Three New Ones from LaSalle-Arenius 
We have been privileged to help in- 
troduce three new outstanding varieties 
from probably the largest seedling garden 
in the States, that of Mr. Jim LaSalle. He 
standing varieties. As yet it hasn’t been 
our pleasure to grow the three LaSalle 
originations, but have been so highly rec- 
ommended that we are placing a lot of 
.grows three acres of solid seedlings, and | confidence in them and Mr. Arenius’ 
it is quite logical that he has many out- | judgment. 
Topflite 
Considered by ‘both the originator 
and introducer to be about the finest col- 
or they have ever seen in a Glad. Its 
other qualities are equally good, except 
that the stock is very small. A rosy pink, 
self color, fairly deep, but not washed out. 
‘ 
Opens eight 5-in. florets on a wiry stem 
55-in. tail. Double-row placement, mid- 
season and a medium propagator. 
Bulbs, any size, $10.00 ea. No bulb- 
lets. No discount. 
Fabulous 
A deep pink with a double half-circle 
blotch—different. The inner blotch is a 
bright cherry-red, separated from the 
pink by a light cream half-moon. Opens 
six 5-in. florets on a strong stem 60 inches 
tall. It has a double-row placement, a 
mid-season bloomer, and good propagator, 
straight grower and a very fine cutter. 
It’s entirely different and you will like it. 
Bulbs, any size, $5.00 ea. No bulblets. 
No Discount. 
Pink Charm 
A pink which Mr. LaSalle aptly calls 
his “waxy pink.” This variety will go 
places as it is early and a very good 
propagator. A solid medium deep pink 
with a decided waxy appearance. Color 
darkens very deep in the throat. Opens 
six 5%-in. florets on a 50-in. spike and 
never crooks. It is also a double-row 
placement. This has the qualifications for 
a good commercial. 
Bulbs, any size, $5.00 ea. No bulblets. 
No Discount. 
Peggy (West-Arenius) 
Peggy is a seedling from Roy West, 
named in memory of his wife who for 
years had been growing seedlings. Most 
everyone is looking for the good cut 
flower lavender to take the place of old 
Minuet which is now ‘nearly impossible 
to buy, due to its slow propagation. This 
is a light lavender of just the right shade. 
Blooms are not large, about 4-in., but 
clear and never flecks. Grows to 60-in. 
tall, opens six with double-row placement. 
Early mid-season, and a good propagator. 
Bulbs, any size, $5.00 ea. No bulblets. 
No Discount.
