will open up to 10 big florets at oncee Strong grower 
and makes fine show spike although the color is a little 
“dirty"--In spite of that I recommend it. In 106 class.

GARDENIA--Geoe Scheere One of his first introductions 
and while a 43" floret and more a true cream than White 
Gold, it is a simply grand commercial and a 3-spike at 
Wisconsin won over a 3-spike of White Gold without crit- 
icisme Opens to 8-9 and is a stead fast grower you can 
always count one A basket of these is wonderfule A 
favorite of mine although the glamorous White Gold over- 
shadows it.

YELLOW---=-LABURNUM--a 1943 introduction of Je Re Almeyse This is 
the big yellow that was seedling champion at ifidwest, 
1942, and seedling winner at Winnepeg in 1940. A 6" 
floret, 7 to 9 open, strong growing, big yellowe Color 
is fine and clean but sometimes the edges are bordered 
with pink. Out of 24 large bulbs last year, 6 were 
show pikes and the others did things--ring around rosey 
and crooks, etce--but exceptional rain last year in 
month of June made performance questionablee I have 
grown lots of seedlings for Mr. Almey and no other va- 
riety ever crooks--so believe this one does not--though 
have to wait to grow again to find oute A true beauty 
and introduced this year by Mre Almeye Have only a few 
to offer this seasone Shows in 110 classe No competi- 
tion. Except,maybe, from Golden Galleon 
Any size bulb, $3.00 
ROYAL GOLD--Pfitzer, best of all yellows to date and al- 
most sure winner in 210 classe Opens 8 or so--lovely 
color-- 4" to 43" florets, nice performer and keeps 
well. Deeper yellow than GOLDEN CHIMES--and better 
spike than GOLDEN GODDESS although COLDEN GODDESS may 
have more opene Is not ruffled.

RUFFLED BEAUTY--about as good as Royal Gold. Toss up 
as to which is best--florets more ruffled and altogether 
a grand yellow. Have never grown it tops but always 
have a feeling you might get 8 open when it would win 
sure-=5 to 6 open is what I have hades 210 classe

ORANGE----RIO RITA. Ee He Linse My special pet--most beautiful 
orange--which, with Diane and Barcarole will dominate 
any orange classe Rio Rite is strong growing, depend- 
able performer with very beautiful florets, a whitish 
orange with deep orange to scarlet in center--a lovely 
combinatione Ruffling is excellent. Florets 53"-- 
opens up to 8 or so=--and is one of the lovliest of all 
gladse Everybody should growe I look forward with cm-= 
siderable excitement to see it open each yeare An ad- 
venture in glad growing and one of 5 most beautiful of 
all glads in my garden.

DIANE=-Walter Kreuger, is the plain petalled, white 
centered running mate of Rio Ritae Not to be compared 
as Rio has light petals with darker heart and is heavily 
ruffled and Diane has deep, pure, clean orange plain 
petals with a bright white heart. Florets up to 53"-- 
opens up to 9-e A handsome spikee Has never met Rio on 
any show table yet but I pity the judges when they do. 
Radically different, they come in same color and size

BARCAROLE=-While Rio Rita and Diane are "teacher's 
pets" with me, yet this one does not take a back seat 
to eithere Is one lovely, grand orange and the price 
is downe I rate it right up the leaders at 82. Good 
performer and a pleasure to growe Consistent show 
winner for yearse

LIGHT SALMON SUE ELLEN--lrank Thomase Am introducing although 
very few bulbs available, but have won with it consist- 
ently for two years and it was Wisconsin seedling 
chempion in 1940. Makes few bulblets except from small 
bulbse Will never be a commercial but equisite beauty 
of flower puts it near the top. Heavily ruffled-- 
florets to 53"--opens up to 8, nice height and depend- 
ablee Practically every bulb makes good exhibition 
spike. Half the price goes to Mr. Thomase Hope no 


bulbs are sold but am listing as it is a grand flower 
that should win on showtable for many yearse Will 
sell only a very few bulbs.

NOWETA by Carl Fischer who has discarded the variety 
and, he says, no longer grows it or remembers it 
clearly. It is much like Conquest--a combination of 
lemon yellow and light salmon--and to me it appeared to 
have one of the lovliest of all florets. In 1942 it 
performed terribly and had no spikes I could exhibite 
Only a gambler should buy it for if its own hybridiser 
disowns it it must be far from goode It seems strange 
for me to offer it--but I am--at a low price because I 
still have hopese

CONQUEST=-lovely combination of lemon yellow and light 
salmon by Grant Mitsche This is one of 15 most lovely

table if you have a good spikes In either 1 or 3 spikes
