ing color on a nice long spike of 16 to 18

VANGUARD (Brauer 1937) 
(See illustration page sixteen) 
Ruffled light orange salmon, at times 
somewhat lacinated. Early, blooming 
about ten days after Mibloom. Five to 
six 4-inch florets on slender and grace¬ 
ful but always straight spike. A very 
promising early cut flower on account 
of its unusual keeping qualities and ease 
of propagation. Outstanding in beauty 
of form and color.

Medium 20c each; 10 for $1.50.

VALERIA (Prui+t 1938) 
A very outstanding red variety some¬ 
what similar to the very popular old Dr. 
F. E. Bennett, but with us, much su¬ 
perior to that old favorite. Opens 5 to 7 
large ruffled florets at one time on a tall 
straight spike. Of very fine substance 
and keeping quality. We believe that 
this has a great future both as a com¬ 
mercial and exhibition variety. Award
