EARLY MELODY (Arenius). Light lilac pink with cream blotches. Six or seven 4 1 ,4>-iiich 
florets splendidly placed on long spikes. An extra good early commercial variety. 
Florists like this one. Fine propagator. L. 30c each, 10 for $2.00; M. 20c each; Bits. 
10 for 25c, 100 for $1.50. 
EDITH ROBSON (H. A. Brown). Salmon pink with crimson throat. 414 -inch flowers 
with eight open. Good exhibition and cut flower. Prolific. L. 10 for $1.60; M. 10 for 
$1.00; S. 10 for 60c; Bits. 100 for 50c. 
EIGHTH WONDER (Kunderd). Smoky old rose overcast brown. Six 5-inch flowers of 
leathery texture open on a medium short spike. Very popular with visitors. L. 10 for 
60c; M. 10 for 40c; S. 10 for 25c; Bits. ICO for 35c. 
EMILE AUBRUN (Lemoine). Smoky rose salmon, rose red throat. Ten 5 14 -inch flowers 
open on good spikes. Flowers very well arranged on the spike. An old one but still 
one of the finest. This variety has perhaps had more influence in producing fine new 
varieties than any other sort ever brought out. Splendid yet for hybridizing, and well 
worth growing for its own beauty. L. 10 for 40c; M. 10 for 2Gc; S. 10 for 12c; Bits. 
100 for 10c. 
EXCORT (Tower). Early white commercial. Seven 414 -incli florets open on a well 
arranged spike. Not very tall but perhaps would be with good culture. Probably one 
of the best commercial whites. L. 30c each; M. 20c each; Bits. 10 for 25c. 
ESKIMO (Pf.) Pure white. Another commercial white that gives considerable promise. 
Seven 41,4-inch florets open on good spikes. Somewhat like Purest of All but taller. 
L. 75c each; M. 50c each; S. 25c each; Bits. 10 for 50c. 
FANNY CROSBY (Carpenter). Up to ten 4 1 / 4-incli cream colored florets open on a tall 
tapering spike. Large bulbs usually have several double blooms. Not reliable in all 
sections but a good commercial cream flower here. L. 10 for 60c; M. 10 for 40c; 
S. 10 for 20c; Bits. ICO for 20c. 
FATA MORGANA (Pf.) Light salmon pink with cream throat. Seven 414 -inch flowers 
open. Beautiful color with good spikes but one that well repays good culture. Diffi¬ 
cult to germinate the bulblets. L. 10 for 60c; M. 10 for 40c; S. 10 for 25c; Bits. 
100 for 30c. 
FLAMING METEOR (Mitsch). Bright deep red self. Six 5%-inch florets open. About 
the tallest Glad in my garden. Good texture and one of the clearest reds on the 
market. I have many favorable reports on this and reports from customers indicate 
that it is doing well in many places. It is not without its faults, however. From largest 
size bulbs there is a tendency at times for the first few florets to be widely spaced, 
showing the stems. It does not open a great number of flowers at one time. In the 
garden, I believe it attracts more attention than anything else in my planting. The 
flowers by reason of their brilliance and height stand out strongly. Several baskets 
made up of the variety last summer from spikes from Nos. 4 and 5 bulbs were the 
most gorgeous of any I had. Very vigorous and fair propagator. 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. 
FLAMINGO (Christ). Rose pink with white throat blotches. Somewhat like Serenade in 
color. About eight 4 1 ,i-inch florets open. My spikes this past season were crooked 
but I had only two or three from large bulbs and this may not be characteristic. 
L. 10.00 each; M. $6.00 each; S. $4.00 each; Bits. $1.00 each. 
FLOSELLA (Palmer). Very light pink. Five 5-inch florets open. Good spike. Texture a 
bit soft. L. 10 for $1.60; Bits. 100 for 50c. 
❖ FLYING SQUADRON (Ellis). Reddish salmon with deep red blotch. Five 6-incli florets 
open. A giant in size and a very showy attractive flower. Quite a good propagator. 
M. 50c each; S. 25c each; Bits. 10 for 80c. 
FREDERICK CHRIST (Diener). Soft light pink with lighter throat dotted deeper than 
the ground color. Up to nine 5-inch florets open. At its best this is one of the finest 
exhibition varieties but it is rather a fickle performer. Slow propagator. L. 20c each; 
M. 15c each; Bits. 10 for 10c. 
FRILLED CHAMPION (Roozen). Large ruffled deep orange salmon. Five or six 5-inch 
flowers open. Spike medium tall but rather short flower head. The ruffling and 
color are so fine that this is well worth growing despite its faults. L. 10 for $1.60; 
M. 10 for $1.00; S. 10 for 60c; Bits. 100 for 60c. 
GABRIEL (Errey). Salmon heavily flecked and shaded smoky. Nine or ten 4-inch florets 
open, making a fine exhibition spike. Those who like smokies should like this one 
especially. Good propagator. L. $1.00 each; M. 60c each; S. 30c each; Bits. 10 for 80c. 
GATE OF HEAVEN (Pf.) Ruffled deep yellow. Five 4 1 / 4-inch flowers open. This opens 
quite strongly shaded with green but fades to deep yellow. Not a very reliable per¬ 
former with me but reputed to be one of the best yellows with some growers. Prolific. 
L. 10 for $2.00; M. 10 for $1.20; S. 10 for 60c; Bits. 100 for $2.00.
