12 NOWETA GARDENS 


MAXWELTON (460) (Baerman) (Late Midseason) 
Distinctive tall large rose with deeper feather 
in the throat. Opens 8 perfectly placed blooms 
on-a straight stem. Really a fine thing. .(L .35; 
10-$2.80) (M_ .25; 10-$2.00) (S .15; 10-$1.20) 
Blbts. 10-.25. 
MELROSE (462) (Lins) (Early Midseason) In a 
series of ‘“‘blue crosses’’ a percentage will be 
“blue,’’ others mud, and some leaning more to- 
ward the purple shades. Melrose is one of 
these, a blue seedling crossed with Picardy. 
The color is hard to describe but it is a pleas- 
ing shade of medium rose falling in the same 
color class as Chamouny, Maxwelton and Early 
Rose. Ruffled. Plants are of average height, 
vigorous and an average propagator. (L_ .35; 
10-$2.80) (M_ .25; 10-$2.00) (S_ .15; 10-$1.20) 
Blbts. 10-.35. 
MEMORY OF HINDENBURG (550) (Pfitzer) 
(Midseason) Speaking of red, my mind turns to 
those tall, rich, lustrous bunches of Memory of 
Hindenburg we cut last fall. It sold at a pre- 
mium at the florists. Highly recommended even 
though the attachment is a little loose for han- 
dling. (L 10-.65) (M 10-.35) (S 10-.25) Blbts. 
.20 pkg. 
MILFORD (476) (Rides) Midseason) The tallest 
and huskiest of all the blues but more or less 
at the bottom of the scale for color. Very large 
light violet with deeper throat markings. Some- 
times not very attractively colored on reverse 
side of petals. Performed very well indeed in 
last summer’s dry weather. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) 
(M 4-.20; 10-.40) 
MISS VERMONT (566) (Hatch) Early Midseason) 
A delicate ruffled pale lavender that did pretty 
well for us last summer. Need to see more of 
it to fully attest its value but it looked hopeful. 
(L $3.00) Blbts. 1-.25; 10-$2.00. 
MISS WISCONSIN (460) (Krueger) (Midseason) 
A new comer in the rose class that is winning 
its way. A medium rose that opens about 6 
514-inch florets on tall spikes. (L $1.00) (M 
.75) (S .50; 10-$4.00) 
MISTY DAWN (580) (Rich) (Midseason) Ap- 
propriately named since the brilliant throat 
blotch reminds one of the sun rising through 
the mists of a foggy morning. The large soft 
gray smoky florets are well arranged on sub- 
stantial spikes. A leading smoky and one that 
has done well for us. (L .15; 10-$1.20) (M 10.- 
.75) (S 10-.50) Blbts. 35-.25; 100-.50. 
MOHAWK (454) (Stevens) (Late Midseason) Has 
a richer, more velvety luster than Black Opal, 
but not likely to displace it. Gave an excellent 
account of itself last summer. Opens a goodly 
number on a straight stem. Fast propagator. 
(L .15; 10-$1.00) (M_ .10; 10-.70) (S_ 10-.50) 
Blbts. .20 pkg. 
MOTHER KADEL (312) (Kadel) (Midseason) A 
coming commercial yellow with no markings. 
Two generations removed from the older Gold- 
en Dream, of which it is reminiscent. More 
graceful and airy than its grandparent. Five 
to six rather plain florets on tall spikes. Gave 
a good account of itself last summer. (L .15; 
10-$1.20) (M .10; 10-.80) (S 4-.25; 10-.50) Blbts. 
15-.25; 100-$1.00. 
MRS. MARK’S MEMORY (570) (Pfitzer) (Mid- 
season) This tall exhibition sized deep rose or 
medium purple has done well for us. Distinc- 
tively colored. Vigorous and headed for the 
commercial field. (L .25; 10-$2.00) (M .20; 10- 
$1.60) (S .10; 10-.80) Blbts. 10-.20; 100-$1.50. 
MYRTH (440) (Fischer) (Midseason) Myrth is the 
happy combination of 3 great glads. From 
Lotus it inherits the styling and delicate color- 
ing of the Prestgard strain; from Margaret 
Fulton, its stalwart performance, and from 
Picardy, its tall, willowy spikes. Intensely 
frilled, mellow light pink blending to a large 
creamy throat. Heavy substance. Our best 
seller of last season. This has been one of our 
“Aces” of previous years and one of my favor- 
ite glads but for us Myrth took a year’s vaca- 
tion this season. Have had some fine reports 
on it. (L .60; 10-$4.80) (M .40; 10-$3.20) (S .25; 
10-$2.00) Blbts. 5-.25; 100-$4.00. 
OPHIR (410) (Baerman) (Early Midseason) Ophir 
is a flare of lacy frills, elaborate styling, and 
beautiful coloring. The clear crystalline yellow 
is strikingly set off by a sharp cherry spearhead 
in the throat. Highly recommended to the con- 
noisseur. Short in stature, though a good grow- 
er otherwise. (L .25; 10-$2.00) (M .20; 10-$1.60) 
(S .15; 10-.80) Blbts. 10-.20; 100-$1.50. 
PALERMO (521) (R. Pruitt) (Late) Palermo may 
well be compared to Barcarole in its general 
tone effect. It is less refined, though much 
larger and taller. The florets fade in the sun. 
Very strong grower. (L .25; 10-$2.00) (M_ .20; 
erubs (S 2-.25; 10-$1.00) Blbts. 15-.15; 100- 
1.00. 
PARNASSUS (470) (Ristow) (Midseason) Very 
pleasing shade of rich purple that is proving to 
be a good commercial. Produces many fine 
spikes hailed with a cheer by the florists. The 
large, round florets have a white line in the 
throat. Run-away propagator. Plant is of me- 
dium height. (L .10; 10-.80) (M 4-.25; 10-.50) 
(S 10-.35) Blbts. .30 pkg. 
PAUL REVERE (462) (Baerman) (Early Midsea- 
son) A glossy, velvety rose red that is wonder- 
fully rich and unusual in color. Opens 4 or 5 
blooms on fairly tall spikes but with rather 
short flowerheads. Good grower, medium dec- 
orative in size, and informal in arrangement. 
Truly a color marvel. (L .20; 10-$1.60) (M .15; 
10-$1.20) (S 10-.70) Bibts. 15-.25; 100-$2.00. 
PICARDY (530) (Palmer) (Midseason) The stand- 
ard by which other glads are judged. The beau- 
tiful apricot salmon that everyone knows. More 
widely grown than any glad in existence. We 
boast a superior strain. (L 10-.65) (M_ 10-.35) 
(S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
PIONEER (532) (La Salle) (Midseason) A large 
deep vivid salmon blending to a deep cream or 
light yellow throat. Opens a goodly number on 
tall straight spikes. In our experience Pioneer 
had more class than Cover Girl both currently 
put out by the same originator but Cover Girl 
is the more prolific by quite a way. (L $2.00; 
10-$16.00) 
PIQUANTE (316) (Riley) (Late) A new tall light 
buff or deep apricot that didn’t do well in one 
season’s growings. Blooms were small and er- 
ratic in arrangement. Another season’s bloom- 
ing will more thoroughly establish its worth. 
(L .50; 10-$4.00) Blbts. 10-.25; 100-$2.00. 
POET’S DREAM (366) A new ruffled lavender 
more fully described on page 4. 
PURPLE SUPREME (470) (Wilson) (Early Mid- 
season) A tall clear purple that has been win- 
ning its way into the commercial field. An 
excellent basket flower because of its long 
flowerheads. Beautiful color. (M .30) (S .20) 
RED CHARM (452) (Butt) (Early Midseason) A 
charm of red, indeed, and a very important 
variety. Opens a generous number of bright, 
round, well placed florets on _ tall, willowy 
spikes. Destined to be a must-have in every 
one’s garden. (L .20; 10-$1.60) (M 2-.25; 10- 
$1.00) (S. 2-.15; 10-.60) Blbts. 2-.25; 10-$1.00. 
ROSA VAN LIMA (440) (Pfitzer) (Early Midsea- 
son) An extra fine commercial light pink. Very 
uniform and dependable in habit. Excellent 
grower. Beautiful color. Probably the number 
one commercial in our fields. (L 10-.65) (M 
10-.35) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg.
