VALERIA (436) (Pruitt) (Early) We had per- 
fectly magnificent Valeria last summer. Many 
of them were show spikes. It is very tall, a 
pleasing shade of scarlet, and builds a sub- 
stantial spike. Bulblets are often difficult to 
germinate. A universal favorite. Very popular. 
A first class cutter. No shorts. (L 3-.25 10-.70) 
(M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
VALOR (432) (Baerman) (Midseason) Similar 
to Beacon though more of a salmon shade. 
Blooms freely from small bulbs. Does well 
late in the fall. (L 10-.50) (M 10-.35) (S 10-.20) 
Blbts. .15 pkg. 
VANGOLD (312) (Van Voorhis) (Early) A deep 
golden yellow that has won its way along. 
Opens about 6 5-inch blooms slightly waved on 
tall willowy spikes. In great demand. (L-.75) 
(M .50) (S .35) Bilbts. 5-.25; 100-3.00. 
VARIATION (340) (Krueger) (Early Midseason) 
A pleasing shade of cool pink. Very plain in 
form. I’m on the fence as to the true com- 
mercial value of this one. Had seme shorts; 
some were nice and tall. Florets are well at- 
tached. Try it—see what you get. (L 3-.25; 10- 
.75) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
WANDA (406) (Snyder) (Midseason) A cream 
sport of Picardy that is fast becoming popular 
as a cutflower. Not as refined as Leading Lady 
or Silver Wings, but an _ excellent cut- 
flower. Vigorous and prolific. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) 
(M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
WEDGEWOOD (366) (Fischer) (Midseason) See 
page 2 
WHITE GOLD (506) (Scheer) (Midseason) Tall, 
vigorous cream with 4-6” massive blooms on a 
straight stem. Has received much popularity 
since its introduction. Excellent growing habits. 
Not so fond of it myself. (L .15; 10-1.00) (M 10- 
.60) (S 10-.35) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
WINGS OF SONG (442) (Ellis) (Midseason) An 
exceptionally fine rose salmon sometimes bor- 
dered with blue at the edges. Tall, with many 
open. Recipient of numerous awards. One of 
the leading cut flowers with us this year, taking 
its place with Margaret Fulton, Snow Princess, 
Surfside, Corona, Arethusa, Rosa van Lima, 
Rose Delight, Legend, etc. Does well every 
year. (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
WHITE FANTASY (400) (La Salle) (Early) An 
early ruffled creamy white. Of merit as an early 
cut flower. Florets have more style than Snow 
Princess, but it burns quite easily in hot 
weather, we have found. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M- 
10) (S-16-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
YELLOW PARADISE (410) (Canine) (Midsea- 
son) A color sport of Paradise that should go 
as a commercial. Not a cream but a clear light 
yellow. Rather plain in form but a good cutter. 
ss 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20

“We have liked Rose O’Day. It has increased 
so well, and there are so many good bulblets 
on it that we likely will have a good stock in 
another year.’’—C. C. Marshall, Canada. 

“Poet’s Dream, Gleam, Rose O’Day and 
Gratitude seem to be winning their way for 
brand new releases.’’—Jim O’dell, Mass.
