*WILLY (Dark Red) (28)—One of the finest 
florist varieties, this full double, dark red 
is one of the top varieties. The growth is 
nice and not at all coarse. Willy makes a 
strong plant with quite large wocd and 
ample neat foliage. 
GRINGORE (22)—Usually identical with Mon- 
solet, it sometimes has a very slight darker 
cast. 
*CHARLES MONSOLET (22)—Double cerise 
to cerise-purple On a very strong compact 
plant. This is a growers’ favorite. 
*JOSEPH WARREN (25)—Double purple of 
clear color and fine flower. Well grown 
plants are very compact. Fairly fast. 
NEW PURPLE (25)—Same as Joseph Warren, 
but darker during hot weather. 
MEDIUM TRAILING 
White 
ALBA PLANO (21)—Full double, pure 
white of the rosebud type. The plants are 
very low and trailing with close-jointed, 
very small wood and a myriad of blossoms. 
*SNOWDRIFT (21)—-We can see no differ- 
ence between this variety and Alba Plano. 
Probably a catalog name for the same 
variety. 
*DOUBLE LILAC WHITE (30)—Full double 
white of the rosebud type. The flowers are 
clear pure white most of the time, but 
occasionally show a very little lilac in the 
center of the flower. 
Orchid to Lavender 
COL. BADEN POWELL (15)—Semi-double, 
lilac-white marked cerise. One of the best 
very light colors. 
CLIFF HOUSE (20) — Semi-double, light 
lilac or orchid. Strong grower, popular. 
LAVENDER QUEEN (22)—Fine semi-double, 
clear orchid. Very free flowering and a 
nice plant. Delicate. 
BRIDESMAID (19)—-Large flowered, beauti- 
ful orchid. Tendency to overbloom out- 
docrs, but an excellent pot. 
HANFORD (19)—New. Very. similar to 
Bridesmaid; a little more double appearing, 
slightly larger flowers, and stronger plant. 
ROBER’S LAVENDER (24)—Lighter and 
sometimes more orchid than Lavender 
Queen and Hanford. Good strong plant 
and free bloomer. 
ROBER’S LAVENDER ROSE (19) — Full 
double, rosettes about the size of an open 
Cecil Brunner rose. Light lavender with a 
bluish cast on edges. The foliage is shield- 
shaped on very small wood. A_ profuse 
bloomer. 
LAVENDER GEM 
florets borne 
Lavender Rose 
foliage is crisp and 
wood very small. 
*SANTA PAULA (17)—Very low growing, 
much branching plant covered with a great 
number of lavender-blue flowers. A year-old 
plant often has 150 flower stems in bud 
and bloom. Mr. and Mrs. McCollum of 
Ace Nursery, Altadena, Calif., discovered 
this variety in Santa Paula, California. In 
1952, we introduced it nationally; and in 
two short years, it has become a leading 
variety throughout the country. 
(13)—Full double, small 
in profusion. Like Rober’s 
and Jeanne D’Arc, the 
shield-like and the 
Pink 
*GALILEE (22)—-Double, light clear pink, 
free blooming and a favorite with the 
florists. Fine plant. 
*THE BLUSH (22)—Full double, 
type. A soft pink which sports from 
Snowdrift. Low growing with very small 
wood and soft light green foliage. Good. 
*LUCKY STRIKE (Schmidt) (15)——Double 
rose-pink, lighter on outer edges of petals. 
Large flowers borne in an upright attitude. 
CHARLES TURNER No. 2 (16)—This variety 
has entered the trade as Charles Turner, 
but definitely is not the Turner known 
by specialists for years. This variety is 
semi-double with large open florets of 
bright rose-pink. Always in bloom. A some- 
what sparse plant but hardy. See Long 
Trailing for true Charles Turner. 
*SIBYL HOLMES (35)—Short close growth, 
literally covered with rosebud-type flow- 
ers of bright rose-pink. The flowers are 
extremely double and open very slowly, 
taking more than a month from the time 
they show color until they are fully open. 
Red 
MRS. H. J. JONES (15)—Light red, semi- 
double, with very  well-serrated petals 
making it quite a novelty. The plant is 
fairly good and just about the right de- 
gree of spread for a novelty pot item of 
ivy-geranium. 
*CARLOS UHDEN (24)—Bright, light red 
double that opens wide and shows a 
white center which brightens the red 
very attractively. The plant is good and 
very versatile. 
VICTORVILLE (Conn.) (40)—New red. Here 
is the first offering in our catalog of this 
fine, full double, wide-opening dark red 
which is more double and darker than 
Willy (see Compact). During the warmer 
part of the year, this variety takes on 
an orange hue entirely new to the ivy- 
leaved varieties. The plant is  heavy- 
wooded and fairly compact. 
Rooted only; $1.00 per 10, 
$10.00 per 100 
rosebud 
Cerise 
OLD MEXICO (8)—Semi-double, light cerise- 
purple. A rather delicate grower, but does 
very well if kept reasonably moist and 
has a little shade.
