D iscovery lighty yellow. Sometimes flushed pink and with a small 
bright red star in the throat. Opens 5-6 large blooms at a time. Very beautiful. Have had 
fine reports on it. See cut on page 22.

WW 4 %k& Kw *% =«(RitEy) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Clear yellow- 
Dr. hiteley ish apricot with golden throat. Opens up to 7 large 
well placed blooms. Tall straight plant and good propagator. One of the best of the newer 
varieties that will make good for commercial and exhibition uses. 
KKK «= (Jack) (Med. Dec.) (Early) Medium rose shading to 
Early Rose darker rose. Very popular two-tone variety. Have had many 
calls for this this season from florists who tried it on a small scale last year. You will like it 
for cut flower work and also for the home garden. Sells fine in our shop. 
* *%%%% (Harper) (Med. Dec.) (Late mid-season) White 
Edith Grace with wine red feathery blotch. Opens 7—8 well placed 
medium size blooms on a tall straight plant. One of the best blotched varieties.

“Lgsantine pink of an unusual shade blending to a cream throat. Large 
wide open beautifully ruffled blooms with 8-10 open and several showing color. Medium

Elizab eth the Queen Kk kk fae, (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) 
rasan eebeshnatnae Sor tnt Net Suctirimta tw Srsaasiees taser eautiful clear mauve with darker 
lines in the throat. Large beautifully ruffled, fine form and opens 7-8 at a time. A very beau- 
tiful and distinct variety and a great show winner. Its main fault is that sometimes under 
improper conditions it doesn’t get quite so tall as I would like though many people have 
written me that it grew plenty tall for them. Will make a beautiful commercial where ex- 
treme length of stem is not necessary. The most beautiful lavender I have seen unless it is 
Minstrel and it is a different shade from that variety. One of the best sellers. Also very val- 
uable for breeding. 
« kk &%* = «=(HatrcH) (Giant For.) (Early mid-season) Cream 
F air Angel white shading deeper cream in the throat. Opens up to 
8 large, round somewhat wavy 6 inch blooms with several more showing color. 4-41 feet 
tall. A beautiful variety that I believe can beat any cream white variety I know of for exhi- 
bition. It is also a first class cut flower variety as it opens well in water. 
b Kk *&*&* «(ButTr) (Med. Dec.) (Mid-season) Medium red, slightly 
Firebrand darker in the throat with white lines on lower petals. 
Very straight, stiff spike 4% feet tall. Opens 8 on a long head. The large buds are very 
decorative and the blooms are very tightly fastened to the stem. Makes a very fine spike of 
bloom. Looks like one of the best of the new reds. 
Fla shi kk *% «(Burr) (Large For.) (Mid-season) Light red with whitish 
& p throat markings and penciled bluish smoke. 10-12 large well 
placed blooms open on a tall plant. Fine exhibition variety. Should be well liked by those 
who want the big formal spikes. 
Flying Fortress wk k& kw = (Witson) (Giant For.) (Late Mid-season) 
Light smoky gray with an enormous head of 
bloom. Up to 12 very large blooms open on a spike of 5 feet or better. Broad even foliage. 
A smoky to end all smokies. Wonderful show flower. Am sure you will like it. 
Fort Ti *K*&*'% (WEBSTER) (Giant Dec.) (Mid-season) Clear light pink. Some- 
é _ times lightly flecked around the edge. The flecking in this variety 
seems to brighten it up instead of spoiling it as flecking usually does on a pink variety. 
Opens 6-8 on a tall spike. Very tall strong grower. Opens perfectly in water retaining its 
color and most of its size to the very tip. A really imposing variety. 
ww #w&* (WHEELER) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Clear rich’ 
Golden State yellow with a well placed double row of blooms that 
approach Picardy in size. Tall straight grower with 10 or more open on a long head. A great 
show winner and looks as though it might make a good commercial.
