ww *&* «(Large For.) (Mid-season) Most vivid, gorgeous scarlet. Opens 
Rocket —8 or more medium large perfectly placed blooms. One of the 
very finest reds but sometimes a little on the short side though I have had almost no 
complaints in this respect. Some think this is the best scarlet. It is a toss up between this 
and Algonquin, though they are not alike except nearly so in color. 
Sahara kK «Med. For.) (Late mid-season) Light russet with soft cream 
: blotch in throat, lightly peppered darker russet with. scarlet 
penciling. Up to 10 medium large well placed blooms open on a tall, straight spike. Very 
nena color and fast becoming popular. Will not wilt in the hottest sun. Feel sure you will 
ike it. 
(Formerly seedling 35217) + %&%% (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) A 
Snowbank beautiful ruffled white with 
light creamy throat. Opens 6—7 very beautiful blooms at a time.. Have had many fine reports 
on this so this year decided to name it. A sister seedling of Snow White and surely as good 
if not better. Some say it is the finest commercial white they have seen. 
Snow White A very fine ruffled white but I am holding stock for increase. 
z kk % «=6(Large Dec.) (Early Mid-season) Clear medium deep yel- 
Spotlight low with small scarlet blotch. Blooms are large, mildly 
waved and well arranged on tall straight spikes that get up to 5% feet or more. Opens 6—7 
on a long head. Though this yellow has the blotch and so is in a different class from the 
clear yellows I believe it will become more popular than any clear yellow I know of. Fine 
propagator and very easily grown and free bloomer. One that you must have if interested 
in yellows. See cut front cover. 
Titan *& %*&%*&* «(Giant For.) (Mid-season) Huge dark though brilliant salmon 
‘bao! Sov ettareasto with many blooms open. A wonderful exhibition variety and fine 
cut flower. We couldn’t begin to supply the demand in our shop last season. Am withholding 
bulblets and small bulbs for increase. 
Winston *% %&%&% ~=«(Large Dec.) (Early) Clear bright cream white shading to 
Jl tn doe el arent lemon throat. 5-6 large, wide open, beautifully waved and 
ruffled blooms on a fairly tall straight spike. A most wonderfully beautiful variety that 
looks as if it were carved from marble. For sheer beauty the finest of the creams. See cut on 
page 22. 
New Introductions for 1945 
FROM RALPH BAERMAN 
(Maid of Orleans x Irak) .(Giant For.) A huge white variety that grows 
Carrara 5% feet and taller and opens up to 8 well placed florets at a time. Color 
is a creamy white with slight inconspicuous lines in the throat. This is a very big strong 
growing husky variety that should be fine for either exhibition or commercial uses. We sold 
a lot of them in our flower shop this past season where they were very popular. In cutting 
flowers for shipping to market we saved Carrara for our own use as they were the best 
white in the field. 
$2.00 each for any size. No bulblets. 
Lorna Doone (Picardy x Tip Top) (Giant Informal) A huge salmon pink 
eee ee WH Creamy throat: Plant‘reaches 6:feet.and over. Opens 6 or 
more beautiful blooms with a total of 15-16 buds. I had these grown by my western grower 
this past season who writes that it is one of the very best things he has seen. A gorgeous 
flower. Blooms late when most other varieties of this color have gone by. 
$2.00 each for any size. No bulblets. 
FROM RAY S. FUNK—RALPH ROONEY 
Abnaki (Wasaga x Camono) A vivid orange that will not burn in the hottest sun 
and wilts very little. Most orange colored flowers of many species do sun- 
burn but Abnaki is an exception. This is a large decorative that opens up 5—6 well arranged 
blooms on a plant of about 4% feet. Very good grower and propagator, plain petaled. This 
variety has been grown by Ralph Rooney of Oregon for several years and he has sold blooms 
to the florists in Portland who liked it very much. I think it will become a very popular 
orange either for the early mid-season trade or for fall decorative work, 
$1.00 each for any size. No bulblets.
