EXCITEMENT ~ a much admired flower blooming through the heat of the summer and 
apparently able to withstand the worst conditions our summer cen offer. The con- 
struction of the segments is unusual. The veining is heavy and fiberous on the re~ 
verse and gives a texture that is very sturdy. The four and a half feot scape is 
rather stiff and erect, and carries the five and a half inch flowers in e way that 
suggests a true lily. The wide star shaped flower is the red listed as "red feather” 
_With a smaller star of a darker shade, superimposed in the center of the flower. A 
deep throat of chartreuse accents the beautifully blended reds. A very slow 
propagator. 
FROM AMONG OUR NIGHT BLOOMERS WE HAVE SELECTED THE FOLLOWING: 
ERWIN Ee ESPIG - a night blooming flower, selected by a business man for his 
own garden. It is a mid-summer flower of clear canary yellow, and with its artistic 
form it is very suggestive of a fluttering canary. Opening in the early evening it 
lasts well into the next dav. A four and a half inch flower on a three foot scapes 
AMAZON QUEEN = the heaviest type of plant in the garden, also the best propa- 
gators The flower is very irregular in form = somewhat suggestive of a large gladi- 
Olus.» It is carried horizontally on the scape, with the three upper segments much 
recurved and the lower segments protruding. The color is dull apricot, with a halo 
of pale lilac lying high in the throat. The unusual form, the heavy texture and 
the very rugged growth are all qualities that we feel worth propagating. This clone 
ig a night bloomer, 
SOIREE = like the above is a night bloomer, but often lasts well inte the next 
daye The basic color is the same as that of Amazon Queen and the shape, too is 
irregular. The texture is heavy and smeoth. This flower is a bright, lively color 
with a conspicuous eye of a deep true purple, and is longer than wide, being about 
five inches by four. Soiree is the first “repeater” that we have produced in our 
garden. It blooms very wel] in the early autum, 
THESE TWO CLONES ARE NIGHT AND DAY BLOOMERS, LASTING MORE THAN TWENTY=FOUR HOURS. 
CANDLE LIGHT < is a light yellow, four inch flower. The scapes are numerous, 
well branched and many budded. They measure four feet. The season = late summer, 
NYMPHEA - is a clear, soft medium red, about five inches wide. Otherwise, this 
Clone is a duplicate of Candle Light. They make an interesting contrast and are 
planted as specimen plants. 
*GOLDEN KNIGHT ~ this is one of the “better” clones. The color is "Florida 
Gold", The texture is unusually heavy and crepy, and in a mature plant that is well 
established, the flowers are five inches. The petals are wide and overlapping, with 
frilled edges. The flowers open in the early evening and often last until the next 
days buds are open. The plant is not tall, but is sturdy, with two foot scapes. 
Season, mid-summer, 
*GOLDEN DAYS © a clear, sunny yellow, that appears to be sun-proof in this 
locality, A large flower in proportion to the size of the plant, which is only 
medium, Width, four and a half inches. This is a day bloomer, and flowers in the 
late summer.
