TONY 
Vagabond Prince X Rose Defiant 
(About 90 days) ... This glad COULD HAVE 
two namesakes. A INew York state preacher 
we all know and love, or high class. Make 
your own guess. We think No. 1 is hot. With 
its enormous size it is inclined to hood some on 
the two lip florets. In the nine years we have been 
growing it we have been really sold on it. A rich 
light chocolate with contrasting orange blotch and 
a picotee border of cream. Lightly ruffled. 
Floret 7 inch or better, 7 open, 6 in color, 30 inch 
flowerhead, 64 inches tall. Good propagator. 
Blts. germinate easily and near 100%. Strong 
grower. A lone ranger in color that is most ap- 
pealing to those who like the rich dark colors and 
the unique. Shown only once at Ohio State 
(Akron) 1944, won first and second, one and three 
spike combined in class, sectional champion in 500 
class (Mammoth). No. 3, $3.00; No. 4, $2.50; 
Noi 97 42:00;3Nos6247>2Di ts. 0reachtorelUrton 
$2.20. 
HONOLULU 
Janet X Bagdad 
(About 95 days) ... Should have held this for 
another year for more stock and some showing but 
finally decided to throw it in the ring this year. 
Has never been shown but we are ready to bet our 
roll it will. Big smoky orange with small clear 
orange blotch and small purple feather on lip. 
Hardly enough smoke to smell it. Something new 
in smoky tones. Nicely ruffled and fluted. Tall 
strong grower. Floret 6 inch, 8 open, 5 in color, 
20 buds, 24 inch flowerhead, 65 inches tall. Strong 
straight stem. Formal type, not hooded. Foliage 
healthy, upright, 43 inches tall. Take a flier on 
this one, it will pay off. Large $3.00; Medium 
$2.50; Small $1.50; Blts., .35 each or 10 for $2.60. 
SNOW MOUNTAIN 
Colossus X Pearl Necklace 
(About 70 days) ... The name places it. SNOW 
white, Mountain size. Something different in 
white type. The drape shape is really lovely with 
its beautiful fine ruffling and it is not cream, it is 
WHITE. Planted too late the past two years to 
catch other than very late shows. Winner of 
American Home Achievement award at Ohio State 
(Cleveland) in 1943. First in class at same show 
in 1944. Here is the sad part, if you were here 
you'd see tear drops on this sheet. IT CROOKS, 
about like Shirley Temple. Some can grow Shirley 
straight, same possibility for Snow Mountain. 
You’re on your own now. We get some straight 
spikes and will keep on growing it for its size and
