CRITERION=--Walter Kreugere I rated this as a good one-= 
decidedly so this year. A straight, honest spike, nice- 
ly ruffled pink. Most beautiful flower=-Wisconsin, 1941. 
Florets 53"--opens up to 8. Can win in 140 classe 
L=--$1.50 M--$1.25 S--¢1.00 bb--#1.00 
DEEP PINK=PHOEBE--Georze Scheere Boy is this towering big 
flowered pink something!’ An adventure to grow--but 
stake it up sure as flower head is big, opens 7 to 9== 
grows very tall--long flowerhead, ruffled, nice colore 
Just a cracker jack deep pink and you will like the way 
' it grows. It genuinely enjoys growinge Hard to beat 
on any show table if you have a good spikeae 142 classe 
L--$2250 M--$2.00 S--$1.50 
PADDY=--Here is a new introduction, 1948 of my own, that 
really belongs to either Miller, Almey, Lins, Fischer or 
Scheer but they all disown it by the number that was on 
the stakee Maybe this year it will be seen on show 
table and rightful owner will claim it. It is a Frank 
McCoy with far prettier florets than McCoy--opening up 
to 12. McCoy opens up to 15 but these florets are 
larger, prettier shape and makes grand ribbon of blooms 
I got quite excited about it but it bloomed after the 
shows so did not show. Named it after my wife but won't 
register for someone hybridized it and I hope to find 
out whoe I grew it as seedling 18-222. Reserved it for 
1944 so oan watch it one more yeare Not for sale this 
yeare 
EGLANTINE=-George Scheere This is famous seedling 166-10 
that won in East and West this year. Have grown for two 
years and had fine spike for Midwest but Scheer had 3 
better spikes and mine went down in the long wait from 
midnight until judging time. Ruffled, lovely color--big 
6" florets--opens I don't know how many--at least 7 and 
Maybe moree Will have chance for top honors if you get 
a good spike in any show. A good addition to this tough 
classe 
L--$15.00 M--$12.00 S--$10.00 bb-=-$1.250 each 
PHYLLIS MCQUISTON--another old timer that can stand up to 
the beste Grow it best you know how and you may win with 
ite I have grown five years and each year look forward 
to its opening upe Nice, deep pink, ruffled, 5" florets+~ 
opens 6 to 7. Try for and get a real good spike and you 
have somethinge 142 classe

RED=-----=-MARCELLAISE=-George Scheere Fine bright colored happy 
red with white fine line in center rib of lower petals. 
Fine grower, tall, florets to 6"=-opens to 8 or 9=-= 
generous with bb. A promising commercial as well as 
exhibition. Plant good 6" apart for best bloom. One 
of best of redse I rate Algonquin ahead of it and yet 
Marcellaise and Regent come close behind=-~a good spike 
of any of the three being hard to beate 152 classe 
L--$1 200 M--$.75 S--$.50 bb-=2=152 
STOPLIGHT=--Ee He Linse A new good scarlet--my 1941 
Illinois grand champione 3 spike. An excellent red-- 
right up there with other best. Good commercial, gen- 
erous with bbe, fine increaser, regular performer, 6" 
florets--opens 7 to 8. Big flowerhead. Lighter in 
color than Algonquin or Marcellaise but not quite light 
enough to get out of the 152 color classe 
L--50¢ Me--35¢ S--25/ 
REWNI FALLU--named after Australian Chief, this fellow 
is 6 to 7 in florets--opens 7 to 8, grows well, strong 
big spike and hard to beat if you have a good one. 
Capable of changing color according to soil and weather 
it is interesting to see what you gete Goes in class 
with the black reds and florets so much bigger it usu- 
ally gets the blue ribbon although other darker ones 
appeal to me as better colore 154 class. 
L--2-15¢ M--2-107 
LIGHT ROSE=-MISS WISCONSIN--Walter Kreuger--1943 brand new ones 
Is big floreted, big spike, many open, fine ribbon of 
bloom in light rose class where it helps strengthen ths 
classe Kreuger calls it a "light cerise rose" whatever 
that ise A winner at Wisconsin where it was champion 
decorative in '42. This and Eglantine are only two 
varieties I list that are not in my ratings as among the 
beste I have not grown this but saw flower at Wisconsin 
--and know Walter Kreuger verywell--judged with him, 
been in his garden and any flower of his is 0. Ke in my
