Rosita eee (Chamouny x Elizabeth the 
Queen) This vivacious cerise-rose with lighter picotee 
edges and deeper throat may be called the improved 
Chamouny (which we are dropping this year). At its 
best Rosita is a very beautiful glad. Somewhat variable 
in form but consistently tall and impressive. The ladies 
go for these beautiful rose shades. Rosita will add 
distinction to your garden.

Rosy Future e e (80 days) (Derived 
from seedlings of Dream O’Beauty, Henry Ford, Emile 
Auburn, and a Kundred seedling) A new color treat 
in a deep rose, with a light fuchsia cast. Probably a 
shade lighter than the once famous Dream O’Beauty, 
which was a color champion in its day.

Ruffled Ebony ss es 0 
days) (Melrose x Black Diamond) If you like the rich, 
deep colors, this glad will become your prime favorite, 
for it is king of the deep maroons, eclipsing in beauty 
all others—and by a wide margin. It has only 16 buds 
and opens but 5 or 6 florets, but what florets! Alone 
in its color class it has those broad-petalled, round 
florets that everyone seems to love. Substance is like 
chamois-skin, texture of the utmost sheen, glistening 
like black silk, and—top it all off—a magnificent ruf- 
fling. You'll be grateful that we encouraged you to 
add this royal beauty to your collection of garden gems. 
Mike Sherman calls Ruffled Ebony “one of the best 
things I have seen in the last five years.”

with hosta leaves and eupatorium in green and white to 
relieve the mass grouping of glad blooms.
