Seedling of Orange Butterfly and similar in type to that variety except in color.

small variety. See cut on page 26.

Oo arita shading to golden throat. Opens 8 large blooms of 
heavy substance on a gue head of 20-28 buds with several more showing color. 
Blooms are plain petaled but slightly fluted. A very strong healthy grower with 
dark green foliage. A good propagator. Grows enormously tall with an always 
straight stem. This past season I had Ogarita 7 foot tall with a flower head 45 
inches long and many of them over 6 feet. A wonderful exhibition variety and one 
that will attract attention in any garden.

Pandora %%&*&*& «(BEATRICE L. PALMER) (Medium For.) (Mid-sea- 
oe ba. Sot ration eee son) Clear soft geranium pink with inconspicuous 
lines in the throat. 8 to 10 round medium size blooms open on a medium height 
spike. A very beautiful and free blooming variety. Ideal for cut flower work and a 
good shipper. As soon as stock is available this is bound to become very popular 
among the cut flower growers. One of the best for the home garden also. 
**&x*% (Tosin) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Soft melt- 
Paula Ann ing ruffled rose of a beautiful clean warm shade. 
Opens 8, 5 inch blooms on a spike of 18 buds. 4 feet tall, always straight stem.

with an eye for the beautiful will certainly like it. 
Paul Revere New introduction. See page 16. 
a *&%&* (STEWART) (Med. Dec.) (Late 
Phyllis McQuiston mid-season) Glowing rosy shrimp 
pink shading lighter toward the center. Good color, placement not always perfect 
but a nice variety and well worth growing just the same. 
Pillar of Fire KKK * «6 (FISCHER-BAERMAN) (Medium For.) 
(Late) Deep fiery red of intense glistening 
shade. Opens 9 to 10 or more plain petaled, 4 to 5 inch blooms, on a spike of 18 to 
22 buds, nearly all of which show color at one time. Blooms are round and set well 
apart. This makes the spike appear more massive than the actual size of the bloom 
would warrant. Grows 41/4 to 5 feet tall with an always straight, stiff, wiry stem. 
The foliage is dark green with touches of dark red which gives the plant a beauti- 
ful appearance. Doesn’t propagate so fast as we would like so am not selling bulb- 
lets. This variety is bound to become very popular as soon as I can work up a 
stock of it. See cut on inside front cover. 
4 %*& %&%*%% (CASSEBEER) (Medium For.) (Mid-sea- 
Pink Para Eh son commercial) Bright, clear, pure pink 
with inconspicuous cream throat and median lines. Opens 5 to 7 with 18 to 24 total 
buds. Grows tall and always straight. The only fault of this variety is that we 
haven’t thought it was quite large enough but I had some this past season that 
were really fine. Commercial growers in Florida have tried it out and found it was 
just the color they want. Not much stock available yet but I think it will be a 
good seller as soon as there is stock enough.
