HOBO A-FD-LtBl [Rocky River) A large 
formal with an unusual color combina- 
tion; white with the outer third of each 
petal suffused deep lavender. The effect 
is that of a bi-color, but withthe colors 
reversed. Thick, waxy petals hold up 
well even in bad weather. Foliage is 
dark green, and glossy. Under field 
culture, our early blooms have had some 
short stems, but later blooms have had 
much better proportioned stems. Very 
popular with visitors here. Size 1|0x5. 
HOBO received a Certificate of Merit 
at the Cincinnati Trial Grounds, the 
only one to which it was sent.
