YELLOW— 12 Series 
AMBERGLOW 77 *—jt Dec. Soft, but 
brilliant, clear unmarked amber yellow. 
Its color value at once removes it from the 
commonplace. Its good points far outrank 
the occasional crooking in extreme hot 
weather. We won with it at Ohio and Wisc., 
’41. At latter show our 3 spike entry drew 
the attention of all. Other wins noted 
at Ohio, Ind., and Wash., ’41. L .10 M .07

JIM HOLLAND (Both) 110 *—ttt Dec. 
Com. The color of this new sport of 
Betty Nuthall with us is definitely clear 
light yellow with the regular Betty 
Nuthall throat scratches. The color is 
much closer to true yellow than that of 
Betsy Bob Up and entirely lacks the pink 
combination of the latter. The clarity of 
yellow color, coupled with Nuthall growth 
and propagation habits are bound to 
point this new glad into show and com- 
mercial paths. Judged ‘Best Australian

SIR GALAHAD (Salbach) 95 **+7{ Exh. 
Patented. Soft, rich, clear creamy yellow 
with a diamond shaped blotch of rich 
crimson, in beautiful contrast. Words fail 
us to describe its unusual beauty. Six 
6 inch florets wide open, a bit recurved, 
18 bud. Tall, strong spikes with long 
flowerhead. Patent restrictions same as 
specified in description of Golden Goddess. 
Our Ist, S. E. Mich., ’40. In ’41 it won at 
Ohio, Ind., SW. Va., and East Bay. Also 
for us at Mich. and Wisc., where our 3 
spikes almost without doubt attracted 
more interest than any other entry in the 
show. Judging from the great interest 
shown by visitors to our fields, this will 
be one of our ‘‘best sellers.’’ See patent 
collection prices at end of variety list.

BUFF— 16 Series 
AMULET 93 *—ft Dec. Clear capucine 
orange buff. Heavily ruffled. Has a peachy 
tone not found in Wasaga. Both Amrita 
and Amulet are Picardy X Wasaga crosses, 
probably from the same pod. We feel 
certain that Amulet is the more desirable 
of the two. A.M., C.G.S.,’36, A.M. Metro.,

DONNA (Pruitt) 70—f{ Dec: Com. Golden 
buff, well ruffled. Color much as Wasaga 
but much stretchier spikes, taller, with 
more open.  FEarliness, good growing 
habits and free bloom from small sizes 
warrant your serious consideration. We 
broke the ice for this new one, winning at 
S. E. Mich., ’40. Firsts at Wisc. and Grants 
Pass and we won with it again at the 2nd 
Ohio show, all’41. First year at reasonable 
price. L .20 M .15 S .10 Blts (100, 2.00).
