PURPLE TWEEDLE (Van Voorhis ’43) — 271 L 
A good purple — and there are very few small pur- 
ples, good, bad or indifferent. This one has added 
distinction of a large yellow lip that sets it off to 
advantage. Opens 5 on 15 bud spike. Excessive fer- 
tilizing will force florets beyond the 3% inch limit, 
but the variety is essentially a small type glad. 
L. 25c; M. 20c; S. 15¢ 
RAGGEDY ANN (Plummer ’50) — 262 M 
Rose red heavily splashed cream, especially on lip 
area. Petals are long, pointed and have laciniated 
and scalloped margins. This is truly a novelty. Spikes 
are very tall and stretchy, many with 18 and 19 buds. 
Easily opens 6 and 7 florets while one sensational 
spike popped 10 open for us. Chief fault is tendancy 
to crook. 
L. 25¢ 
ROSETTE (Kuhn ’42) — 260 M 
A ruffled light rose similar in general habits to 
Crinkles. Will open 8 to 9, and we have seen 10 and 11 
open. Placement not always too good, and sometimes 
crowded, but other virtues overshadow this infre- 
quent tendency. 
L. 2-25¢c; M. 3-25e; S. 5-25¢ 
ROSEMAID (Brown) — 260 E 
An old variety still worthy of growing. Light rose 
with deep throat is the color. It’s early and prolific. 
Never a crook. Florists like it. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25e; S. 5-25¢ 
RUBY (Kuhn ’46) — 252 E 
A fine all-around performer. Florets are pure dark 
red without markings. Four to 5 will open on 15 bud 
spikes. This is a must have. It will please you and 
win for you. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢ 
SAINT CECILE (Whitby ’49) 206 M 
A dainty cream with pink suffusion and lavender 
throat stippling. Four to 5 open on 15 bud spikes. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25e; S. 5-25¢ 
SILVERSIDES (Kuhn ’47) — 262 M 
Rose red with deeper coloring in lip — a different 
than ordinary color. Seventeen-bud spikes hold 6 open 
and have 6 colored in vertical placement. 
L. 2-25e; M. 3-25e; S. 5-25¢ 
SMILETTE (Sisson ’49) — 260 M 
Color is dusty rose with deeper rose lines in the 
throat. Slight ruffling adds distinction to this differ- 
ent color combination. Opens 3 to 5 on compact spike 
of 14 to 15 buds. A very fine variety. 
L. 25c; M. 20c; S. 15e¢ 
SPOT O’ ROSE (Kinyon) ’50) — 201M 
Here is a white with a big spot of rose -— a rare and 
much needed color break in small whites. The spot is 
deep rose set in the center of the nicely rounded 
florets which are arranged alternately and close to- 
gether. Five will open, while 4 are showing color. 
L. 25c; M. 20c; S. 15¢
