NEGUS (K&M 51) 354-85 
Tall growing, deep black-red with velvety sheen. 
Opens 8-10 florets on a 21 bud spike. This is the 
finest dark red on the market today. Does not fade 
or sunburn. Excellent propagator.

NEW YORKER (Graff 50) 440-85 
Certainly one of the best 1950 introductions, a 
beautiful light pink. It attains a height of 55 to 60 
inches with a total of 20 buds. Opens 8 good 
textured florets that are well-placed. Good increaser. 
Doc’s best origination.

NOWETA ROSE (Fisher 50) 568-85 
More of a lavender than rose. Grows up to 60” 
tall having 10 open blooms on a 22 bud spike. This 
is a heavy winner at the shows. Placing is rather 
crowded and rather short heads. In my opinion 
highly overrated.

ORCHID GIANT (DE. BE. 50) 566-85 
A giant with 7-8 huge florets open on a tall spike. 
Color is a light orchid with deep mauve and small 
creamy-yellow blotch in throat. The florists liked 
the appealing color and the excellent spikes very 
much this past season.
