Donnella (Wricut) (340) (Early) A new very nice pink with white throat. The 
—_—_—_—_——_ earliest pink I had on my place this past season. The only variety I had 
earlier was Early Gold. This is a variety that will bloom early and bloom out early before 
the other varieties come along. Heavy propagator and first class all around commercial. 
Dr. Whiteley (RILEY) (516) (Mid-season) Clear apricot yellow with golden 
throat. Opens 5-6 large well placed blooms on a tall straight 
plant. Somewhat like Susquehanna in color but a little darker and larger but not so many 
open. 
Early Gold (Burr) (410) (Very early) Medium yellow with slightly deeper 
throat. Opens 6-7 blooms on a slender straight spike. This past 
season this was the earliest variety in my garden and bloomed out and was gone before 
any other yellow bloomed, with the exception of Spun Gold which followed it in a very 
few days. Valuable because of its earliness. 
(Jack) (362) (Early mid-season) Distinctive shade of rose shadin 
eaely. Rose to darker rose on lower petals. An old but very good early cone 
mercial. 
4 (SCHEER) (540) (Late mid-season) Very large clear warm pink blend- 
Eglantine ing to a light cream throat. Heavily ruffled. Opens 7-8 with several 
more showing color. Not a tall grower but when well grown is very fine. 
Elegy (BAERMAN) (466) (Early) Nice clear lavender mauve shading lighter on the 
——~— =F ~=—s lower petals with a cream throat. Opens 5—6 always well placed blooms. Grows 
about 4 feet in height and always straight slender stems. This is an early lavender that 
should make a fine commercial for local use and of course is fine for the home garden. It is 
an entirely different type of flower than Huntress and never flecks. Have got the price 
down this year to where you can afford to buy it. I think you will like it. 
Elizabeth the Queen (White) (566) (Mid-season) Beautiful clear 
lavender mauve with darker lines in the throat. 
Heavily ruffled and beautiful form. Opens 7-8 at a time. This is the best commercial lavender 
on the market. All the growers are stocking up with it. It is one that everyone must have 
in his home garden. And for commercial cut flower use I know of no other variety that 
can touch it. Very fine as a breeder. 
Errey’s Searlet (ERREY) (436) (Mid-season) Beautiful clear scarlet of a 
distinct shade with two darker spots on the lower petals. 
Opens up to as many as 14 blooms at a time. Very popular in some sections of the country. 
Ethel Cave-Cole (“© (440), Early mid-season) Pure light pink shading 
ee | ~=OCLO. A Creamy throat. Sometimes flecked but very popular 
as a cut flower variety in spite of this. Opens up to 9-10 well placed blooms. Very popular 
early cut flower variety as it blooms two weeks or more ahead of Picardy. 
Eureka (FAIRWEATHER) New introduction. See page 17. 
(LASALLE) (442) (Early mid-season) Deep pink with a double half 
Fabulous circle blotch of cherry red bordered by light cream. Opens 6-5’’ blooms 
on a tall strong stem. Good propagator and a fine cut flower variety. A very reliable sort 
as every spike is like the next one. You don’t get some good and some poor. To me this is 
one of the finest blotched varieties. 
F4 (Hatco) (500) (Early mid-season) Cream white shading to a 
Fair Angel deeper cream in the throat. Opens up 8 large round somewhat wavy 
blooms with several more showing color. 4-414 feet tall. A fine commercial variety that 
has a charm all its own. Blooms two weeks or so ahead of Leading Lady and so is valuable 
as a cul flower on that account as well as because of its own inherent quality. 
Fa (Jack) (460) (Early) Nice large ruffled pink with cream throat. Good early 
ray cut flower variety. Opens 7 or more well placed medium large blooms.
