SMILING MAESTRO (Christ). Deep salmon rose, somewhat overlaid light red. Eight 
6-inch flowers open on good exhibition spikes. A most showy variety valuable alike 
for the show table and for commercial use. Fine propagator. L. 80c each, 10 for 
$6.40; M. 50c each, $4.00 per 10; S. 3Cc each, 10 for $2.40; Bits. 10 for 40c, 100 for $3.00. 
SOLVEIG (Prestgard). White, carmine feather. Six 5^-inch flowers open. Very heavily 
textured well ruffled flower. A wonderful flower at its best but unreliable in most 
sections and a rather poor grower. Slow propagator. L. $1.50 each; M. $1.00 each; 
S. 50c each; Bits. 10 for 75c. 
SON ATI ME (Pf.) Rich pink, throat light with red feather. Six 5 *4-inch flowers open on 
tall straight spikes. Quite early. One of the best commercial varieties from Pfitzer. 
Clear colored flowers of large size on fine spikes for cutting. This looks to me like a 
coming florists’ flower. Fine propagator. L. 80c each; M. 50c each; S. 25c each; 
Bits. 10 for 80c. 
SOUTHERN CROSS (Wliiteley). Clear red. Six 5-inch flowers open. Another flower 
that should make a good cut flower variety. Flowers well faced on quite good 
medium height spike. Rapid propagator. L. 25c each, 10 for $2.00; M. 10 for $1.20; 
S. 10 for 8Cc; Bits. 100 for $2.00. 
STAR OF BETHLEHEM (Pf.) Tall white. Six 6-inch flowers open. This appears to be 
the best white on the market. Does not make quite as smooth bulbs as Maid of 
Orleans but has larger flowers than that variety and is more graceful than most 
other big whites. L. 50c each; Bits. 10 for 80c. 
STORM TRIUMPHANT (Swenson). A striking new smoky of deep chocolate tones. 
About eight 5-inch flowers open. This is much on the order of Emile Aubrun but 
much deeper in color tone. Very rich. Should be a fine exhibition variety. Good 
propagator. L. $3.00 each; M. $2.00 each; S. $1.00 each; Bits. 25c each, 10 for $2.00. 
SUNNYSIDE (Phillips). Light rose pink over white. White throat. Up to eight or ten 
4-inch flowers open. A beautiful flower when well grown but rather temperamental 
here. Slow propagator, the bulblets being difficult to grow. M. 40c each; S. 25c each; 
Bits. 10c each. 
SUNSET CLOUD (Steves). Pink shading to light throat which has darker markings. 
Reminds one some of Mrs. P. W. Sisson but deeper in color tone. About six or seven 
4 ^-inch blooms open. A fine cut flower variety. Good bulblet producer. L. 30c each; 
M. 20c each; Bits. 10 for 25c. 
*SUPERWH ITE (Ellis). Very pure white. Six 6-inch flowers open on a tall spike. Looks 
good from the few spikes I have seen. L. $2.00 each; Bits. 25c each. 
SUSSEX (Errey). Light pink with red penciling on cream throat. About ten 4 1 / £-inch 
flowers open. Long spike. A fine exhibition sort. Rapid propagator. I believe this 
to be one of the best of the recent Errey varieties. L. 40c each; M. 20c each, 10 for 
$1.60; S. 10c each, 10 for 80c; Bits. 10 for 30c, 100 for $2.00. 
SWEETHEART (Prestgard). Pink with cream throat. Five 4-inch flowers open. A 
beautiful prim which is a fine cut flower. Good propagator. L. 10 for $1.00; M. 10 for 
75c; S. 10 for 50c; Bits. 10 for 25c. 
TAINUI (Julyan). An unusual flower of salmon orange in its general color tones. Eight 
or ten 4%-inch flowers open on quite a good exhibition spike. Bulblets are very small 
and make little growth the first year but they are abundantly produced. An interest¬ 
ing new variety. L. $1.00 each; M. 60c each; S. 30c each; Bits. 10 for 80c. 
TAIAROA (Miller). Smoky salmon with darker blotch. A flower that varies much in 
color. Six or eight 4%-inch flowers open. I am led to believe that this variety 
should have good culture to do well and would probably be best in cool weather. 
Fine propagator. L. 75c each; M. 50c each, 10 for $4.00; S. 30c each, 10 for $2.00; 
Bits. 10 for 50c, 100 for $3.50. 
TAKINA (Burns). Huge rose purple. Spikes of fair height with about six 6-inch flowers 
open. Described as growing to a size of eight or nine inches in New Zealand, but has 
not been so big with me thus far. Color not especially attractive but this should be 
fine for hybridizing. Prolific. L. $4.00 each; M. $2.50 each; S. $2.00 each; Bits. 50c 
each, 10 for $4.00. 
TAWHAKI (Doney). Bright orange blotched darker. Six 4 1 / £-inch flowers open. Tall 
spikes. Fine flower but subject to burning and fading in hot weather. Fair propa¬ 
gator. L. 60c each; M. 40c each; Bits. 10 for 80c. 
TENNYSON (Kingsley) Brick red with slate cast. Seven 4-inch flowers open. Quite 
popular but does not appeal much to me. L. 15c each; M. 10c each; Bits. 100 for 40c.
