Pink Varieties
Faribault (Brand).  8.2.  Pink.  This variety was displayed as a seedling a few years ago in our own city.  We took about seventy-five blooms in a large vase.  When the citizens in the show room came in to see the flowers in the evening they greatly admired this large vase of flowers under artificial light.  When they found it was a seedling and had not been named they suggested we name it Faribault in honor of the city.  This is a splendid late variety coming into bloom with Marie Lemoine.  The color is a deep rose with a silver sheen.  The collar petals are a trifle lighter than the guards.  The center petals are silver tipped.  The total color effect of a number of blooms is that of blending shades of rose.  The fragrance is mild.  The stems are long and very strong.  It is a free bloomer with large sized blossoms.  Faribault is fast becoming known as a late deep pink cut flower sort.  It is a very profuse bloomer and we find it a wonderful moneymaker as a cut flower.
