CAROL HAWLEY [Dove-Rocky River) A 
very dark, velvety, red semi cactus with 
exceptional substance. It could be 
classed as a miniature and i+ is as such 
that we have grown it for two years, 
but many blooms will be above the 
maximum size limit for a miniature. 
Disbudded, it would be a very attrac- 
tive small ''B'' size flower. Plants are 
bushy and of average neight for a 
miniature, and with a distinctive cop- 
pery green foliage. A midseason 
bloomer. 
CAROL HAWLEY is on Mr. Faust's 
Honor Roll in FLOWER GROWER and 
on Mr. Webb's Review in the DAHLIA.
