*%x*xx*% (Large Dec.) (Very early) Color is orange shading 
Lantana through orange salmon to a golden chYOaES a new and 
very beautiful color. Opens 7 to 9 large well placed blooms on a medium height 
plant. The one fault of this variety is that it is a little inclined to be on the short 
side but it makes such a large, beautiful head and opens and ships so well that it 
is bound to become popular. 
Lidice *&*&k*% (Large Dec.) (Late mid-season) Beautiful clear ruffled 
Sion niet nae ; cream. 6 to 8 large blooms on a tall straight stem and 
always straight spike. Flowers are large and fine. Sure you will like it. 
* **&k*% (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Light soft creamy 
Magnolia rose that sometimes but not always streaks in 
warm weather. Usually is a beautiful clean, chaste color. Blooms are large and 
round and the Beeae. roll back. 6 to 8 open on a strong spike. Somewhat similar to 
Ethel Cave-Cole and though not so early I consider it fully as good. Color is a 
little more rosy than Ethel Cave-Cole. 
M alta *k**4 (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Beautiful begonia rose. Sister 
atlespeceries ead Uy seedling of Corona and quite similar to that variety except 
in color and with Corona’s good qualities of growth, habits and propagation. 6-7 
very large Picardy type blooms on a tall straight spike with about 16 total buds. 
Most unusual strength and vigor. Malta will become very popular for exhibition, 
the home garden and for cut flowers. Gives much vigor and size to its seedlings. 
* *&%&%*%’% (Large For.) (Mid-season) Light’ buff sometimes 
Marimba tinged pink and with a modified Picardy feather. 
Always opens 8 well placed blooms and sometimes more on a very long head. Grows 
to 6 feet and sometimes taller. Stems are slender but strong. A fine variety for 
exhibition and other purposes. Sells well in our shop. If you like the very tall husky 
plants with long flower heads and large well placed blooms you surely want Ma- 
rimba. The color is good though not quite so clear and beautiful as Barcarole but 
makes twice the growth. My small bulbs are more or less mixed with Mermaid so 
I am giving extra count on those. 
$ kk *&Y% (Med. Dec.) (Early) Beautiful light creamy salmon 
Maytime with cream throat. Good commercial and in its sea- 
son which is two weeks or more before Picardy it is the best pink in my fields. Large 
southern growers who buy thousands of them say it does as well with them as 
Picardy and of course is much earlier. 
* *%%*&%*% (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) True medium pink 
Mermaid with cream blotch. Opens 8-10 large lightly waved 
blooms on a long head with most of remaining buds showing color. Like its sister 
seedlings Marimba and Trylon and others that come from the Maid of Orleans 
and Picardy cross it is very tall and needs to be planted deep. Just the color that 
florists have been wanting. 6 feet or over with long heads. Big massive plant. 
Minstrel New introduction. See page 9. 
k*w&*% (Large Dec.) (Early) Smoky salmon with soft 
Muskoka diffused darker blotch. 6-7 large wide open always 
well placed blooms with about 18 total buds. Tall, strong and always straight. A 
good propagator. Blooms in 65-70 days. Its earliness along with its good color and 
free growing habits should make it valuable as a commercial. We use lots of them 
in our flower shop. 
Penzance *%&%&% 1% (Large For.) (Mid-season) Smoky dark red with 
re ee darker blotch. Resembles Vagabond Prince some- 
what in color but is darker, more smoky, more’ blooms open and more formal, but 
is on the short side. Opens 8-10 flat wide open, perfectly placed blooms. Stock 
is very limited.
