TOPELITE is exceptionally outstanding as a beautiful color and it will have 
a big future. Will win the praise of the most critical judge. Fischers new 
BEAUTY’S BLUSH had about the most perfect qualities of anything we grew 
this year. In fact I hesitate to name the slightest fault from the small trial we 
grew. Watch this one, along with his No. 99-41 reserved for next season. MAR- 
ION PEARL isa top notch show flower and would be a commercial if it would 
increase faster. BENGASI looked better this season. Certainly has color appeal 
and lasting qualities. DAISY MAE, grown from No, 5 bloomed late but be- 
lieve it will make the grade and stay awhile. LADY LUCK another Picardy 
sport was again very nice, although a little faded out, but at the same time a 
nice clean pastel. PINK CHARM a real early that you early cut flower growers 
should keep an eye on. We will continue to grow OGARITA for its massive 
plant and spike. Could this have been crossed with the Iowa tall corn? PHAN- 
TOM BEAUTY was quite exceptional. 
Lin’s TROCADERO stood out as a promising cut flower. It’s tall with a long 
flower head of a real good clean color. When ATLANTIC first bloomed it was 
the most marvelous thing I have ever seen. Very near the shade of Valeria and 
opening 10 to 12 but by the end of the second day, the color had broken very 
badly. I hope this is not a regular fault. While the stem was somewhat on the 
short side, ROYAL WINDSOR was a swell flower, opening up to 10 at one time. 
DR. WHITELEY and MARIMBA are both outstanding in the buff class. 
However SUNLIGHT will challenge them both. Being a seedling of Margaret 
Fulton it has inherited some of its good commercial qualities. 
We had nothing new in whites except SVNOWSHEEN that stood out. This is 
pure snow white, tall stretchy plant and flower head. MT. INDEX was very 
impressive with its light yellow throat. I probably will be razzed for mentioning 
ALPINE as a commercial, but what couldn’t a good florist do with this for 
make-up work. We found one lavender in PEGGY that was really impressive. 
A clean, clear, smooth lavender, and a tall plant with fine dark green foliage. 
This just struck me as one of the “Finds” of the season. HUNTRESS and 
ABIGAIL, both top-notchers, but both flake badly. Abigail is the tallest. Hun- 
tress opened to a clear clean lavender from tight bud. Apparently didn’t give 
Abigail the same test. 
I like the appearance of CRINKLE CREAM as well as any of the newer 
yellows. TAHLAHNEKA is worth watching. YELLOW HERALD from Hol- 
land grown only from No. 5 bulbs made a good impression of itself. We had two 
other surprises from Holland, but from sample bulbs. HIGH LIFE was a very 
welcome addition to the blues. It’s not large, but a stately plant, wide open 
recurved flowers and well placed. ABU HASSEN, an improved Pelegrina is 
something else we have been looking for. BLUE ICE has size, color and beauty. 
GRATITUDE is definitely good in its color class and will make a good cutter. 
In the deep reds, I have seen or grown nothing of late that will surpass BIRCH 
RED. It’s probably too dark for extensive commercial use, but its*smooth, 
velvety color and growing qualities will make it valuable. BURMA is outstand- 
ing for color, beauty, and show purposes, but never will make a commercial.
