NEW BEDFORD, MASS.

ruffled blooms is still very popular but the red that drew the most attention at the shows 
and in the field was RED GIANT; its bright and unusual red color makes it show up from 
way across the field. MAX SCHMELING (since renamed Rondo) is a good red; in fact one 
of Pfitzer’s best new ones and maybe it will be more popular now under the name Rondo. 
DR. GLADYS MONTGOMERY is much the color of King Arthur; it is a strong grower 
and has been much admired in the field for several years. MINUET is still supreme in its 
own shade of lavender. ISOLA BELLA was again very fine. HIGHLAND CHIEF, from short 
acquaintance, seems a worthwhile deep lavender. We liked the light lavender POESY very 
much the last two seasons; it sure was good and at its low price should be tried by many this 
year. RIMA is very nice; the color is a very light lavender, much lighter than these men¬ 
tioned above. WALKURE is good but the bulbs rather rough; have seen some great spikes 
of it however. COLONIAL MAID on one year’s showing looked very nice. 
RED BANK (Winsor) 
In the purple shades RAMSAY MacDONALD, SIR HUBERT WILKINS and WITTLES- 
BACH are a good trio. The newer TAGORE is another fine addition to this color class as is 
KING COYLE of Mair’s. 
From Errey in Australia, besides the great Mrs. C. C. Errey, there were several that were 
fine this year. The older CHASSEUR was fine, the large flower heads attracted lots of the 
field visitors. A spike of EUIDES at Boston was as fine as I ever saw of anything. ROSE
