SCHERZO 
I consider this one of the most beautiful and refined of all 
my varieties. In flowers of similar color pattern their novelty, 
instead of their beauty, is generally their chief attraction. This, 
however, is a flower of exceeding beauty in color and form. 
Its coloring of raisin purple boldly and rather uniformly 
splashed throughout with white with a rather prominent blue 
halo surrounding the yellow patches is most delightful. Its 
broad, well rounded and ruffled falls of semi-velvety texture 
are held flaring to straight-hanging, and the rather short 
standards and styles form a more or less globular or torch 
shape in the center, which lends distinction to the charming 
flower. Flowers are large and are carried on large, strong, 
straight, long-branched stems 42 in. high. It blooms freely 
in late midseason. Illustrated above.

ROSE CAVALIER 
This is a showy, three-petal, bright, medium  red-purple 
colored flower of good size with white undercolor showing 
through the pansy violet color on falls and with heavy veins 
radiating from an amethyst violet halo. Center of flower is 
uniform prune purple edged with a white hairline. Flowers 
are beautifully poised on straight, medium heavy, strong stems 
to 49 in. high. Early midseason bloomer. A distinctive, beau- 
tiful and dependable variety. 
$22.50 each.
