Presenting for 1945... 
TARAWA—(Goetzger) 
A large purplish wine red semi-cactus with a silver re- 
verse. The blooms, averaging about 12 by 7 inches, are 
held, facing, on fine stems well out of insect resistant 
foliage. Plants are healthy and vigorous and grow to a 
height of about 4 or 5 feet. It is a good propagator. 
Sometimes the small petaloids cause a few of the flowers 
to have deformed centers, but when it comes good, it is 
GOOD. It had to be good to win over Jean Trimbee at 
Chicago. It also won in the open-to-all class at New 
York. It scored 85.1 at Cincinnati, where it was well 
liked by those who saw it. It is on the Mid-West Honor 
Roll. Since the color of this variety is between red and 
purple, it may be entered in either class according to 
how the color is at show time. But regardless in which 
class it will be entered, it is still a worthy new variety 
that can, and will, win for you.

My Last Year's Introductions 
CORAL BLEND 
A miniature formal that is very good for inside deco- 
ration. When grown in open sun the yellow predominates 
and then it is not very attractive, but brought under 
artificial light or grown in shade the pink deepens and 
then you have a true blend of coral pink with citron 
yellow center. It is an excellent keeper and averages 3x2 
inches in size. Scored 85.5 at Storrs. 
Root $3.00 
CREAM PRINCESS 
es 
Pale creamish white slightly overcast citron green which 
deepens at center of petal. This gives the flower a cream 
effect. Collar the same color. Very attractive. I said 
last year that I had broken my policy of introduction by 
introducing this variety without it having scored at any 
trial grounds. Last year it was given retrial at Storrs 
_and East Lansing, but I only sent it back to East Lansing, 
where it scored this past season, thus substantiating my 
policy. 
Root $1.00
