flowers, and another very desirable variety. Sheila—early salmon pink—not as 
tall as the three foregoing varieties, but not a short grower—very consistent and 
has been used as a forcer for years. 
PINK-APRICOT —Betty Nuthall—very popular though late, produces tall erect 
spikes consistently, with warm apricot to pink flowers, one of the best and enjoys 
a real popularity. Apricot Glow—tall apricot on willowy spikes, nice sized flow¬ 
ers, a very desirable shade and has a large use as a forcer, but does better in the 
cold frames. Ming Toy—an old variety that falls in the same class and habits as 
Apricot Glow—the former is to be preferred. Gay Hussar—strawberry pink to 
orange, good sized flowers on a medium tall spike, a strong color combination 
and quite popular. Nancy Hanks—pink, orange and apricot blendings on a 
medium sized spike. Helen Howard—pink to amber; nice sized flowers on tall 
spike—only fairly consistent in its production. 
LAVENDER —Minuet—the best shade of lavender, continues to hold its position 
as the leader, nice sized spikes with large flow r ers. Eearly Melody—a new variety 
that is not as clear in color as Minuet, but early and a very fine lavender to pink; 
large flowers on tall and erect spikes ; a very easy forcer and very dependable. 
This variety has met with easy acceptance and will be one of our leading com¬ 
mercial varieties. Dr. Moody—a nice shade of lavender on a strong spike, is not 
as dependable at times, producing its flowers in bad form. Opalescent—lavender 
pink flowers of fair size on a strong wiry spike, not as dependable as it should be, 
but has been in use for several years. 
YELLOW —Yellow Wonder (K)—early light yellow, good sized flowers on a 
strong, willowy spike, well liked and forces very well. Yellow Favorite—with 
habits very similar to Yellow Wonder, but is a diffused yellow with deeper throat 
of a brown caste. Golden Frills—very early, clean nice yellow with sharp small 
scarlet mark in throat—ruffled and one of the very earliest to bloom. It is primu- 
linus, small flowers and short grower, But forces easily and a good producer, being 
one of the first to bloom, the variety is still valuable and popular. Gold Eagle— 
very early, tall heavy forcer with small flowers that do not open wide, very early 
and many thousands are forced every year. Golden Dream—a late tall strong 
yellow, these flowers do not open very well; it is, however, forced in quantities. 
Golden Glow—has very similar habits to Golden Dream, a little lighter in color 
and opens a little wider with similar habits. 
ORANGE-RED —Orange Queen—early and a very nice shade of orange, a primu- 
linus producing nice willowy spikes, grown extensively and popular. Dr. Bennett 
—an excellent color, large bright scarlet flowers, fine spike and can be forced 
most successfully, the most popular red. Commander Koehl—a large scarlet—not 
as clear as Dr. Bennett, on a strong spike, one of the newer ones doing nicely. 
Dr. Nelson Shook—rose red—heavy growth—does fairly well as a forcer. Copper 
Bronze—the name implies the color of this primulinus, produces its strong, slender 
spikes easily and is grown in quantities—being one of the older varieties. 
PURPLE-NOVELTY —Charles Dickens—purple violet, grows well, tall willowy 
spikes. Troubador—clear purple, strong spikes and forces quite well. Mother 
Machree—a blending of neutral shades with lavender and cream, a desirable nov¬ 
elty color, tall spikes that force quite well and is being used more each year.
