1945 KRUEGER INTRODUCTIONS 
DREAM GIRL (Krueger ’45) formerly seedling No. 455-10. 
A light rose pink for the exhibitor and fancier. 
Championship class radiated from the first bloom of Dream Girl in 1938, and 
it has continued the production of exhibition spikes ever since. The only two 
spikes placed in competition each won a seedling (one spike) championship, 
Illinois, and Wisconsin, 1944. 
Dream Girl is of a beautiful light rose color with a harmonizing small rose 
blotch of deeper hue. It produces 25” or better flowerheads which carry 6 to 8 
open florets of 5” size. 
Dream Girl, derived from Solveig and Bob White, blooms in mid-late season. 
Its plants are tall and vigorous. It produces bulblets sparingly, but they germinate 
satisfactorily. 
The cut is made from a photo of a medium bulb spike. 
Price $5.00 for each small bulb. No other size, nor bulblets will be sold 
this year. 
EXCLUSIVE (Krueger ’45) formerly seedling No. 452-11. 
Perhaps the biggest news in the mid-west is the announcement of the intro- 
duction of the creamy white blotched rose Solveig seedling, displayed non-com- 
petitively at Lake Geneva and La Porte in ’42; Garfield Park, Momence and 
Milwaukee in ’44, and competitively at the Midwest show in 1943 where it won 
the single spike seedling championship. 
Pressure of growers and fans, coupled with its excellent performance during 
the past hot and dry season, and its enthusiastic acceptance by florists for 
exclusive work, were the factors that contributed to the decision to introduce 
Exclusive to the glad world. 
Exclusive grows to better than average height. It is healthy of bulb and plant 
and propagates rapidly. Medium and large bulb speciments produce spikes of 
60 inch height. The flowerheads attain a length of 24 inches and open 4 to 5 six 
inch ruffled creamy white florets that open as flat as is possible. Exclusive blooms 
in mid-season. Due to the bulk of its color area and size it should easily be a 
winner on the show table. It should be cut with one or two open florets. 
The huge florets of Exclusive strain their attachment, hence it cannot be 
recommended as a glad for distant shippers. It produces 5% crooked spikes and 
another 5% of the spikes misplace florets. 
Price each—L - $4.00; Med.-$3.00; Sm. - $2.00. 
Bulblets, one for 40c; ten for $3.00 
1945 GRAFF INTRODUCTIONS 
RED RASCAL (Graff ’45). 
This ruffled red seedling performed so satisfactorily in my garden that I 
requested permission to share in its introduction. It produced such splendid flower- 
heads in the adverse growing conditions of the past summer, and opened so well 
in water that it holds real promise of greatness. Red Rascal blooms in mid-season 
on plants of 55” height with flowerheads of 26” length which carry 19 buds, of 
which 7 large, heavy substanced florets of 54%” diameter open at one time. The 
color is a medium red (Red 3-4). Those who remember Kunderd’s Thos. A. Edison 
can easily visualize Red Rascal. 
Price—$5.00 for each L., Med., or Small bulb. 
Bulblets only sold to bulb purchasers at 10 for $5.00.
