ROYAL WINDSOR (Beaton) I was privi- 
leged to share in the introduction of this 
pure spectrum red which won. the 
Chrysler trophy at S. E. Michigan Show 
—Detroit ’44. Color in my garden is 
very light scarlet. It grows 54 inches 
tall with 8 to 10, five and one-half inch 
florets open on a 20 bud spike with a 24 
inch flowerhead. It can be cut in bud 
and opens perfectly. Spikes are always 
straight with perfect attachment of flor- 
ets. One of the most profuse bloomers 
tiom bulblets. Detroit florists rave over 
its color value and perfect formal ar- 
rangement.

SNOWSHEEN 
SOUTHERN DRAMA 
SI 
STCPLIGHT (Lins) Easy 
very lovely glad. It has not been public- 
ized extensively because of its tendency 
to eréok in hot weather, but if planted 
for September blooms, it can be of cham- 
pionship calibre. Color, salmon pink 
with faint white midrib and more pink 
than salmon. It will open up to 8 six 
ich blooms easily. Season 100 days. 
L .153; Bts. 100 for .25. 
Probably the 
greatest show sensation of 1943. Anoth- 
er white sport of Picardy, formerly 
known as P39. Plenty of argument as 
toa which is best, this or Leading Lady. 
There is a definite difference in type of 
florets and color, Silver Wings being 
somewhat whiter, wider open and a bit 
more ruffled. A very heavy increaser 
and excellent grower.

(Ritsema) 
(Snvder) The white that is 
Introduced in 1942, Snowsheen 
is a nicely ruffled pure white without 
markings. COpens 6, four inch wide open 
triangular shaped florets, 4 buds in color, 
20 buds to the spike, flowerhead around 
25 inches. It is a good producer of bulb- 
lets that germinate easily. Bulbs do not 
split as some whites do.

(Wilson) <A _ large 
searlet with 6 inch florets on a 30 inch 
flower head and growing 5 feet tall. 
Strong grower and propagator and an 
excellent glad in this color. Hard te 
choose between this one and Ohio Non- 
pareil or King Click by same originator. 
aH are good, only safe way is to grow 
all.

different. 
->CTLIGHT (Palmer) Probably the out- 
standing vellow of recent years. Clear 
bright yellow with small feather blotch 
of scarlet. Produces tall straight spikes 
which carry 18 buds and hold 5 to 6 
large blooms open at once. It produces 
plenty of large bulblets which bloom 
easily. Spotlight has been in great de- 
mand for commercial growers ever since 
its introduction and is a real addition to 
the yellow class. 
I, $1.50: M $1.00; S .60; Bts. each .15; 10 
for $1.20, 
to get this one 
confused with the previous one. Names 
being so similar, but a marked difference 
in color, Stoplight being one of the fin- 
est commercial reds and a show flower 
as well. Spikes are always straight av- 
eraging 50 inches in field. The intense 
ruffled red florets are perfectly placed 
SUSQUEHANNA (Herridge) 
and attached. The outstanding virtue of 
Stoplight is its ability to withstand heat. 
Heavy producer of easy germinating 
bulblets, many of which produce salable 
blooms. 
M 2 for .20; S 4 for .15; Bts. 10 for .15; 
100 for .75. 
SUMMER GAL (Zimmer) Another 1944 in- 
troduction and one becoming increasing- 
ly popular. Stocks are still very scarce. 
There is nothing to compare in its color 
with this large shimmering geranium 
pink with a rose feather in the throat, 
slightly ruffled and with no flecking. 
Florets are 6 inches in width, 7 to 8 
open with 4 more in color. Grows tall, 
up to 60 inches with 18 to 20 buds on a 
24 inch flowerhead. LBulblet production 
good and germination excellent. A 
strong, healthy grower and a definite 
contender in the pink class. 
L $5.09; M $4.00; S $3.00; Bts. .60 each; 
10 for $5.00. 
SUNLIGHT (Spiller) Rose pink shading to 
pure golden center, giving the effect of 
brilliant light orange. The florets are 
large, ruffled and perfectly placed. Sun- 
light is a vigorous grower and produces 
plenty of bulblets that germinate easily. 
Will make an outstanding commercial 
orange variety. It won the American 
Home Achievement award at Maine Snow 
45, the first variety to win this medal 
in 4 years at Maine Show.

70 each; 
Clear peach 
buff with ereamy throat. A different 
clear bright color that is appealing. 
Opens 6 to 8. fcur and a half to five inch 
blooms on a flower head of 18 to 20 buds. 
Very free bloomer from bulblets. Sus- 
quehanna has been particularly nice this 
year and should become a leading com- 
mercial among the pastel shades. 
Vv. 35; M .253; S .15; Bts. 10 for .15; 100 for

TAHLANEKA (Miller) A big light yellow 
with up to 8 open on a tall spike, 
Western growers consider this one of 
the best yellows. Only saw bulblet 
blooms this seascn but looks good. 
M .25; S .15; Bts. 10 for .25; 100 for $2.00. 
TARAWA (Palmer) A most brilliant sear- 
let, mildly blotched deeper, with 2 singie 
broad cream pencil stripe on midrib of 
lower petals. Blooms are waved and 
ruffled and beautifully: placed. Opens 10 
or more with 7 to 8 showing color, a 
total of 20 buds. This looks to me like 
the best Palmer release of last season. 
The photo shown was from a No. 5 bulb. 
Holding stéeck for increase. 
TRUE LOVE (Kline) An early ruffled clear 
shell pink of exquisite beauty of form 
and coloring, and of good _ size also, 
reaching 5 inches. Grows 50 inches tall 
with 17 or 18 buds. True Love is about 
the earliest in its coler, blooming in 70 
days. It was one of the brightest pros- 
pects in my 1945 garden and is univers- 
ally well spoken of. 
S .60; Bts, .15 each; 10 for $1.20; 100 for 
$8.00. 
TUNIAS MAHOMET (Both) This glad has 
a depth of color, unusual even for 
smokies, deep velvety plum rose with 
orange scarlet in throat. Edges run 
deeper color. Originator calls. it the
