ROCKY RIVER INTRODUCTIONS 
STORM CLOUD (Baker-Rocky River) This 
semi cactus grows larger naturally than 
any of our current introductions. Grown 
14x9, it won as largest bloom in the 
Moline show in 1952. Field grown 
blooms frequently attain twelve inches 
in diameter. In 1952 it was dark red in 
our trials, but in 1953 it was reddish 
purple during the hot, dry, early sea- 
son; later in the season it was again 
red. Plants are tall, and wide spreading 
producing big buds that are a joy to 
watch as they open. 
STORM CLOUD has three AMERICAN 
HOME Achievement Medals to it's 
credit, won at Moline, Louisville, and 
Indianapolis shows. Louisville and In- 
dianapolis Medals were won by Mr. 
George Shee, who grew it on trial. It 
is on Mr. Faust's Honor Roll in FLOW- 
ER GROWER and on Mr. Webb's 
Eastern Dahlia Review in the DAHLIA. 
STORM CLOUD It was awarded a Certificate of Merit 
at Atlanta Trial Grounds.

TIMMIE (Elkins-Rocky River) This fine minia- 
ture was originally called "Little Tim- 
mie", but Timmie, the grandson of Mr. 
Elkins, the originator, rightfully feels 
that he is no more "little, so the name 
has been changed. A well formed, for- 
mal decorative with creamy centers, 
blending to light rose and rose-violet 
at the tips. Blooms average about three 
inches in diameter and stems are nearly 
ideal. A consistent winner whenever 
shown this past season. 
TIMMIE was chosen as the best minia- 
ture of the National Capitol show in 
Washington, D. C. It won the AMERI- 
CAN HOME Achievement Medal at 
Richmond, Va., and is listed on Mr. 
Dudley's Honor Roll. It was awarded 
a Certificate of Merit at the Rutgers 
Trial Grounds.
