Excerpt from The Weekly Florists' Review, Vol. 11: November 27, 1902
Floriana is proving to be a good thing. The color is good and the growth is free and strong. We consider it far superior to Marquis, which it resembles some what in color and form. In red we are growing both Crane and America in quantity and both are good. Crane is giving us large quantities now of fine blooms on long stems and we are well pleased with it. A standard scarlet. America has not come into full crop with us yet, and the stems are not so long as those of Crane, but it is so good by mid winter that we must have it.
Among the newer ones we like Apollo very much, indeed. You can hardly tell it from Crane, except that the color is much more brilliant. Does not perfect its bloom as early, though, with us.
Mrs. Potter Palmer does not seem to like warm weather, but is beginning to improve wonderfully and will likely prove a fine cold weather variety, as were both of its parents. The color is getting much better lately.
James Manley was so determined to bloom that he forgot to grow and our plants are not very promising. With a good start and proper handling this is likely to prove a red Dorothy.
Estelle is another variety that has failed to make good enough plants to make a good crop of blooms possible. If we could get the color of this one into Crane or America we would surely have a prize Winner. Start it early if you want quantity.
