Modern Ribbons of Color 

1946 Introductions 
CHANTILLY (Graff) 
A light La France pink variety, formal exhibition type, with the ability 
to open 9 or 10 wide open 5 to 5% inch florets. It grows to the height of 
55 inches and produces an 18 to 20 bud spike. Grand Champion Seedling 
and Reserve Champion of show at Ottawa, Illinois, 1945. Bulblet produc- 
tion is good. A definite challenger of Connecticut Yankee. 
Price each, any size, $10.00. No bulblets. 
CHRISTINE (Cave) 
Christine and Bengasi are Cave’s best. They both are future greats and 
will be grown in large quantities as soon as enough stock is available. 
My weakness is good whites and pinks, so I may be biased. Christine is 
a 6-inch, beautiful, plain petaled, recurved, white Glad with good sub- 
stance and a stiff, strong stem. The stem is not thick or massive and it 
grows to a height of 56 inches. I like Christine and Chantilly. 
Price each, any size, $5.00. No bulblets. 
CROWN ORCHID (Almey) 
Plain wide open florets of deep lavender which open very well and 
grow on a tall vigorous plant. Similar to Sybil. Small bulbs produced 
large size blooms for me this year. This variety may prove to be a com- 
mercial lavender. Large size florets and the variety propagates very well. 
Price each, Large, $5.00; Medium, $3.75; Small, $2.50. 
Bulblets, 10 for $4.00; 100 for $32.00. 
DUSTY MILLER (Elliot) 
Another good one from Canada. Smoky old-rose with distinctive cream 
lines. This glad is one of the best smokies I have grown. Large size, 
but not a giant, good grower and a perfect commercial spike. Darker 
than the average smoky. It is a good blend of color. I recommend Dusty 
Miller and you will grow it after you have seen it bloom, Also my wife’s 
favorite. 
Price each, Large, $2.00; Medium, $1.50; Small, $1.00. 
Bulblets, 10 for $2.00; 100 for $16.00. 
MARTHA DEAN (Guille) 
A distinguished, slightly ruffled yellow with a small red line running 
half way down the lower petal’s rib. It blooms from bulblets and it is a 
good shipper and good cutter. A straight spike taller than average and 
the medium yellow blooms are of large size. Small bulblets that grow well. 
Price each, Large, $5.00; Medium, $4.00; Small, $3.00. 
Bulblets, 10 for $4.00; 100 for $32.00. 
RUBY RED (Young) 
Color is what puts this variety in the list. Ruby Red best describes the 
color. Grows 20 buds having 8 open and most of the remaining buds in 
color on a spike that does not crook. It does not fleck in the field and it 
has very strong floret attachment. Most Open at Edwardsville, Illinois, 
in 1946. N.E.G.S. seedling award at LeRoy, Illinois, in 1945. 
Price each, Large, $2.00; Medium, $1.00; Small, 50c. 
Bulblets, 10 for $2.00; 100 for $16.00.
