F. C. Hornberger, Home and Garden Service 
5'6 open very large florets often six 
inches. 
BEN HUR (Hornberger) (Com. 
Dec.) Medium height, stocky plant, 
heavy spike; 4-6 open large flowers, a 
very fine color, deep, rich purple; easy 
propagator. 
BERTY SNOW (Mair) (Ex. Com. 
75-80) A very nice lavender, 7-8 
open large flowers on a good spike; 
good propagator. Very good but not 
equal to Minuet. 
BETTY NUTHALL (Salbach) (Ex. 
Com. 100-110) Coral pink, pale yel¬ 
low throat, markings shading to 
orange, general color effect salmon 
orange. Very tall, straight spikes, a 
massive, heavy plant, rapid propaga¬ 
tor. Large well-placed flowers; a good 
keeper and shipper. One of the best 
commercial cut flowers on the market 
today. A real money maker. 
BILL SOWDEN (Fallu) (Ex. Dec. 
80-85) We were one of the very first 
to grow this variety as Fallu sent us 
some of his stock before he introduced 
the variety. Very large, massive deep 
blood-red, 6-7 inch blooms with 5-6 
open. A sensational new variety; 
bulblets somewhat hard to germinate. 
This variety originated in the garden 
of E. J. Fallu, Adelaide, So. Australia. 
BLUE DANUBE (Pfitzer) (Ex. Com. 
80-85) Beautiful light blue; long, 
straight spike; 6-8 large florets open; 
good placement; large flowers; clear 
color; bulblets hard to germinate. 
BLUE TRIUMPHATOR (Pfizer) 
(Ex. Dec.) Tall spike, large flowers. 
Has been called a super Glad by some 
growers. A very slow propagator. 
We have not found this a satisfactory 
grower and to get real exhibition 
blooms you will need very good seed 
bed conditions. 
BON ECHO (Bonisteel) (Com. Ex- 
hib.) (80-85) Lovely light pink, su¬ 
perior to Mrs. Sisson. A very fine 
variety, should be more widely grown; 
extra good here. 
BLEEDING HEART (Brown) (Ex. 
Com. 82-85) White, suffused pale 
pink, with large red distinctive blotch; 
8-10 open. Strong grower, fast prop¬ 
agator. Outstanding, a new glorified 
Pendleton. Extra choice. 
BROWN WINGS (Hornberger) 
(Dec. 80-85) Prim Grand, moderate 
height; a color novelty, general color 
effect brown and tan; a favorite with 
people who like odd shades. 
CANBERRA (Errey) (Ex. Com. 90- 
95) Tall, strong growing plant, long 
spikes, a good yellow, buds have 
greenish cast but color is good when 
bloom are open. 
CAPT. BOYNTON (Boynton) 
(Com. 80-85) Light lavender; tall, 
large flowers; good commercial; good 
propagator. 
CARA MIA (Miller) Prim Grand 
(Com. Dec.) Tall spike; shrimp pink. 
An extra early variety; good for early 
bloom. 
CATHERINE COLEMAN (Joe 
Coleman) (Ex. Com. 90-95) A clear 
salmon rose; 7-8 large flowers open; 
good placement; tall strong plant. The 
large, heavy bloom sometimes bend 
over the spikes; extra good. 
CHAS. DICKENS (Pfizer) (Ex. 
Com. Dec.) Early; very tall purple- 
violet; strong grower; vigorous plant; 
good propagator. 
CHAMPLAIN (Palmer) A new light 
blue. We have not grown this long 
enough to pass judgment, but we give 
it a high rating on the strength of the 
claims of the introducer. This looks 
to me like an improved “Heavenly 
Blue”; good grower, good color. 
COMMANDER KOEHL (Pfiuer) 
(Ex. Com. 80-85) A large, clear, 
dark blood-red; tall spike, strong 
plant; good propagator; flowers very 
large; a real outstanding new red. 
CORONADO (Briggs) Heavily ruf¬ 
fled white with purple lace-like throat.
