Dream Castle (1943) 
In 1942 Minnesota had the N. E. G. S. Regional Show. Many good 
seedlings from different sources were competing for the top seedling award. 
Seven judges scored the final selections, scoring DREAM CASTLE 90 plus. 
This high score won for it the AMERICAN HOME ACHIEVEMENT 
MEDAL, plus the CHAMPION SEEDLING AWARD; also was given a FIRST 
CLASS CERTIFICATE. 
Now these things don’t just happen by accident. This is a fine variety 
and in its class is outstanding from point of beauty and performance. 
The color is a warm light coral, blending to lighter heart, with several 
light green dots deep in the flower which add to its beauty. 
The ruffled florets are perfectly attached and placed on always straight 
precise spikes. Am not sure whether to classify this as a medium decorative 
or exhibition. Opens 6 or 8 beautiful florets with plenty bud color. Flower 
spike can be easily snapped out without injury to the plant. Late mid-season 
bloomer and good propagator. Was “BEST RECENT INTRODUCTION”

Financee (1943) 
This is an enlarged version of that beautiful variety Sweetheart. Has 
the same large conspicuous white throat blending to pale pink on the outer 
border of the petals, but the flowers are 5 to 6 inches across. A beautiful 
variety that will repay a little extra attention. Healthy and a good propa- 
gator. Large decorative type. Early Mid-season.

Kenwood (1943) 
This is an absolute pure red. Has no blotch or mark of any kind. 
Usually builds a tall straight spike with good flower head opening five 51%” 
plain petaled florets. Although I’ve grown this quite a few years without 
noticing any crooks, the 1943 season, for some reason or other, oroduced 
some crooks. 
Spikes cut in tight bud with just a little color showing open up very 
well in water. Plants and bulbs are healthy and it is a good propagator. 
Large decorative type. Blooms in 95 - 100 days. Have reports from dif- 
ferent people stating they consider KENWOOD a very good red.

Marqueeta (1943) 
This was introduced in 1943 as Conchita. If you have this variety please 
change your records to MARQUEETA. Name was changed to avoid con- 
fusion with another variety. 
Builds a tall spike with good flower head opening around 6 florets 5 to 
6 inches across, are ruffled and of beautiful form. The color is unflecked 
light orange,, blending to lighter throat, overlaid with small orange red 
blotch. Makes sound healthy bulbs and plants and is a good propagator. 
For me this is an all around good variety. Makes good spikes from all
