PURPLE 
Gloaming—an outstanding tall willowy purple with a pure white throat. A dependable 
performer that is widely grown and used by florists in the west. Not widely grown here in 
the east. We consider it one of the best cut flower varieties in commerce, we can’t seem to 
get enough of it to satisfy our Florist trade. 
Ramona—an outstanding winner in Canadian shows for the past two years. Color is rich 
and the spacing, facing and texture are excellent. A very worthwhile addition to this class. 
King Lear—by far the finest color in this purple class. Heavily ruffled and very beauti- 
ful. In spite of loose attachment and soft texture a spike of this will take your breath away. 
LIGHT and MEDIUM VIOLET 
Blue Beauty—a very large and striking medium blue. Appears to be a vigorous grower 
and good all round performer. Every lover of blues should have this one. 
SMOKY and ODD SHADES 
Sahara—in my opinion this is tops in this class. A light russet with a soft blotch of buff 
lightly peppered with russet and with red penciling. Tall vigorous grower with perfect 
flowerheads opening ten striking blooms. Very outstanding. 
Zuni—a really different smoky, color is hard to describe, but a combination of slate, blue 
and purple might cover it. Makes excellent spikes and is very striking. 
Wampum—a dark smoky old rose with a white feather in the throat. Seems to be a 
vigorous grower with good habits. This one is really unusual and very outstanding in this 
class.
