DR. JOHN F. MORSE A-ID-DrR (Olesen- 
Rocky River) A heavy textured, velvety, 
dark reddish purple, more red than pur- 
ple. Plant stem and substance indicate 
it to be one that can be forced for size. 
With ordinary culture it grows ten to 
eleven inches in diameter, but has been 
grown to better than thirteen inches. 
Does not fade or burn readily, and has 
consistently performed well in the hot, 
dry summer climate of its native lowa. 
We believe that those who like to "'see 
what can be done" with "em" will grow 
some outstanding blooms of it.
