LAVENDER PRINCE 
8 NOWETA GARDENS 
CHAMOUNY ((460) (Baerman) (Midseason) A 
distinct and very unusual shade of cerise-rose 
with a silver line around the edge of each 
petal. Some plants grow nice and tall like 
young willow trees; others come short. Appeals 
to the unusual and was much admired by gar- 
den visitors. (L .25; 10-$2.00) Blbts. .25 pkg. 
CHEHALEM (452) (Becker (Early) A tall bril- 
liant red that looked promising as a commer- 
cial, makes nice bulbs and is prolific. Recom- 
mended. (L $1.00; 10-$8.00) (M .75; 10-$6.00) 
(S .50; 10-$4.00) Blbts. 4-.25; 100-$5.00. 
CHIEF MULTNOMAH (480) (Ellis) (Midseason) 
A chocolate smoky enhanced by a red blotch in 
the throat. One of our favorite smokies. Tall 
and very vigorous plants produce 4-6 blooms 
on lengthy spikes. Performed very well during 
dry weather last summer and the only smoky 
we grow for the florists. Spikes need to be cut 
as they come into bloom or they will lop over 
in the field. (L 10-.70) (M 10-.50) (S 10-.35) 
Blbts. .20 pkg. 
CHINA MAID (432) (Fischer) (Midseason) China 
Maid is a tall, rich, glowing salmon offset by a 
bright yellow throat. Becoming very popular 
as it is one of our best sellers but needs to 
propagate faster to be a first-rate commercial. 
If you tire of Picardy, try China Maid. (L .20; 
10-$1.20) (M .15; 10-$1.20) (S .10; 10-.80) Blbts. 
10-.15; 100-$1.00. 
CORONA (440) (Palmer) (Midseason) One of the 
season’s most captivating flowers was tall, dis- 
tinctive Corona. It comes well-named since 
a corona of light rose pink encircles a creamy 
throat. Believe it to be one of Palmer’s best. 
Opens 6-8 large, wide-open blooms on a lengthy 
straight spike. A cluster of large fat bulblets 
comes well attached to each bulb as one lifts 
them out of the ground. A leading commercial. 
(L 2-.25; 10-$1.00) (M 2-.20; 10-.80) (S 10-.50) 
Blbts. .20 pkg. 
COVER GIRL (442) (La Salle) (Midseason) A 
very tall medium pink that opens up to ten 
515” florets on long flowerheads. With but one 
season’s growing the florets proved to be loose- 
ly attached. Very prolific. (L $2.00; 10-$16.00) 
(M $1.50; 10-$12.00) (S $1.00; 10-$8.00) Blbts. 
10-$2.00; 100-$12.00. 
CRINKLE CREAM (410) (Ellis) (Midseason) A 
ruffled pale yellow with wide open florets, good 
placement and average height. Good propaga- 
tor and germinator. Quite popular on the show 
table. A likely commercial. (L .60; 10-$4.80) 
(M .40; 10-$3.20) Blbts. 10-.60; 100-$4.00. 
DAISY MAE (441) (Lins) (Midseason-Late) Tall, 
husky, prolific Daisy Mae built some imposing 
spikes for us last summer. Recommended as a 
commercial because of its easy growing habits, 
however, it definitely lacks color appeal. A 
rather coarse orangy pink or dull salmon 
blends into a deeper blotch; not as contrasted 
as the picture on page 9 would seem to depict. 
Opens 7 five and one-half inch florets on tall 
spikes. (Any size bulb $2.00) 
DIEPPE (452) (Hassall) (Midseason) A beautiful 
shade of velvety salmon-scarlet with a slightly 
deeper throat that has the color appeal of the 
old, but famed Pfitzer’s Triumph. Opens 6 wide 
open, well arranged florets on good spikes. 
Seems to be a good grower. Our favorite of 
all of Elmer Gove’s introductions of last year. 
(L $2.00; 10-$16.00) 
DISCOVERY (519) (Baerman) (Early Midseason) 
Very tall, heavily ruffled cream to light yellow 
with a small distinctive red star in the throat. 
Tall straight stems which open 5 to 6 large 
florets. Very distinctive and a likely commer- 
cial. (L .50; 10-$4.00) (M .35; 10-$2.80) (S .25; 
10-$2.00) Blbts. 15-.25; 100-$1.50.
