1939 Seedling Introductions 
a 1 i ' 
‘Battleflag’ (35-65) (Marmora x Moorish King) A dark red that, however, is flashingly brijiiarrt for^^'daep color, dif¬ 
fering in this respect from any other deep red with which I am familiar. Spike and florets resimhje Marmora, with five to 
six 5 to 5 x /& inch florets open on fine straight spike 4 X ,4 to 5 feet tall. Its heighth and distinct/ cotoiP. ip--.suggestive of its 
name, for it stands out just as vividly in the field. Healthy grower and good propagator. 1-incn Bulbs, $3.&0r Smstll, 
Bulblets, 3 for $1.00. 
‘Carved Ivory' (36-5) (Rosemary x Picardy) Sister seedling of Gaiety, but a clear warm white self. A round, wide 
petaled floret of very heavy substance. Five inch florets with five to six open on tall rugged spike. The floret and spike 
habits make this variety superior to any white on the market. Add to this that it blooms very early and you have a white 
that any cut flower grower will value. Healthy and a rapid propagator. 1-inch Bulbs, $3.00; Small, $2.00; Bulblets, 3 for $1. 
‘Cynara’ (35-38) (Erica Morini x Picardy) An unusual clear cerise pink self, with small blue toned throat mark. Up 
to six 5-inch florets open on tall and wullowy straight stem, making it ideal for cutting. Its unusual and beautiful color and 
good stem have made a hit with local florists as well as other visitors. Healthy and strong grower and a very rapid propa¬ 
gator. 1-inch Bulbs, $3.00; Small, $2.00; Bulblets, 3 for $1.00. 
‘Fantasia’ (36-116) (Seedling x King Arthur) A melting medium pink self of irresistable color. Small deeper feather 
in throat; petals fhick and very heavily ruffled. Up to six \y 2 to 5 inch florets open on very straight spike. Not as tall as 
most of my other seedlings, but will average 3 to 3% feet. Healthy and a fine propagator. Fantasia is larger than any other 
heavily ruffled pink I know. 1-inch Bulbs, $3.00; Small, $2.00; Bulblets, 3 for $1.00. 
‘Gaiety’ (36-61) (Rosemary x Picardy) Another variety which attracts first by its distinctively beautiful color. Crisp, 
glistening white which harmonizes rather than contrasts with the clear scarlet feathery blotch. The very heavy ruffling and 
thick substance add to its beauty. Five to six 4 y 2 inch florets open in fine double row on tall straight spike, ideal for cutting. 
A variety which I feel outclasses anything else in similar color. Good grower and progagator. 1-inch Bulbs, $3.00; Small, $2.00; 
Bulblets, 3 for $1.00. 
‘Jimgrim’ (35-53) (Wuertembergia x Picardy) A huge flashing scarlet whose size and color are accented by the huge 
snowy white throat. Four to five 6 inch florets open on straight, medium tall spikes. This comes from a cross which, by 
report, has produced outstanding seedlings for three or four breeders, chief of which is F. O. Chamberlain’s “Caroline Wer¬ 
ner Gannett,” a grand smoky which will make history. The huge florets and striking color of Jimgrim never fail to attract 
attention. 1-inch Bulbs, $3.00; Small, $2.00; Bulblets, 3 for $1.00.

Prim Grand with heavily ruffled petals of heavy substance. Opens four to five 4 inch florets on a medium tall spike. Frag¬ 
rance is sweet and rose-like, strong and persistent, throughout the day. A distinct advance in fragrant glads. Stock still 
scarce. Summer Breeze and Honeysuckle are not chance fragrant seedlings, but were developed by selective crossing with 
the direct aim of increasing fragrance, with the result that these two seedlings are the third successive generation in 
which fragrance appears. Healthy grower and good propagator. Large, $5.00; Medium, $3.50; Small, $2.50; Bulblets, 10 for $5. 
‘Honeysuckle’ (1938) (Seedling 36-43F) (Sister seedling of Summer Breeze) Carries a spicy fruity fragrance like that of 
some hybrid tea roses. Not quite as fragrant as Summer Breeze. A deep pink with an orange tone, somewhat ruffled, good 
substance, four 4 inch florets open on a medium tall spike. Healthy grower and a rapid propagator. Stock limited. Large,
