INTRODUCTION OF WALTER C. KRUEGER FOR 1946 
COLOR MARVEL (Krueger) 
Color Marvel is a cleanly-blended yellow with pink tones. Florets are truly a marvel of 
color; grows to a height of 50 to 60 inches and produces cut spikes of 40 inches with 24 inch 
flowerhead that carries 19 buds, of which 5 to 6 41% inch florets open at one time. Early, 
and is a good producer of bulblets that germinate satisfactorily, many of which bloom. 
Price each buib: Large, $10.00; Medium, $7.50; Small, $5.00. Ten bulbs for price of 
eight. No bulblets this season. 
INTRODUCTION OF CHUCK RUBLE 
DAISY MAE (Lins-Ruble 1945) 
In my opinion the outstanding glad of the 1945 introductions. This beautiful orange 
pink with a cherry throat blotch is headed for a very bright future as a commercial and 
exhibition variety. Opens 8 large blooms on an 18 bud spike, produces bulblets in large 
quantities which germinate 100%. A coming commercial; will become as popular as Picardy. 
Prices for 1946: Any size bulbs $2.00. Bulblets sold only with bulbs, 1 bulb and 25 
bulblets $5.00. Limit 5 deals to a customer.
