Very similar to Minuet, but pinker and with a more distinct throat marking is the beautiful Salbach's Orchid. It does 
well in most localities but not everywhere. A much richer color with a most pronounced white spearhead in the throat and 
with a very glossy texture is Joanna Hill. We saw some very fine spikes of Sunnyside last summer at the Minnesota show. 
Apparently this variety can be grown to fair size. The florets are unusually round and the soft color is an interflecking 
of two shades of pale rose pink, reminding one of Rosemarie Pfitzer. A similarly delicate creation is the lovely Mary Car¬ 
michael. 
We still love Crinkles. There is no other glad like it but it must be well grown. At its best it will open six or more 
heavily crimped round florets of a rich deep rose color. Constancy is an improved Pride of Wanakah. Robert the First is a 
very large late variety of glossy texture and a very pale rose color. We recommend it as of probable value in hybridizing. 
Pink Cloud is unique for its contrasting salmon throat. Amethyst is marked by a rose-red throat feather. A deep 
lavender-rose is the unique Col. Charles Lindbergh. . . . The following is our three-fold analysis of the rose-pinks.

Considering everything, Dream O' Beauty is probably the outstanding variety in this popular color class. We have 
many fine testimonials on this strikingly rich flower. It is one of the three or four strongest growers that we know of, gen¬ 
erally reaching five to five and one-half feet with vigorous, broad foliage. It will open ten or more giant florets at one time. 
Of the heaviest silky sheen is black-throated Red Pirate. This medium-sized flower has an exceptionally fine finish. 
Rich and velvety is the ruffled Sultan. Give it support when it blooms. The giant Ramesses has rather narrow petals and 
too dull a color to rate high in beauty, but what a spike it can make! A little harsh in color at times but very, very im¬ 
pressive with its twelve to sixteen florets open at once is Red Lory. 
Royal Robe is similar to Sultan and is very rich. Pirate opens several very large, heavy florets of a rich subdued rose 
red. E. C. Vick shows some flecking but is a great grower. The old Purple Glory is a deeper shade of rose-red than any 
other in this class. Similar but lighter is Purple Victory. The following analysis will help you select the varieties you prefer:
