SWEETHEART (Prestgard) (Medium Decorative)

VALERIA (Pruitt) (Large Decorative) 
Excellent early scarlet. Similar to Bennett but much 
earlier, and with better placement. Also a cooler shade of 
scarlet, being much like Red Phipps in color. A very prom¬ 
ising commercial. See picture on page 25. (L. $1.00; 3—$2.00)

Brilliant scarlet with saucer-like florets but moderate 
spike. (L. $2.00) (Blbts. 1—20c) 
TOKEN (Crow) (Medium Decorative) 
Early salmon of very heavy substance. Said to be a fine 
cut flower in the East but seems unable to endure our 
warmer midwest summers as it crooked for us consider¬ 
ably and was prone to fall over in the field. (L. 15c; 3— 
35c; 10—$1.20) (M. 10c; 3—25c; 10—80c) (Blbts. 10—15c;

TJNCAS (Webster) (Large Decorative)

tone. (L. $1.00) (M. 90c) (S. 75c) (Blbts. 1—10c; 10—75c) 
ZUNI (Mitsch) (Exhibition) 
This new smoky, which builds a huge spike and pos¬ 
sesses a frilling very unusual for so large a flower, has 
already made a great name for itself. Color is rather in¬ 
describable, having more of a purple infusion than most 
smokies. The throat is distinctly coppery. Pictured on page 
21. (L. $1.20) (M. 60c) (S. 30; 5-451.20; 10—$2.40) (Blbts.
