+4 1 (PFrITzER) (Large Dec.) 
Hindenburg’s Memory ***” {\idseason) Medium 
red. A little lighter than Commander Koehl, and I think a more pleasing color. 
Makes a fine spike of bloom. 
Ieka ww ~(TurrLe) (Large Dec.) (Early) Distinctive smoky gray 
prttw tinh rt ated shading wine red. Large diffused scarlet blotch in center. 
6-8 large blooms open on a tall spike. A distinctive and fine smoky. 
kk ~=©=(Large Dec.) (Late) A clear gray color sport of Bagdad and 
Irak I think more valuable than its parent. Identical with Bag- 
dad except in color tho possibly a little stronger grower. Very beautiful when used 
with yellow or other contrasting shades. 
y < *%&%*&%*&*% «(PRuITT) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Clear rich pink 
Jeanie with white radcits and creamy yellow throat. 4-6 very 
large beautiful blooms open. Very tall, strong growing plant. One of the strongest 
growers from bulblets that I had in my garden last year. A beautiful variety that 
I am sure you will like. | 
4 kk Y% «(AtmMeEy) (Med. For.) (Mid-season) Orangey sal- 
Kildonan mon rose with yellow throat. 8 or more periectly 
placed, beautifully ruffled blooms on a spike of 18 to 20 buds. Good keeper, opening 
well and retaining the color to the tip, a feature in which most ruffled varieties fail. 
Good, tall, strong grower and a heavy propagator. Has won a number of top prizes 
at the shows, including Awards of Merits and Grand Championships. 
s *&*%&*% (ARENIUS) (Large Dec.) (Early) Immense 
King Arthur heavily ruffled lavender or mauve. An‘en- 
tirely different shade from any other variety and very beautiful. Opens 4—5 at a 
time. Fine flower for local florist use but not a shipping variety. Very popular. 
4 4 KI %Y% = (HERRIDGE) (Med. Dec.) (Mid-season). 
King Midas Deep yellow with small red blotch in the 
throat. Opens 7-8 and sometimes up to 10 or more medium sized blooms on a 
medium to tall, straight spike. A good show variety and becoming popular. Petals 
are somewhat rolled and fluted. 
King of Hearts KkKkM an ireien (Large Dec.) CMideeeasen 
ight coral red with a light carmine red 
spot in the throat. Huge blooms often reaching 8 inches in diameter on a long 
flower head. Is vigorous and tall but with me the stem is inclined to be weak. Have 
not heard any other growers mention this. The originator has many fine reports on 
this variety. Patented, so increase cannot be sold. 
Kings Ransom kk pauney) (Large Dec.) (Very early) 
a es enereeky — aeeerepee __, Peach red blending to apricot salmon in 
the throat. A bright color and becoming increasingly popular as a cut flower. Have 
had many calls for this this past season. 
Laddie *k%&*&*& = (HaArRotp Witson) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Light 
pink. A more rosy shade than Picardy. 7 to 10 verv 
large wide open somewhat ruffled blooms. Tall, straight plant with long flower 
head. A fine variety which some growers say they can grow better than Picardy. 
It is larger and always straight and a fine appearing plant. For the shipping cut 
flower teade the large buds stand out and make a fine appearing spike. I like it 
very much.
