NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
During the war period, lack of help has made it impossible for us to give proper 
attention to our seedlings. As a result, many valuable seedlings have been lost or 
their propagation has been retarded. Therefore, we are not introducing any of our 
own originations this year. However, we urge you to be on the lookout at the shows 
during the summer of 1946 for our Seedling No. 41135 which will be introduced in 
1947 under the name October Sunshine. The color blends from orange to a golden 
yellow throat. It will probably win some ribbons when it is shown, but in our 
opinion, its greatest value will be to the back-yard gardener and to the commercial cut 
flower grower. This is because of its great beauty, its high color value, its ability 
to open in water, its vigorous growth, and its ease of propagation. 
While we are not releasing anything of our own this year, we are listing several 
new introductions from other originators. 
From Walter C. Krueger. 
WAX MODEL (Krueger). A glistening white with an immaculate, small, clear 
lavender throat spear. The semi-recurved petals give it a distinctive appearance. It 
opens 5 to 6 five-inch florets on a 17 bud spike with a 22 inch flower head. It grows 
to a height of 60 inches and is always straight. It produces a satisfactory number 
of bulblets which germinate readily. As a seedling it won a number of awards during 
1945. However, it is especially reeommended as a commercial cut flower. Early. 
Price—Large $6.00, Medium $5.00, Small $4.00. No bulblets released. 
(No discount.) 
From Byron R. Kadel. 
RED PENNY (Kadel). (Apricot Glow x Pfitzer’s Triumph.) A live orange-red 
which is especially valuable as an early cut flower. Opens 5 medium size florets with 5 
more showing color on an 18 bud spike. Height about 50 inches but can be cut low 
without damage to foliage. A thhealthy, vigorous grower which propagates rapidly. 
Very early. 
A relatively large stock makes it possible to release this variety at a moderate 
price. 
MAMIE (Kadel). (Picardy x Giant Nymph.) Formerly Seedling F 35. Large 
salmon pink, deeper in color and more pink than Picardy. Opens 5 or 6 large blooms 
on a tall straight spike. Has excellent cut flower habits. Midseason. 
A relatively large stock makes it possible to release this at a moderate price. 
FORMER INTRODUCTIONS 
We have introduced the following varieties or listed them for the originator 
the first year of introduction: 
FLORA FARMER (Quackenbush). A _ beautiful radiant, deep pure pink, with 
a creamy throat. Opens 5 to 8 large ruffled florets at a time. Nearly all of the buds 
show strong color at the time the first floret opens, which adds greatly to its value. 
Placement and attachment of florets excellent. Since large bulbs often produce two 
or three spikes, all eyes but one should be cut out when growing for exhibition 
purposes. A fancier’s flower. (85 days.) 
INTERMEZZO (Quackenbush). (Minuet x Picardy.) Clear cream without mark- 
ing except that a faint dusting of violet rose, very deep, gives a warm tone to the 
throat. The florets, somewhat similar to those of Minuet, are wide open, pointed and 
reflexed. Opens 5 to 8 five-inch florets. Has 18 to 20 buds on spike which never 
crooks. Placement and attachment are excellent. The type is informal. Intermezzo 
is strong and healthy and is a tall grower, 52 to 55 inches or more. It blooms from 
any size bulb and when cut, opens up well in water. Having excellent substance 
and great decorative value, we believe it will prove to be a fine commercial. It makes 
plenty of bulblets which germinate readily and grow strongly. Winner of numerous 
awards. (90 days.)
