EUIDES*—(Errey)—B5-—Not a real white, more old ivory- 
self; opens 10 or more; will be heard from in a big way soon; 
was sensation at Winnipeg show, 19S6. Better get some Bits. 
ERIC THE RED—(Ellis)—A18—Very large clear red; won¬ 
derful exhibition variety; florets a bit loose on stem but tight 
enough for most purposes; opens 8; 7 in. across, sometimes. 
ESCORT*—(Tower)—B4—Nice coming commercial white, 
no marks; opens 7; medium height; faces correctly; propa¬ 
gates good; fine open florets look up at you. Good investment.

to Lady Marie. 
FLAMING METEOR*—(Mitsch)—A17—Probably the tallest 
growing red; good commercial; opens 6; fine clear color of

Bits. only. Comes well recommended from Australia and 
other countries.

agator; probably has a good future.

eight. I consider better than Maunga which does not prop¬ 
agate good.
