MARGERY (462) 
1953 Introduction 
MARGERY—A very ear- 
ly large flowered variety 
(blooms in 70 days), is a 
brilliant cerise rose with a 
deeper rose throat. Many 
of our customers and vis- 
itors call it an American 
beauty rose. 
Its color has a sparkle and 
luster that must be seen 
to be appreciated. 
Margery easily opens 8 or 
more slightly ruffled 5” 
florets, with very good 
placement and firm at- 
tachment and most of the 
remaining buds showing 
color. 
Under ordinary field culture the spikes will average 21 buds with a 26” flower- 
head and a field height of 58”. Foliage is deep green and of medium 
height making the tall spikes easy to cut. Margery produces high crowned 
and healthy bulbs. Bulblets are of average size and germinate easily. 
Propagation is good. 
This past season we planted some large bulbs of Margery in our first 
planting of all early varieties and it was the first large flowered variety 
to bloom and only a few days later than the extra early small flowered 
varieties. Because of its earliness, extra fine color and dependability 
Margery will be a profitable variety for the commercial grower.
