INTRODUCTIONS OF 1932 
GOLDEN POCKETT—This sport from Yellow Pockett being several shades 
darker in color is a decided improvement. Louisa and Yellow Pockett are great 
favorites with the growers of large exhibition blooms. This variety should be an 
acquisition for this purpose. The color is about the same as Mrs. Nellie T. Ross 
in the commercial section. Height, medium. Select bud August 20. Matures 
October 20. 
WELL’S LATE BUFF—When properly grown Well’s Late Pink still holds 
its own, for size and color, among the exhibition varieties and this new sport is 
equally valuable for this purpose. In color it is similar to such varieties as Mrs. 
August Koch, Floyd Gibbons and so forth; a rather pinkish, creamy buff. Dwarf 
in growth. Select bud September 10. Matures about November 5. 
Plants from 2*4 inch pots: $0.75 each, $6.00 per ten, $50.00 per hundred. 
Not less than 5 of a variety at ten; 25 at hundred rate. 
EXCEPTIONAL EXHIBITIONS 
Those desiring a greater variety of exhibitions should consider the following 
for, while they are not as dependable as the standard exhibitions for the average 
florist, they are very large and spectacular in appearance. When propagated in 
March, giving ample space between the plants and careful consideration in select¬ 
ing the buds, the results should fully compensate any extra effort. 
ALICE BENSON—A very good and large sized white for exhibition use. The 
form is' reflexed and the petals are very much twisted and interlaced. Very good 
for exhibition purposes. Flowers mature about November first. Height of plant, 
five feet. 
CARRIE BEINECKE—Disseminated as an improved Majestic which would 
indicate the color was a golden bronze. Select bud after August 20. 
ELLEN MACKAY—A large reflexed light yellow with exceedingly broad petals 
which are very graceful and pleasing in their manner of arrangement. Is of largest 
size. Height of plants four and one-half feet. Matures November first. 
GOLDEN MAJESTIC—This sport from Majestic is a bright yellow in color; 
in other respects is identical with its parent. It should become very popular as 
an exhibition variety. Select bud August 20. Matures October 25. Medium 
dwarf growth.
