Several of the finest varieties in this exceptionally beautiful color class have already been pictured and described in 
this catalog: Sweetheart, Naeara, Mrs. E. R. McManus, and Rosemarie Pfitzer. 
As grown in cool climates Coryphee is supremely beautiful, but few fans have ever seen what this variety can really 
do. In mid-continental North America with its hot summers it hardly pays to grow Coryphee: not only does it crook badly 
but the florets lack the full roundness and lush texture which this variety displays when given ideal conditions. 
Creamy-pink Reverie is a larger Lotus without the unusual waxy texture of the latter variety. Mrs. Langford also re¬ 
sembles Lotus. It is ruffled and contains more yellow in the throat. 
Lady Eaton is an extremely pale pink of unusual velvety substance. Petals are strongly recurved. It is a fancier’s 
flower. Christabel is a warm light pink making a generous spike outstanding for color rather than style. Debonair and 
Mrs. Sisson are fine light pink seifs or near-selfs. The latter is the larger and is very beautiful when well grown. Lindesta 
is a fine upstanding sort with a creamy throat and well rounded florets. Schwaben Girl is much the color of Mrs. Sisson 
but is not ruffled. 
Wm. Cuthbertson has an unusually snowy throat and heavily crimped, cup-like florets. Yvonne has a distinct fleshy 
texture and a rose throat marking. . . . Unusually dainty is pink and white Olive Goodrich. . . . Perhaps our two most 
beautiful prims are Mrs. Calvin Coolidge and Zona. The former has the richer throat and is ruffled rather than frilled like 
the latter. An admirable feature of Zona is the small round throat marking which gives this glad unusual style. 
While Miss Joy is a fine primulinus grandiflorus, it is practically superseded by the more beautiful Sweetheart. Hence 
we do not price Miss Joy this year, though continuing to give recognition to its quality. Of almost a flesh color is chalice¬ 
like Blushes of Cream. 
The two best blotched sorts in this class are Bleeding Heart and Mrs. J. R. Walsh. The former possesses the greater 
beauty of form while the latter is unusually rich, and is also ruffled. 
The following is a careful analysis of the light pinks:
