Pink to Dark Rose 
JEAN OBERLE — Double, very light-pink, 
shading to a darker center. A very narrow 
outer edge of each petal is bright carmine. 
An old time variety which is popular in the 
middle northern states. 
BERTHE DE PRISILLY—Double, clear light 
pink with a little white in the center of the 
florets. The flower heads are good sized 
and the blooms hold their color well. The 
plant is compact although fairly large and 
rapid. The wood is medium. Good pot plant 
and excellent bedder. 
MARIA WILKES—A s‘ight color variation of 
its parent, Berthe de Prisilly. The plant and 
flower are identical and the color just the 
slightest bit more pink. 
REVERIE—Excellent large-flowered, orchid- 
pink double. Free-bloomer on rapid plant. 
OLD ROSE—Soft tone of old-rose or rose pink 
on a hardy, but small-wooded, small plant. 
Rooted only, $8.00 per 100 
SPRINGFIELD SHELL PINK—Stong compact 
grower with a profusion of medium-sized 
double flowers. One of the most prolific 
bloomers. 
CALIFORNIA BEAUTY—Semi-double to dou- 
ble, pink or light rose-bloom with white 
center. The plant is very compact. Flowers 
bloom close above foliage. 
FRANCES PERKINS (Mrs, Perkins) — Semi- 
double to double, pink or light rose-pink 
with white center, practically identical with 
California Beauty except that the flowers 
stand well above the plant. Foliage is bright 
green on good plant. 
CALIFORNIA GIANT—Identical with Pink 
Giant, except it is a shade lighter, show- 
ing less of a rose tone. This will become 
a popular warm weather variety when 
more stock is available. 
Rooted only, $8.00 per 100 
NOTE: California Pink Giant offered by field 
growers was a mixture of California Giant 
and Pink Giant as well as seedlings. Most 
strains had become smaller flowered and 
later flowering than the original strains. Last 
year we offered Pink Giant at standard 
prices and next year we will be able to offer 
California Giant at standard prices. Both 
varieties have been built up again from orig- 
inal strains acquired from private: hobbyists. 
ie Ee 
PINK GIANT—Semi-double, enormous flowers 
of lavender-pink with white eye on a low- 
growing, stocky plant. Foliage is soft gray- 
ish-green. This is one of the best lavender- 
based pinks or ‘‘strong pink” varieties. 
PINK PHENOMENAL (Phenomenal Pink) — 
Almost identical with Pink Giant except the 
plant is slightly larger. Choice is strictly 
preference. 
JEAN VIAUD — Semi-double, lavender-pink 
with white center. While the flower is not 
quite as large as the two preceding varie- 
ties, it is difficult to distinguish the differ- 
ence. The plant is slightly larger than Pink 
Phenomenal. Jean Viaud makes a good fast 
pot plant or excellent bedder. Most popular 
in the area of Kansas, Missouri and south- 
ward. 
PINK BARNEY—Full double, deep rose-pink 
with small white center. Plant is compact, 
foliage waved and soft. The plant is delicate 
for bedding purposes, but a very profuse 
bloomer as a pot plant. Most growers now 
prefer the very large flowered, semi-double 
varieties in this color. 
EDNA (Pink Better Times)—Double, dark lav- 
ender-pink with white center. The variety 
we offer is McAdams original strain carry- 
ing their name Edna, and is just a shade 
brighter than most Pink Better Times which 
are being offered. The plant is typical Bet- 
ter Times, from which it sported. 
IRVINGTON BEAUTY—Semi-double, soft rose 
with salmon cast. Very heavy bloomer with 
good-sized flowers. The plant is low branch- 
ing with pubescent foliage. Fine pot variety. 
MRS. RICHARD GLOEDE (Thomas Meehan, 
Los Angeles Beauty)—Double, clear rose 
with salmon cast. This splendid plant makes 
a good pot plant south of Chicago and an 
excellent bedder anywhere. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY—Double, very large, 
clear rose about the same shade as Mrs. 
Richard Gloede, but with less salmon cast. 
Enormous blossoms on a large plant. 
PINK ABUNDANCE—Double, bright reddish 
rose-pink of a shade difficult to place in 
sequence. It is lighter than other rose 
shades, but the salmon cast is stronger. 
Plant is strong and ultimately large, but 
excellent as a bedder or pot plant.
