“The Maid of Orleans which you sent me was very lovely. 6 ft. spikes and straight. 
I am more than pleased with all the bulbs I got from you.” 
—Geo. W. Owens, N. Y. 
(Pf) ( Eec ) Soft light pink with white throat. Many medium 
WtJir y fJllCC large blooms open. For color this is one of the most popular 
varieties grown. However in most localities the stems are inclined to crook, some¬ 
times very badly. 
Crimson Glow 
(Betscher) (Com) (Dec) (85-90) Large crimson. 
One of the best of the old time reds. 
Debonair 
Palmer strain. See page 21. 
(Vilmorin) (Dec) (95-100) Smoky purple with cream 
I/CJliClllUllC throat. 6-7 large blooms open. Very popular smoky. 
Domlnus 
(K) (Ex) (Dec) (69) Early deep purplish red with darker 
throat blotches. 7 or more medium size blooms open. Good. 
over- 
nnrcac Aldrich ( Dusinberre ) (Com) (Dec) Early rosejunk 
vaa avii laid with ashes of roses. Five or six good size 
blooms open. A good seller as a cut flower and vigorous grower. 
n«j|i|i (Pf) (Dec) Somewhat ruffled cream white. 6-8 open. Is in- 
**** dined to have rather short bloom spike and blooms too far 
apart though the individual flowers are very beautiful. 
¥? IT Rannntl 1 (D) (Ex) (Com) (90-95) Fiery scarlet with fine 
* * * *** PvnilCil white lines in the throat. 7-8 large well placed 
blooms open. One of the very best for exhibition or commercial purposes, j Still 
considered best cut flower red. 
Tftt* T H Railev ( K ) < Dec ) ( 72 ) 
ur ' n ‘ velvety blotches, 
open. A beautiful variety. 
Deep tyrian rose with deeper 
Several medium size blooms 
Mnndv (Kinyon) (Ex) (Com) (75-80) Light lavender with very 
iTlvUitj fine penciling of a darker shade. Early. Long spike of 
blooms with many open. Strong grower. Whether this is better than Minuet or 
Berty Snow is a matter of taste. Color is somewhat different. I am told that in 
warm climates Dr. Moody does better than Minuet though by most people Minuet 
is considered the better variety. 
n*> NpUdsi CSlinnk ® ( Ex ) ( Com ) ( 78 ) Dee P tyrian rose of a 
JIIIIUA. dark shade. Strong grower. Large, strong 
spikes with 6-8 blooms open. 
Duna 
Palmer strain. See page 21. 
Dawtl (Briggs) (Com) (Dec) (65-70) A new early geranium 
^ <>vvai pink. Large blooms, tall grower, good propagator. 
Will probably prove valuable as an early commercial. Many growers are looking 
for something new in early varieties and this should suit them. 
|7 a ««1ir VfAlailv (Arenius) (Com) Early pinkish lavender. Usually 
J clear but sometimes flecks. 6-8 good size blooms open. 
ITemr (K) ( Dec ) ( 85 ) Dark cherry red with blotches on all six petals. 
ILCjlajj Very odd and distinct. 
“My small order of bulbs arrived in good condition. I was very much surprised 
and needless to say delighted at your generous count. I have been buying bulbs for a 
number of years but have never received such liberal treatment before. Thanks a lot.” 
—Charles H. Reed, Mass.
