throat with creamy 
(90) LaFrance pink to shrimp pink in 
throat mark lightly peppered crimson. 
Debonair 
Sometimes flaked darker pink. Very tall, strong always straight spike with 6-8 
moderately large blooms open. Extremely long bloom spike. Blooms well spaced 
and placed. Grows 5-6 feet tall. Makes a very fine commercial as you can easily 
cut long spikes which the florists like. 
“I also want to state in this part of the country at least Debonair will sur- 
plant Picardy in popularity when it gets better known. Every visitor to my 
garden last summer rated it far above Picardy. Myself I refuse to judge on one 
years growth but it was a sure winner this year.” —R. B. Stubblefield, Illinois. 
(Dec) (Com) (85-90) Soft light pinky buff fading to napthaline yellow 
*^ ****** at base of lip petals. Backs of petals are a shade darker. General 
color effect is distinctively new and pretty. 5-6 good size blooms out on a straight 
spike of better than medium height. 
Blooms are not always well placed but 
this past year have been very good. 
Color that attracts a great deal of 
attention. Very fine for florist use. 
Should make a fine commercial. 
The picture of Duna shown here 
cannot give the beautiful delicate 
coloring. 
‘‘I never saw anything finer than 
Duna, Wasaga and Rosex.” 
—Harry J. Mull, Ill. 
“I saw Duna this summer and am 
in love with it. Want it next year.

Golden Cup 
Inspiration 
(Com) (Dec) 
______(80-85) Clear, 
deep yellow, deeper than Golden 
Dream. Blooms large and wide open 
but with somewhat of a cup shape. No 
throat marking. 5-6 heavily textured 
well arranged blooms on spike of good 
height. Makes large bulblets which 
grow readily. 
(Dec) (85-90) 
Deep shrimp 
pink. Throat lightly marked with 
diffused mauve feathering on creamy 
pink ground. Blooms waved, fluted and 
semi-lacinated giving a very unusual 
and distinctive effect. Under good con¬ 
ditions 6-8 out but sometimes only #5. 
Strong grower and fair propagator. 
This variety sometimes has bare 
stems where buds should be. That is 
there will be a bud or two missing on 
the stem. Have had some very fine 
reports on the variety but I want to 
mention about this particular fault which developed after the variety was in¬ 
troduced. When it comes right it is very beautiful but I can’t guarantee that this 
fault will not occur. Two years ago I had very little trouble with it but this last 
year have found more spikes coming in this way. Possibly it is something due to 
the culture. It is well worth trying anyway. 
lAiifliiSI (Prim. Grand.) (Com) (Dec) (65-70) Clear deep yellow without 
**"*****^** markings. Deepest yellow at the A. G. S. Show in Pittsburgh 
1932. Blooms of medium size on wiry unusually straight spikes. 8 well placed 
blooms out at once. A fine variety in its own right and also should be very useful 
in breeding because of depth and fineness of color and number open. It is the 
deepest clear yellow I know of. Don’t see how color can be improved upon.
