“CORONA is one of the finest of the Palmer originations. To me it is equal to 
PICARDY, even surpassing it in some ways. The flowers will hold up 4 days in an or- 
dinary cellar which is a record few glads have.” —|. L. Barnum, Pa.

E es Cave Cole light pink sometimes flaked. Strong 
husky grower and makes a hig spike with 9 to 10 large well placed blooms open on 
a long head. Fine cut flower sort. Makes a grand exhibition spike. 
4 *&k&*&* = (Hatcu) (Large For.) (Early mid-season) 
Fair Angel Cream white aheaing deeper cream in the 
throat. Opens up to 8 large round somewhat ruffled 6 inch blooms at a time with 
several more showing color. 4 to 414 feet tall. A very fine variety either for exhi- 
bition or for cut flowers. It has won numerous prizes including award for the finest 
spike in the show. You surely should try Fair Angel. 
*&*kx*% (Burr) (Large For.) (Mid-season) Light red with 
Flagship whitish throat markings and penciled blue. 10-12 . 
large, well placed blooms open on good height plant. Not so clean a color as I like 
but makes a huge impressive spike of bloom. Has taken a lot of prizes and I believe 
will be popular, especially with those who like the big formal spikes. 
Fort Ti *wk&*&*% (WEBSTER) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Clear light pink. 
eee Sometimes lightly flecked around the edge. The flecking 
in this variety seems to brighten it up instead of spoiling it as flecking usually does 
on a pink variety. Opens 6 to 8 on a tall spike. Very tall strong grower. Opens 
perfect in water retaining its color and most of its size to the very tip. A really 
imposing variety. 
*& %& %&% = =«=(WHEELER) (Exh) A clear rich yellow with 
Golden State florets as large as Picardy, perfectly placed 
in double row formation. Always tall straight grower. Opens 10 to 13 at a time with 
up to 26 buds. I have not grown this variety myself nor ever seen it but have heard 
a lot about it from other growers who have seen it at the shows. In 1943 it won 
Grand Championship at the Milwaukee Show and Ist in the 3 spike class at the 
Milwaukee Journal Harvest Festival. I understand that it will beat any other 
yellow on the show table. The originator says it will make a fine commercial also.
