orange with tints of pink and with a slightly 
darker feather. It is really beautiful and dis- 
tinctive. My wife and I both fell in love with it 
this past season. It grows 4-4)% feet tall and 
opens 6-8 5 to 6 inch blooms on a 20-23 inch 
head. Will make a grand commercial. One of the 
real good ones. Stands out anywhere. Beulah 
Fortnam wrote me ‘‘Argosy first impressed me 
with its color, then its performance. Saved last 
blooms from frost by cutting and opening in the 
cellar from tight bud. It opened this way true to 
color, size and quality.”

AZALEA 462(Taylor)M A distinct and unusual 
medium shade of old rose blending to a golden 
throat. 50’-52” plant with 18-20 buds and 7-8 
open, 6-7 in color. Something different and one 
everyone likes. Beulah Fortnam says it was fine 
with her and a wonderful performer. Beulah 
knows her glads.

BALLERINA 541(Rowse)M Here is one of the 
finest varieties I know. A favorite with both my 
wife and myself. A giant plant with 8 huge 6 
inch or larger ruffled blooms open with several 
showing. Light pink shading to snow white 
toward center and on lower lip and with a small 
diamond shaped rosy red blotch. An ideal florist 
color. The light pink predominates. Whites with 
blotches are very popular but to me this is 
much more beautiful than any of the latter. An 
easy opener. Strong grower and fine propagator— 
often blooming. from bulblets. Attachment is not 
quite strong enough for a commercial shipper but 
is plenty good for local use. Don’t miss it.

BIRD OF PARADISE 506(Sommers- Koerner) 
M Here is a grand novelty—totally unlike any- 
thing or any other variety in existence. The 
ruffled, fluted, serrated, needlepoint petals are 
long and narrow and all about the same size. 
Florets are wide open sometimes reaching 8 
inches across. The color is creamy pinkish apricot 
with light pink edges and deep coral red in the 
throat. Texture is heavy like a sea shell. The 
florists like it as it is tops for arrangements. Last 
season it was one of my biggest sellers among 
new introductions. ; 
Prices same as last year $3 for any size.
