Leader
E. G. Hill Co.'s Red Premier
We have had four dark sports of Premier, which we have been testing for the past three years. One of these was noticeable for holding its color best, not showing pale shadings, and always coming a fine red in cool weather; this we labeled Leader to avoid confusion.

Premier has sported in similar fashion in several places over the country, and we think they will all be found nearly identical in character.

This break has produced a valuable rose on account of its fine color--which is a deep cerise red; added to the fine qualities of the parent, buyers can grow it just as they do Premier without experiment; it is not as full as Premier, but opens into an immense flower of splendid keeping quality.

Will be found an exceedingly popular and profitable cold weather red.
