ess terra = _ sation amusinattanthettd B tiful lavender with creamy white throat, medium 
height. 5 blooms open with a total of about 17 buds. A fine lavender variety that has be- 
come very popular in the last two or three years. Good show flower and fine commercial. 
*w&*&x*’ (Stockton) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) A lively bright pink 
Barbara overlaid with darker pink giving it a two-tone effect which 
at first you may not like but which grows on you. The public like this very much and it 
makes a fine florist’s variety. Tall, straight, slender stems. 6—7 five inch blooms open. Think 
you will like this. 
%%&%*%% «(HeEDGECocK) (Med. For.) (Late mid-season) 
Barbara Jane Light rosy lilac with creamy undertone and a small 
fuschia purple blotch. Opens 8 well placed 414-5 inch blooms on a very tall slender, wiry 
stem. Fine show flower and will make a good commercial as soon as stock is available. 
Produces lots of bulblets which do not germinate too well, probably around 50 to 60%. 
Kk*&*% «(PFITZER) (Med. Dec.) Light blue with darker blotch. 
Bella Donna About the best early commercial light blue. 
Bengasi wkkwK*w (Cave) (Giant For.) (Mid-season) Opens up to 8-9 large 
sroredtaetiratect — nected beautifully ruffled blooms of a fine clean pink with white 
throat. Has a few inconspicuous lines on the lip. I have not grown this myself but haveseen 
it at several shows and it looks very nice. The originator says it is the best variety he has 
ever handled. Am offering only a few small bulbs this season. See cut page 6. 
Bernece ww (Gray) (Med. Dec.) (Very early) Deep golden yellow flaked 
one Ng Lae healt? with orange giving it the appearance of bronze. 5 medium 
large somewhat ruffled blooms open on a medium height plant. This is not an ideal shipping 
variety though J have shipped many of them to the large markets and the wholesalers called 
for more. It is a beautiful thing for early use and makes up very fine in floral work. Fine 
autumn color also. We use a great many in our flower shop. 
Bi To **&*&* = «(RicH) (Giant Dec.) (Mid-season) Light pink with small 
big sop carmine feather in the throat. Tall strong grower. Long flower 
head and very large blooms. A fine propagator and all in all I think a very fine variety for 
any purpose. ; 
¢ 9 kK «(CRow) (Med. Dec.) (Late mid-season) Very nice 
Bit o’ Heaven orange with yellow throat. Opens 9-12 medium size 
blooms on a tall, straight plant. One of the best commercial oranges. Was especially good 
this past season and a good seller in the cut flower market. . . 
kek «6 (ERREY) «(Large For.) (Mid-season) Dark glistening 
Black Opal red. Opens up to 10 medium large well placed blooms on 
a tall spike. A fine dark variety that is in very big demand and grows more popular every 
year. The best exhibition dark red. 
kK * «=6C(BAERMAN) (Large For.) (Mid-season) 
Blessed Damosel Wonderful glowing pink. Somewhat lighter 
than New Era of which it is a seedling and with a much waxier texture. Large round blooms 
that are lightly but beautifully ruffled and waved. When it becomes more plentiful you will 
see it winning many prizes in exhibition. One of the most beautiful pinks I know of. The 
cut on page 16 does not begin to do it justice. Fine propagator. | 
4 IK % «=«6(CuRistT) (Med. Dec.) (Mid-season) Medium dark 
Blue Admiral blue. Opens 5-6 at a time. Medium tall, straight 
stem. Not a fast propagator and so always scarce but always in big demand. The best dark 
blue I know of. ; 
Blue Beauty **** (@rmven) Carge Dec.) (Early) Medium blue shad- 
“nin prtatinal me taceitenard A ing darker toward the edges. Large, wide open blooms, 
tall strong grower. Best medium blue on the market. Makes a grand spike. Stock is always 
scarce as it is rather a slow propagator. 
Blue Wonder kw (Born) (Med. For.) (Mid-season) A fine light 
 paviee Sembee a! hE aaealeeaet ee ane thnendl blue. It is grand for exhibition and the home gar- 
den but sometimes is inclined to crook though I haven’t had much trouble with it here. One 
of the most popular blues. .
