ALBATROSS (Pfitzer) Very tall pure white with many lily-shaped 
florets open at one time. 
AMADOR (Kingsley) Glistening scarlet red with darker throat. 
An excellent exhibition and commercial variety. 
AVE MARIA (Pfitzer) Light violet blue with deeper throat. Tall, 
healthy, and with excellent cut flower habits, it is deservedly 
popular with home gardeners and florists, alike. 
BABY DECORAH (Prestgard) Exquis ite small flowered white, snow 
white even to the stamens, with delicately frilled florets of un¬ 
usual substance, it is ideal for home and table decoration. 
BERTY SNOW (Mair) F ine large lavender. Taller, and warmer 
color than MINUET, it rivals that excellent variety when well 
grown. BERTY SNOW is unusually thirsty and may sulk in a 
dry season. 
BETTY CO-ED (Briggs) Another small flowered beauty of the most 
delicate shade of soft pink imaginable. A few spikes of this 
in a black vase makes a sight to remember. 
BETTY NUTHALL (Salbach) Late flowering combination of orange 
and salmon pink. The tall, massive spike carries many medium 
size florets which seldom open as wide as we would like them. 
BOB WHITE (Z immer) Another late variety. This makes a mas¬ 
sive spike, carrying many wide open florets of pure white, set 
off by a small rose spearhead imbedded in the throat. We 
have grown this over five feet from No. 5 bulbs. An excellent 
commercial. 
BRICHTSIDE (Prestgard) A bizarre combination of yellow throat 
shading through orange to orange red on the edges of the petals. 
The florets are slightly ruffled. Tall and unusual. It is a val¬ 
uable early cut flower. 
CARA MIA (Miller) Tall spike of many, shrimp pink, medium size 
florets. Very early in season, and of a particularly appealing 
color, we find it valuable for early flowers. 
CARMEN SYLVA (Prestgard) Excellent, very reliable white. Tall, 
straight, and with no markings, we find it compares very fav¬ 
orably with many of the newer, more expensive whites. It 
will stand the heat and is an excellent shipper.
