" ,1, Claim. (Cl. 47mm) chio (Plant Patent No. 484) without the-yellow color which is the characteristic color of the parent varieties. Thi objective was obtained in another plant, and one of the fellow seedlings appeared as this light pink, with a vigorous and free-growing plant, producing a shower of blooms over the whole plant when it first blooms in the spring. 1

The plants of the new variety diifer i'rom Pinocchio" in that theoriginal flower clusters are not quite so large, but many more branches are formed. while the blooming and repeating habits are similar to those of other members of the Pinocchio family.

. Other outstanding and desirable features of themewwariety which distinguish it from its parents as well as from other varieties are evilienced by the following:

(1) The mound-like habit of growth;

(2) The hundreds or blooms which appear and last for a long period;

(3) The Shrimp Pink lightly overcast with La France Pink color of the blooms, which is diiierent from the characteristic "Pinocchio pink which is the nearest comparable variety; and

(4) Its freedom of winter forcing when used as a pot rose.

Asexual reproduction of this new variety by budding at Newark, New York, and at Pleasanton, California, shows that the foregoing characteristics come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations.

The accompanying drawing shows specimens of the new variety, with the flowers and foliage in difierent stages of development. 7
