“Your WINSTON was wonderful. | can see where | shall want some of your new 
varieties for next year. —Philip Barker, Mass. 

(Seedling 36153) (Minuet x King Lear) (Large Dec Mid- 
Convoy season) Clear lively Rhodamine purple. About the ree toa 
true purple I have seen. Blooms are large, lightly waved and ruffled with rolled back 
petals giving a most pleasing round bloom effect. Opens 5-6 with 8 showing color, 
and a total of 18 buds, usually well placed on a tall always straight spike. Stands 
heat el Fine propagator. A very beautiful clear color and a real addition to the 
purples. 
Prices $5.00 each for large bulbs. Bulblets $.50 each. 
| alta (Seedling 35229) (Picardy x Miss New Zealand) (Large Dec) (Mid- 
em season) Beautiful begonia rose. A sister seedling of Corona and some- 
what similar to that variety except in color, and with that variety’s good qualities 
of growth, habits and propagation. Opens 6-7 very large usually well eed Picardy 
style blooms on a very tall straight ee 16 total buds. We have been looking for 
a good rose variety for some time. I think Malta will become very popular both for 
the home garden and as a cut flower. Very vigorous and strong. 
Prices $5.00 each for large bulbs. Bulblets $.50 each. 
e (Seedling 340411) (Maid of Orleans x Picardy) (Large 
Marimba Formal) (Mid-season) Light buff sometimes tinged with iti 
and with a modified Picardy feather. Opens 8 or more large always well placed 
Picardy type blooms on a very long head. A sister seedling of Mermaid and fully as 
tall and strong as that variety. Growth will average close to 6 feet, often going taller 
than that. Stems are slender but strong. This attracts lots of attention and every- 
one seems to like it. It is popular in our flower shop. Used as a premium bulb this 
year but I am also selling it. 
Prices $5.00 each for any size bulb. Bulblets $.50 each. 
Tr lon (Seedling 34046) (Maid of Orleans x Picardy) (Large Dec) (Late) 
y A sister seedling of Marimba and Mermaid. Huge round somewhat 
cupped shaped blooms. Open 6—7 well placed blooms with several showing color 
and has a long head. Stem is heavier even than that of Mermaid and makes the 
largest and strongest growing plant I ever saw. It is a regular blooming telegraph 
pole approaching 6 ft. in height and always straight if planted deep. You can’t 
imagine what a plant this makes without seeing it. Fair propagator. Used as a 
premium bulb this year, also offered for sale. 
Prices. Large bulbs only, $5.00 each. I am holding small stock and bulblets for 
increase. 
THE PALMER STRAIN 
Aladdin *&*&Y, (Large Dec) (Mid-season) Bright salmon with large 
“el nts hate nc td tod cream blotch. 8-10 immense beautifully ruffled 
blooms open on a long head. 
This creates a sensation wherever shown. A fine cut flower. Plants very strong 
and robust and a fine propagator, but requires plenty of moisture and fertilizer to 
get it as tall as we like. This past season I had the best Aladdin I ever had with 
plenty of height and simply gorgeous spikes of bloom. When well grown one of the 
finest varieties in existence. See cut page 44. 
s 1 Large Dec) (Early) Brilliant glowing scarlet, 
Algonquin ‘aft Actes shade darker than Rocket. Opens 8-10 
wide open, ruffled and needlepoint blooms. Tall straight spike. This can produce 
the finest spikes of any scarlet I ever saw. Wonderful for exhibition or commercial 
use. A sister seedling of Regent and Rocket but different type from these and fully 
as good as either of the others. See cut page 44,
