CHARLES DICKENS (Pfitxer) Tall red purple. An unusual color 
and a perennial favorite. 
COMMANDER KOEHL (Pfifzer) Very popular dark red. Tall and 
vigorous, with blooms of fine substance, it has long been the 
standard of comparison in this color. 
DEBONAIRE (Palmer) Tall, always straight, spikes carrying many 
medium size florets of LaFrance pink. Sometimes flecks a little 
darker. Pinker, taller, and usually straighter, than PICARDY, 
we find it a welcome change from the salmon tone of that var¬ 
iety. 
DREAM O’ BEAUTY (Zimmer) American Beauty rose-red with 
slightly deeper throat. Its vivid coloring and tall spike will 
make it outstanding in any garden. 
DR. F. E. BENNETT (Diener) The standard of comparison in the 
scarlet-red class. The brilliant color and good cut flower habits 
make it hard to displace as the favorite commercial red. 
DR. MOODY (Kinyon) Large cool lavender. No pink tones in 
this one. Makes a good all around spike and comes fairly early. 
EARLY DAWN (Briggs) One of the very best early varieties we 
have seen. Tall, large flowered, and with excellent habits, the 
clear deep geranium pink florets, slightly darker in the throat, 
make it a valuable commercial. 
E. I. FARRINGTON (Rowe) Lovely lemon yellow. Only medium 
size, but exceedingly beautiful and well worth while. 
EXCELLENCE (Kunderd) Early large flowered bright vermilion. 
Excellent color but inclined to make some short heads. 
FLAMING SWORD (Krelage) A veritable ribbon of bright red 
blooms on a tall, willowy spike. Sometimes crooks in very hot 
weather, but is early and enjoys good growing habits. 
FRANK J. McCOY (Briggs) P ure pink with many open on an enor¬ 
mous spike. Has been many times grand champion at the 
Boston show. 
GIANT NYMPH (Coleman) Dependable light rose pink. An old 
timer but still a good glad. Tall and healthy. 
GOLDEN CHIMES (Ellis) Beautiful large light yellow, slightly ruf¬ 
fled. Very clear color. 
GOLDEN DREAM (Groff) Huge deep yellow. Florets are medium 
in size but the immense spike makes them appear small by 
comparison. Does not open readily from tight bud. 
GRAF ZEPPELIN (Pfitzer) Early large flowered scarlet. Excellent 
color, but the stem appears to be a little weak to qualify as a 
commercial. 
GRAND SLAM (Salbach) Brilliant salmon-orange. Tall, and with 
an unusually bright color, it is distinctive and showy.
