ABYSSINIE (Lemoine) —One of the newest from this well known originator. A dark ma¬ 
hogany violet in color; spikes of good length and a rather early variety. A medium 
decorative. L 75c, M 50c, S 30c, Bits. 4-25. 
ADERIO (Nichols, U. S. )—Aderio resembles an orchid in its color and shape. The color is 
an orchid-pink and the blooms are very heavily ruffled and of fine texture. It makes a 
nice spike and was very favorably commented upon in the gardin. L 25c. No discount. 
ADVANCE (Heemskerk) —Tall, strong growing, orange with heavy foliage. Florets are 
large, clear orange; a very worthwhile glad. L 25c, M 20c, S 15c, Bits. 1 0-25c. 
ALARM (Pfitzer) —A most attractive crimson red. The unruffled florets are of good size 
and substance. Fine cut flower. L $1.00, Bits. 10c each. 
ALCHEMIST (Pfitzer) —A yellow from Pfitzer, which, like so many of his yellows, is early. 
The large rich yellow florets open quite flat and give a most pleasing appearance. A 
tall straight grower. L 2-10c, M 4-10c, S 6-10c, Bits. 50-15c. 
ALEC CLARK (Swenson) —Light salmon pink, flecked darker at edges with a white throat. 
Good spike of large flowers with 8 to 10 open. Best seedling and champion bloom at 
Ballarat, Australia. L 40c, M 25c, S 2-25c, Bits. 5-15c. 
ALEXANDRIA (Mair) —This variety from Mair is one of his very best. It makes nice long 
spikes and is a pleasing straw color with the edges of the petals slightly rose pink. 
Surely a pretty one. L 25c, M 15c, S 2-15c, Bits. 10-15c. 
ALKEMADE’S TRIUMPH (Alkemade) —Large, round florets of clear orange with a darker 
feather in the throat; florets are slightly ruffled and open quite flat against the spike. 
Stands up well in the field. L 3-1 5c, M 6-1 5c, S 10-1 5c, Bits. 50-1 5c. 
ALLAN WATT (Mair) —This magnificent exhibition Scotch variety is a buff with a bright 
carmine feather; many very large blooms open at once on a long spike and a strong 
grower. L 40c, M 25c, S 2-25c, Bits. 5-15c. 
ALLEGRO (Pfitzer) —O ne of Pfitzer’s best so-called blues. It has good clear color and 
opens many florets at one time. The light “blue” becomes quite dark in the throat but 
is lightened by white darts on the two lower petals. We believe it to be one of the best 
light “blues” to date and it is a fine cut flower as well as an exhibition glad. L 20c, 
M 2-25c, S 3-25c, Bits. 10-30c. 
AMALFI (Pfitzer) —Nice new one from Pfitzer. Pretty medium shade of red with a more 
maroon throat. L $2.00, S 80c, Bits. 1 5c each. 
AMANDA (Uhrig) —Salmon orange was the color we described this variety as the past sea¬ 
son. We note the originator calls it salmon pink. Large florets on tall straight spikes 
are very showy. This one blooms fairly early and is a good producer. L $2.00, M $1.00, 
S 50c, Bits. 10c each. No discount. 
ANGKOR (Lemoine) —Another showy variety from abroad that is easily the best in its 
color class. A beautiful lemon yellow with a nice blood red marking in throat. Winner 
of 1st at Boston and New York as an exhibition variety. L 25c, M 15c, S 2-15c, 
Bits. 10-15c. 
ANNA MAY WONG (Pfitzer)—This nice colored yellow self has been grown here for sev¬ 
eral seasons and has attracted much attention. It is a straight grower, good increaser 
and a fine addition to this color class. L 20c, M 2-25c, S 3-25c, Bits. 10-30c. 
ANNA REGINA (Pfitzer) —A new light salmon rose with a cream throat, introduced directly 
by Pfitzer. Very pleasing, delicate color. L $1.00, M 60c, S 30c, Bits. 10c each. 
ANNE RAHMSTORFF (Barth) —A f ine ox-blood red which produces very long spikes of per¬ 
fectly placed florets, opening 8 to 10 at a time. A fine exhibition variety. L 2-20c, 
M 4-20c, S 6-20c, Bits. 20-1 5c. 
APHRODITE (Barth) —Glowing salmon red, large blooms, tall and vigorous and a sensation 
in Germany. F. C. C. at Haarlem, Holland. L 15c, M 10c, S 3-15c, Bits. 15-15c. 
ARABELLA (Pfitzer) —A glossy dark red, almost black, that makes a nice spike. Probably 
best described as a much improved Moorish King, especially since it does not have the 
tendency of Moorish King to produce short flower heads. A novelty so much reduced 
in price this season that all glad fans should get a start now. L 2-25c, M 2-1 5c, S 2-1 0c, 
Bits. 15-1 5c. 
ARETHUSA (Heemskerk) —A new, glowing, orange-red with a slightly darker blotch. A 
fine variety that is a big improvement over Orange Princess. Midseason. L 20c, M 2-25c, 
S 4-25c, Bits. 15-15c. 
ARTEMIS (Barth) —Light flesh-pink (bit on the buff) with a yellow throat. Very fine in 
color and growth. L 50c, M 30c, S 20c, Bits. 10-25c.
