beautiful spike in the show.’ —W. M. Anderson, N. Y 


Amberglow kk KY, (Medium Dec) (Early) Deep amber yellow of 
most beautiful shade. The prettiest yellow. 
Stock very scarce this season. Order early. 
< Kk %#&Y% (Large Dec) (Midseason) Beautiful clear medium 
Amrita buff, sometimes tinged with pink, with a warm yellow 
throat. 6 or more beautifully ruffled blooms open on a spike of 16-18 buds. A beauti- 
ful pastel. 
Amulet %%&%1, (Medium Dec) (Early mid-season) Beautiful heavily 
ruffled clear medium buff, sometimes tinged with 
pink. This is a sister seedling of Amrita and the description sounds the same, but 
it is entirely different. The blooms are not quite so large and are more heavily 
ruffled. Placement perfect. 6-8 Open. One of my favorites, that I would include in 
any list for the home garden or local commercial use. See cut page 44. 
*#&%*Y, (Medium Dec) (Late mid-season) Beautiful clear 
Angelus 4; 
medium salmon of unusual shade. Opens 6 medium 
large, somewhat ruffled, well placed blooms on a long head. Very tall husky grower 
and a fine commercial. This variety is not known so well as it should be. I am sure 
you will like it. It deserves a place in every garden. 
Bagdad KkkwwY (Large Dec) (Late) Smoky old rose that is fine for 
; exhibition and for the home garden. Liked by some 
florists but not a regular commercial color. Opens 6-8 large blooms at a time. 
Ballad New Introduction. See page 10. 
Barcarole kk «=©6 (Medium Dec) (Late mid-season) Large clear 
grenadine orange of a most exquisite clean, clear 
shade. Opens 6—7 beautifully ruffled blooms of heavy substance. One of the most 
distinctly beautiful varieties of all time. One you have to see to appreciate. A 
fine clear, clean color and perfectly gorgeous. See cut on page 8. 
Beacon wk *w&k*w (Large Dec) (Mid-season) Clear bright rose scarlet 
‘ae aeet estat tote tite with cream blotch. Opens 8-10 medium large, some- 
what ruffled blooms on a very tall straight willowy spike. This is the most popular 
variety since Picardy was introduced. Cut flower growers everywhere are stocking 
Beacon and it brings the highest prices in the cut flower market. 
At this writing, Nov. 1, 1941, No. 3 size are pretty well sold out by the big 
growers. It will be nearly as big a seller as Picardy and will be in demand for years. 
See cut on page 16. 
Bolivar %&%** (Large Dec) (Early mid-season) 5-6 medium large red 
blooms open. A strong vigorous plant. Good seller. 
k*&*Y, (Large Dec) (Late mid-season) A color sport 
Buccaneer of Pirate. Identical with Pirate except in color, 
which is a nice medium rose and should be very popular as a commercial and for 
me home garden. Opens 5-6 large flaring wide open blooms at a time on a tall slender 
plant. 
* *&%&%Y (Medium Dec) (Mid-season) Blush white tinted 
Camellia pink with a moderate pinkish feather. 6-8 well 
eat Oa ruffled blooms open on a long flower head. Medium height plant. A 
eautiful variety. 



“BOLERO is in bloom now. And to my mind it is one of the most beautiful things out. 
| can just picture it grown to bloom in fall when we have the bronze and yellow shadings 
of flowers. Mums etc., for fall, to work with it. We muchly like the WINSTON too.
