DESCRIPTIVE LIST 1942 
The description of the varieties that follow Bancroft Winsor (Winsor) (LF). Light or- 
are as accurate as I am able to give. Differ- ange. Pau spikes with well placed florets. 
ent types of soil and different climatie con- Slightly ruffled. (L. $2.50; M. $1.50; S. 
ditions will cause many varieties to vary con- 
siderably in shade and in spike length. I do 
not give days to bloom as this will vary with 
soils and seasons. Early and late varieties 
are so designated; all others are mid-season. 
Major faults in a variety are mentioned, 
while in most cases, miior faults are over- 
looked if it does not detract from the beauty 
of the spike.
