BOLERO is a novelty orange that is very striking. 
ABNAKI is well worth trying. 
When one mentions the lght-salmon class VIC- 
TORY QUEEN is tops with GLAMIS, JEANIE, and 
PICARDY as pretty fair also-rans. 
The deep salmons are dominated by the much over- 
looked GENGHIS KHAN. The smaller intensely ruf- 
fled STYLE PLUS, while not so large and imposing, 
is well hked. HARMAU, a color that is difficult to 
place, has come to stay. 
FIREBIRD, a clear, brilliant searlet, is one of the 
best additions to this class. A fine exhibition variety, 
it is still better as a commercial. TUNISIA is one of 
the highest scoring varieties of all classes, though darker 
in color than Firebird. 
AVALON makes marvelous light pink spikes. BIG 
TOP still makes ’em gasp for size. BRIDE’S DE- 
LIGHT, beautifully ruffled pink and cream, is popular 
with florists in spite of an occasional misfaced floret. 
CANDYHEART is always popular in the home garden. 
Perhaps LAVOLIER is one of the most beautiful. With 
such a deluge of pink seediings it is very difficult to 
weed them out, and we don’t pretend to know all of 
the gocd ones, but let us add that we have tried many 
highly recommended pinks only to be disappointed. 
Deep pinks include PANDORA and SUMMER 
GAL. Watch for a new one by Roy Mikle. 
OHIO NONPAREIL is one cf the best light reds, « 
is GRACIE ALLEN. DANIEL BOONE is a nov ae 
heavily corrugated brick-red. KING CLICK, most 
beautiful of all the reds shares honors with STOP- 
LIGHT and RED RASCAL. 
Of the black reds BLACK OPAL seems most con- 
sistent with BLACK MAGIC capable of exceptional 
spikes. 
Of the 60 rose class FRANCIS M. IRWIN and 
MISS WISCONSIN are tops while in the 62 deep rose 
class BURMA still rides high in. popularity. 
Of the lavenders GRAND OPENING is the mos: 
consistent winner of top awards while HUNTRESS, 
MYRNA FAY, MINSTREL, ABIGAL, HILDRED, 
and ELIZABETH the QUEEN all have their followers. 
PURPLE SUPREME and MRS.-MARKS MEM- 
ORY performed the best for us while PURPLE 
CLASSIC outdid itself with the fall rains. JACK POT, 
with its slight smoke, is often outstanding. Think we 
have a heavily ruffled purple seedling, but we’ll brag 
about that after 1t proves itself. 
BLUE LAGOON, PORECLAIN BLUE, BLUE 
BEAUTY and perhaps MILFORD are the best of the 
blue violets. Occasionally a spike of LEONARDO de 
VINCI can be terrific, but not often. 
Of the smoky classes we would recommend HIGH 
FINANCE, VOO DOO, TECUMSEH, and R. B. Some 
how I just can’t leave out ZUNI, variable as it is. 
Try a vase of Zuni and Harmau for a real knockout 
in color. 
OKLAHOMA is the most distinctly beautiful of the 
A.OC. It is decidedly different and that is one thing 
we all look for. BUCKEYE BRONZE, BRAZIL, and 
KING TAN all do their share of winning.
