Originations of W. S. Bockstoce [Included with his obituary]
Note: All these are hybrids of Officinalis Rubra and some lactiflora variety.
Anna M. Smith (1935). S. E. R. Early red single. Note: This is the description and name of this variety sent in by Mr. Bockstoce himself and also so described in the Gist Check List. We note it listed in the only price list in which we have seen it as Annie M. Smith and described as a new, double, bomb type. Attractive light pink.
