“/ was greatly pleased with your No. 1 UNLABELED COLLECTION which 
you sent me last spring. I do not believe I could choose a better selection than the one 
hundred bulbs which you sent me.” — Mark T. Valentine, W. Va. 
Commander Koehl *** 
Colossus *** (Mitsch) (Com) (HG) Very early light pink with 
wivjB small red feather on a cream ground. Very large. Due 
to its extreme earliness and immense size of blooms this should become popular 
as an early commercial. 
(Pf) (Ex) (Com) (80-85) Large 
^ ___massive clear blood red. Tall 
straight spikes. Probably the most popular medium red both for exhibition and 
as a commercial though the color is darker than we like for a commercial variety. 
Not a good shipper and sometimes temperamental as to health. 
(Mitsch) (Com) (HG) (Midseason) Light salmon 
pink with cream throat blotch. 5 or 6 blooms open. 
A very beautiful variety of refined coloring. Good propagator. 
(Arenius) (Com) (HG) Second early. Large rose 
pink with a darker throat blotch and tinged with 
lavender. 5-6 open. A fine commercial variety that is the best in its color class 
at its time of blooming.

Creve Coeur *** 
(Young) (HG) (100-105) Burnt orange with 
throat blotch of deep red which is dusted and 
tipped with creamy yellow. Several medium large blooms open on a tall straight 
stem. An unusual but attractive color that everyone seems to like. Always wins 
in competition. 
“Since the first showing of CREVE COEUR in 1936 it has been entered twelve 
times without a miss. 7 firsts, 3 seconds and 2 thirds. If there were other entries I 
don't know of them.” —E. H. Young, Illinois. 
“Had two spikes from the medium sized bulbs of CREVE COEUR. Both 
almost six feet tall and could not possibly be any straighter. Color odd but beautiful. 
—J. Kent McClure, Canada.

iaris 
(Beatrice Palmer) (Ex) (HG) (Midseason) 
_ Clear purplish red or burgundy. 9-10 medium size 
well placed blooms open with most of the 8-10 remaining buds showing color. 
Sometimes nearly the whole spike open at once. Tall, straight. Though the 
flowers are not so large as King Lear it does make a fine showing with its long 
spike of bloom and clear color and I feel sure will become a very popular purple.

been for many years and still is the standard commercial scarlet tho the growers 
are looking for something better.

saw them wonder how I grow such large and beautiful glads.”
