BION (Palmer). Reddish salmon with red blotch. Five 5 1 4-inch flowers open on a 
medium tall spike. The round form makes the flowers appear larger than others of 
the same diameter. The name comes from “Believe it or not”. L. 75c each; M. 50c 
each; S. 25c each; Bits. 10 for 50c. 
BOB WHITE (Zimmer). White with red blotch. Five 4%-inch flowers. Reported to be a 
good florist flower. L. 20c each; M. 15c each; S. 10c each; Bits. 10 for 20c. 
BONITA (Kingsley). Pink salmon, lighter in the throat. Six 4%-inch flowers open. Good 
spikes. Fine for cut flowers. Good propagator. L. 50c each; M. 30c each; S. 20c each; 
Bits. 10 for 40c. 
BRIGHTSIDES (Prestgard). Yellow ground, orange red shadings. Five 4-inch flowers 
open. A brilliantly colored ruffled prim that should be most popular for vases. Good 
propagator. L. 10 for $1.00; M. 10 for 75c; S. 10 for 50c; Bits. 10 for 25c. 
BRILLIANT (Prins). Brilliant red nearly self colored but with brighter narrow feathers. 
Five 3%-inch flowers open. Spikes very slender and wiry and much branched. Often 
crooked but not objectionable as it adds grace to the flowers when arranged in small 
vases. A miniature. L. 10 for $1.00; M. 10 for 60c; S. 10 for 30c; Bits. 100 for 40c. 
BULLFINCH (Mair). Orange salmon overlaid slate, yellow blotches. Six 4-inch flowers 
open on a spike of moderate length. Very striking and bizarre in color, particularly 
if bloomed in cool weather. L. 80c each; M. 40c each; S. 25c each; Bits. 10 for 50c, 
100 for $3.50. 
CAESAR (Roozen). Brilliant orange scarlet with deeper colored blotch. Five or six 
6-inch flowers open. Very showy. This variety seems to be one of the best of the 
Roozen varieties but until the last year or two has been a slow propagator. It is now 
producing much better and I believe will be in considerable demand. L. 30c each; 
M. 20c each; S. 15c each; Bits. 10 for 25c, 100 for $1.75. 
CANBERRA (Errey). Vigorous medium yellow with up to ten 4-inch florets open. The 
small pink feather detracts some and it has the fault of showing the stem between 
the rows of open florets. But for these factors, it would probably be the best exhibi¬ 
tion yellow yet. L. 10 for 50c; M. 10 for 30c; Bits. 100 for 20c. 
CAN ZONETTA (Christ). Deep salmon similar in tone to Smiling Maestro but lighter. 
This apparently opens more blooms than the latter variety. About ten Scinch flow¬ 
ers open. My first spikes bloomed in bad weather and were crooked but this may not 
be characteristic. L. $20.00 each; M. $12.50 each; S. $8.00 each; Bits. $2.50 each. 
CARL GRAF CHOTEK (Pf.) Blush pink with red blotches and red splasliings on the 
upper petals. An odd piece of color and quite showy at times. Six 4 *4-inch flowers 
open on a tall spike. Somewhat slow propagator. L. 25c each; M. 15c each; S. 10c 
each; Bits. 10 for 20c. 
CARMINEA (Mair). Rich carmine with lighter markings in the throat. Nine 4-inch 
flowers on a good spike. Perhaps the best exhibition variety in its color. Good 
propagator. L. 10 for $1.60; M. 10 for $1.00; S. 10 for 50c; Bits. 100 for 60c. 
CHAMPION (Mair). Large deep lavender. Six 5-inch flowers open on a tall spike. Should 
be staked to hold up the flowers. One of the largest of the Mair sorts. L. 60c each; 
M. 30c each; S. 15c each, 10 for $1.25; Bits. 10 for 40c, 100 for $3.00. 
CHEROKEE (Palmer). Pink salmon with red blotch. One of the first to bloom. Seven 
414 -inch flowers open. A beautiful flower but rather weak stemmed. One of the 
most showy blotched Glads. Good propagator. L. $1.60 each; M. 80c each; S. 40c 
each; Bits. 10 for 80c, 100 for $6.00. 
CHRISTABEL (Mitscli). Shrimp pink with cream throat. Eight or ten 5-inch flowers 
open on a tall spike. Facing usually good. One of the popular varieties in my garden 
and a favorite with florists. A rapid propagator. Unfortunately, the bulbs have a 
habit of discoloring as is the case with a few other varieties and while they grow as 
vigorously and make as fine flowers as most any other variety, the discoloring de¬ 
tracts from the appearance of the bulbs. L. 25c each, 10 for $2.00; M. 15c each, 10 
for $1.20; S. 8c each, 10 for 64c; Bits. 10 for 25c, 100 for $2.00. 
CICERO (Errey). Salmon pink with deep red blotch. About nine 4%-inch flowers open. 
Good straight spike. A good exhibition sort. L. 30c each; M. 20c each, 10 for $1.50; 
S. 10c each, 10 for 80c; Bits. 10 for 25c, 100 for $1.50. 
COMMANDER KOEHL (Pf.) Dark red, nearly self color. Six 5^4-inch flowers open. Very 
tall. Texture extra good. Perhaps the finest moderately priced red. Its worst fault 
is that of bad facing on many spikes. Fine propagator. L. 10 for 60c; M. 10 for 30c; 
S. 10 for 20c; Bits. 100 for 25c.
