MY OWN INTRODUCTIONS 
Although I have grown hundreds of thousands of seedlings since 
1922, I have to date introduced only two. However, I have several more 
coming along, which, if they will stand the test of a few years, will be 
introduced! at a popular price. A more complete description of these two 
varieties will be found in my 1941 catalog. 
MARGUERITE (Picardy x Wurtembergia) A clear, deep watermelon 
pink, with cream throat,—it has never been known to fleck or crook. Very 
long flower-head, with excellent keeping qualities. Opens four to five 
florets at a time, six inches or more. Strong, healthy grower. Has won 
blue ribbons at last four Washington State Shows, also two’ blue ribbins 
at Pacific Northwest Show in 1940. (Large $1.00 each, 10 for $9.00; med¬ 
ium 75c each, 10 for $6.75; small 50c each, 10 for $4.50. Bulblets 2 for 
25c, 10 for $1.00.) 
ANNAMAE (Seedling of Maid of Orleans) Introduced in 1940 as 
Annamae Schoonover. A pure snow-white, with tiny wine-red spot at base 
of petals. Blooms about ten days earlier than Maid of Orleans. Five inch 
florets with five to six open. A fine early cut-flower. Altho this is intro¬ 
duced as a commercial variety,—at the 1939 Washington State Show it 
took five judges to decide between Annamae and our Seedling No. 332, as 
to which was the best large decorative spike in the show. At this same 
show the general public voted this their favorite white variety in the show. 
(Large 10 for $2.00, 100 for $15.00; medium 10 for $1.50, 100 for $10.00; 
small 10 for $1.00, 100 for $7.50. Bulblets 10 for $.25, 100 for $1.00. ) 
A FEW NOTES ON NEW VARIETIES 
Those of you who regretfully discarded the old Aida, will find in 
ATLAS the identical coloring, but with a good, strong spike. EDEL¬ 
WEISS and MATTERHORN are two of the best mid-season whites I 
have seen. SNOW PRINCESS and MYRNA are outstanding and very 
popular, but should be classed as a faint cream, rather than white. HIN- 
DENBERG'S MEMORY will probably replace Commander Koehl in the 
blood red class, due to its healthier growth. SURFSIDE is one of the 
most popular ruffled milk-white varieties in our garden. LORD SEL- 
'KIRK was a big disappointment this year but may show up better on 
further trail. PFITZER’S MASTERPIECE has lost most of its earlier 
tendencies to crook, and has become one of our best pink cut-flower var¬ 
ieties. VISTA BONITA is one of our tallest growing varieties. MARG¬ 
ARET BEATON seems to be the best and most popular of the newer red- 
throated varieties. EARLY ROSE is currently outstanding in the rose 
shades, with GARDENS OF THE NATION a winner in the rose-cerise 
class. GREY GHOST, ZUNI, and JALNA are among the best in the 
smoky class. 
SPECIAL QUOTATIONS. To growers, dealers, and jobbers buying 
in large quantities, I will be glad to make special quotations on round lots. 
Please advise just what varieties and sizes you w^ant. 
Complete cultural instructions, including treatments of bulbs for 
thrips, will be sent with all orders. 
My 1941 catalog, which will be issued in early January, wall be the 
most complete and informative of any I have ever issued. I will appreci¬ 
ate receiving the names of your glad growing friends so that I can mail 
them a copy,
