Recent Introductions and Rare Varieties
Rosabel Walker. Hybrid Tea. (F. Cant & Co., 1922.) Long, tapered buds and very double, flat flowers of brilliant velvety crimson; moderate perfume. Very vigorous growth, free flowering, and healthy.
A good decorative variety for the garden, especially in early summer. It is very tall-growing and should be most sparingly pruned. Apparently it has strong kinship with Hybrid Perpetuals and possibly should be classed with them. The very vivid color is close to that of Red-Letter Day. $2 each.
