FROM BEATRICE L. PALMER 
Manchu (Pfitzer’s Triumph x Golden Dream) x (Picardy x Commander Koehl) — 
(Med. Dec.) <A soft apricot yellow overlaid with a flush of pink and a 
small vivid geranium red blotch. Medium size blooms of butterfly type, nicely spaced, on 
a tall straight wiry stem. 6-8 open out of an 18—20 total. Petals are delicately waved and © 
crisp in texture with long lasting quality. Excellent for all cut flower purposes. 
The above is the originators description. Personally I should consider the yellow more 
of a bright yellow and the blotch is very vivid and the two colors are very contrasting. The 
blooms are not always perfectly placed but the backside of the blooms are as bright and 
pretty as the front. They are beautiful anyway you look at them. The stem is very tall and 
willowy. This should make a grand basket variety. Though Miss Palmer calls this medium 
size I am sure the blooms often reach the large size or over 414 inches. 
$2.00 each for any size. No bulblets. 
FROM R. H. PRUITT AND SON 
Babs (Med. Form) Very early heavily ruffled yellow with slight lines in the throat. 
Grows medium height and opens 6-8 beautiful blooms on a medium height 
plant. We have sold lots of blooms in our flower shop. It makes up beautifully in floral 
work. Its beauty along with its extreme earliness should make this a popular commercial 
yellow. 
$1.00 each for any size. No bulblets. 
FROM «A. T.oRILEY, NEW YORK, 
Pi uante (Seedling 146) (Picardy x Coronation) (85-90 days) Medium size 
riquante decorative or informal. A clear pinky primrose yellow or very pale buff 
—slightly ruffled. Good placement—fine substance. Opens 7—8 at a time when cut in bud and 
opens to the tip in nice shape. 18—20 total buds. Strong, tall, straight stem up to 5 feet. Re- 
ceived the following Awards from the Empire State Glad Society: . 
1940—Honorable Mention 
1941—Award of Commendation 
1944—Award of Merit 
A good propagator but needs large bulbs to produce best blooms. 
It is called medium size which means under 414 inches but I have seen blooms much 
larger than that. A very good late bloomer as it stands freezing better than most varieties. 
Mr. Riley writes that a frost on September 19th killed everything in the field except this 
one which kept right on blooming. A very pretty variety well worth growing. At the price 
you can’t go wrong. See cut of 1 doz. spikes on page 32. 
Price, 50 cents each any size or 10 for $4.00. No bulblets. 
FROM HAROLD E. WILSON 
Dover (Large Dec.) This is a white sport of Laddie. Just the same as Laddie with | 
“=.= all that variety’s good qualities except that it is a cream white. Makes won- 
derful spikes. I consider Laddie one of the very best pink varieties on the market so Dover 
should become as popular in the white section as Laddie is in the pink. 
$1.00 each for any size bulb. No bulblets.
