OUR TWO RELEASES FOR 1945 
NANETTE (Scheer’s) Picardy X (Minuet x Mrs. Sisson Seedling) 
In 1941 this beautiful seedling was given to us for trial and when show 
time arrived we had a beautiful spike to take to the Midwest Show where 
it received the following awards: First in its color class seedling; champion 
decorative seedling for which it received a Rosette ribbon and a silver medal; 
The same year it won several awards in the open class at other shows. 
This year Mr. Wyman received an award of merit on it at the N.E.GS. 
show at Boston. 
NANETTE is a beautiful light rose pink with a white throat and a 
fine delicate ruffled edge. 5-7 wide open well attached blooms open at once 
with 5 showing color; 18-22 buds on a 26 inch flowerhead. Spikes are tall, 
strong and straight, the four years we have grown it, it has never produced 
a crooked spike. It is a fair producer of bulblets which germinate well and 
will bloom from bulblets. We believe this will make a good cut flower as 
we sell all we can raise. 
Price any size bulb $10.00 One bulblet $1.00 each. 
ASPASIA (Pronounced As-pa-she-a) — (Scheers) — (Maid of Orleans & Picardy) 
We believe this glad will make a real commercial with all the vigor and 
growth of White Gold of which it is a true sister seedling. A real apple blos- 
som pink with a creamy white throat and yellow lip similar to White Gold. 
A tall, strong straight spike which for us has never produced a crooked spike 
for the many years we have grown it. The florets are wide open, well attached 
to spike. 5-5% inch blooms, 5-7 open 5 showing color, with 18 buds; grows 
about 60 inches tall. Foliage green and healthy. Good producer of bulblets, 
good germinater and like White Gold will bloom from bulblets. Like White 
Gold it will need a large bulb to give a large bloom. | 
This seedling has never been shown, but because of its vigor and good 
growing habits, and the tremendous sale of the blooms we had, we decided 
to introduce it to the public. 
Price any size bulb $7.50 Bulblet $.75 each. 
We are so pleased with the performance of these two seedlings through 
the years we have tested them, that we have persuaded Dr. George Scheer, 
noted Hybridist to sell us the entire stock of these, so that we might pass 
them on to other flower lovers.
