ships in 1940. Blue ribbon winner at Boston 1941. For beauty 
and warmth of color we recommend the lovely small-flowered 
Cinderella. A real beauty for decorative work. Puritan 
was very attractive. 
PINK and ROSE PINK 
Thaldaine is truly fine in form and beauty and will be 
popular. Glamis is characterized by its decorative needle- 
point type of floret and the color is good, too. Sensation 
is also attractive in form. <A well-grown Chaumony is a 
dream because of its unusual coloring. Lavinia and Sonatine 
are good sellers and worthy of their popularity. 
SALMON PINK 
Picardy is still a leader because of its strong growth and 
grand flowers, but in my opinion Conquest and Angelus are 
par excellence in warmth of color and sheer beauty. Great- 
heart is a strong grower and looked good on first trial. We 
liked the soft color of Sandra and the florists did too. 
Cooney Lass makes a very decorative spike and it is a fine 
addition to this class. 
LAVENDER 
Isola Bella was excellent again. Though a little short in 
stem it is a real addition to this group. Of course Minuet, 
when well grown, is still tops. Rima, a superb beauty, was 
much admired. While Lavender Queen may fleck at times 
it produces fine blooms consistently. As a cut-flower it sold 
well. 
VIOLET 
Blue Beauty, as it grew for us, was the strongest grower 
and most constant performer in this class. Next in line I 
would choose either Robert Burns or Vienna Woods. Both 
were good. At times Milford will surprise you by producing 
some very large flowers. It is the lightest in color in this 
group. 
PURPLE 
Another new variety of much promise and one that is 
distinctly different is Mrs. Marks Memory. The color is 
very unusual and the spike is very graceful. King Lear, with 
its rich, lustrous color and nice ruffling made a hit with 
many that saw it. The older Charles Dickens is still perform- 
ing very fine. 
RED 
In Algonquin, Palmer has given us a very fine red, and it 
may be an improvement on his fine variety, Regent. Master 
Myron gets much praise and is said to have commercial 
possibilities. American Commander produced the show spikes, 
as did Black Opal and Rewi Fallu. KING’S RANSOM 
SCARLET 
New scarlets are coming along very well. Two showing much promise are Mercury and 
Liberator. The first, winner of the American Home Achievement Medal is a mellow, yet bril- 
liant, light red, and the latter a bricky, orange-scarlet. The older Flaming Meteor is not to be 
overlooked, nor are Tunias Triumph and Valeria. For the unusual try Beacon. 
ROSE-RED 
We liked Leona very much and its habits appear to be good. Those that like varieties of 
this color should try it. Red Giant again produced flower spikes of giant proportions. 
SMOKY 
For those that like the odd colors of smoky varieties, I recommend Vagabond Prince, a stately 
garnet-brown, Zuni, a soft blend of rose and slate, Changeable Silk, a unique light silvery rose 
and the late-flowering Bagdad as a worthy foursome for your garden.
