“ Wish you would send me 2 collections No. 30 and No. 38. These are the same I 
ordered last year, with a little change made in your selections. Words can't express the 
beauty they behold." —L. C. Foster, Virginia. 
Mrs. G. Wade *** 
very nice yellow that I think will become popular. 
Mrs. Leon Douglas *** 
(Whitely) (Ex) (Com) Beautiful ruffled 
light yellow opening up to 10 at a time. A 
(D) (Ex) (HG) Late midseason. 
Very large salmon rose striped with 
scarlet. An old variety that was very popular a few years ago and still liked by 
many but some of the newer kinds are more beautiful. 
(Errey) (Ex) (HG) (85-90) Orange 
salmon with orange red blotch. 8-10 
large blooms open. One of the very best orange varieties but like most oranges is 
inclined to fade in the sun. Opened inside is all right. 
(Grow) (Ex) (Com) (95-100) 
Beautiful apple blossom pink 
Mrs. S. A. Errey *** 
Mrs. T. E. Langford *** 
with touch of canary in the throat. Flowers only medium size but 8 or 10 open on 
an always straight spike. Opens up beautifully when cut in tight bud and so makes 
a good shipping variety.

Nancy Ann *** 
Pronounced Nah-dee-ah. (Leffingwell) (Com) (HG) 
_ Small decorative. Upper petals bright salmon with lower 
petals deep yellow. A seedling of Orange Butterfly and very similar to that variety 
except in color and with less tendency for the stems to crook. A very pretty variety 
in the small decorative class. Think you will like it if you like the small varieties. 
(Kinyon) (Com) (HG) (80-85) Pale lavender 
pink slightly deeper at edge of petals. Creamy 
blotch. 6 or more well placed slightly ruffled blooms open on a medium height 
straight spike. Should become a popular commercial variety for local use. Probably 
not quite large or tall enough for the big markets. See picture page 8. 
★ ★★ (Stevens) (Ex) (HG) Immense 
bright salmon. Tall strong grower 
with 6-8 large blooms open on a long flower head. Stems bend a little sometimes 
in warm weather but do not actually crook. Very showy and popular variety. 
(Ellis) (Ex) (Com) Beautiful soft rose blended with 
LaFrance pink. Soft cream throat. Heavily ruffled. 
8-10 or more medium size blooms open on a tall straight spike. A very beautiful 
variety and one that will become popular. 
Netherland Prince 
New Era *** 
Ninth Symphony *** 
Odalisque *** 
(Pf) (Ex) (Com) Clear vivid salmon 
_ red with a silky sheen. 5-6 or more 
large wide open flowers open at a time. A beautiful variety when well grown but 
seems to have a rather weak constitution. 
(Errey) (Ex) (Com) Large creamy white slightly 
tinted pink, with scarlet blotches. Medium height 
plant with 7 or more beautiful blooms open at a time. One of the best blotched 
varieties. 
★ (Sal) (Ex) (HG) (75-80) Bright 
_ orange of heavy substance. 10-12 well 
arranged medium size blooms open. A spike in full bloom looks like a flock of 
butterflies. A very beautiful variety of the small flowered type. Inclined to crook 
some but very nice just the same.
