Filigree (KuHN) (216) (Mid-season) A small flowered variety that is beautiful. 
_—___~ ~~ A distinct pinkish buff heavily ruffled and laciniated and with pointed 
petals. Nice for artistic arrangement and for its class on the show table. Opens up 5 blooms 
at a time with 3 more showing color, with a total of 18 buds. 
< 4 (KuHN) (436) (Early) Clear lively brilliant scarlet. A good early cut 
Firebird flower red. Opens 6-8 out of a total of 20-24 buds on a plant that grows 
about 414 feet tall. Will become popular. 
4 (Butt) (452) (Mid-season) Glistening medium red of a distinctive 
Firebrand shade with a slightly darker throat. Opens up 8-10 or more well 
placed blooms with very firm attachment. Tall straight slender spikes. Heavy propagator 
and a variety that is bound to become popular. 
4 (WiLson) (580) (Late mid-season) Light smoky gray 
Flying Fortress with a huge head of bloom. Opens up 12 on a tall plant. 
One of the best show flowers in the smoky section and all in all one of the best smokies to 
be had. A spike is a bouquet by itself. 
(Guass) (452) (Late mid-season) <A blend of deep velvety red 
Fort Garry lightened by a slightly lighter shade on the midribs. The stamens 
are edged white which helps to lighten up the flower. Opens 7-8 slightly waved 5”’ blooms 
on a 20 bud head. Good tall grower. Heavy texture and good placement. 
The color is one that the public likes, somewhat like the old Rewi Fallu, which has 
about passed out now. This variety will stand more rough usage than any other red I know 
of. The flowers are not easily bruised like many kinds. Partly because of this ability to 
stand rough handling it should make a good commercial. Mr. Glass, the originator, says it 
is one of his best cut flower varieties. 
Fuchsia Belle (\:“®") (462) (Mid-season) Deep rose red of a glistening 
American beauty shade. Opens 8-10 good sized blooms on a 
tall straight spike. A fine show flower and should make a good commercial in so far as its 
color permits. 
Ga lore (Harris) (432) (Mid-season) Deep salmon pink with cream blotch. 
y Very tall strong straight grower with several large blooms open. A 100% 
cutter. Very popular cut flower variety in Canada and should be here. Good propagator. 
(Hatcu)  (433)6=1( Bary meee 
General Douglas MacArthur strong growing light salmon rose. 
Opens up to 8-6” round lightly ruffled blooms on a tall strong growing husky plant. This is 
a fine commercial variety that few cut flower growers seem to have learned about. If you are 
not growing this you are passing up a good thing. 
e (SCHEER) (432) (Early mid-season) Beautiful heavily 
Genghis Kahn ruffled medium light pink blending to a light cream throat. 
Opens 6-7 good sized blooms on a medium height plant. A beautiful variety that is becom- 
ing increasingly popular. 
Gerr (HatcH) (400) (Mid-season) This is a very beautiful pure white with fine 
¥ ruffling around the edges. Looks as tho the flowers had been crimped instead 
of the ordinary heavy ruffling. Grows up to 5 feet tall with up to 10-5”’ blooms at a time. 
A very beautiful variety for local cut flower use or for the home garden and for exhibition 
also. See cut on page 18. | 
Gleam (FiscHER) (410) (Mid-season) Beautifully ruffled lustrous light yellow. 
Heavy waxy petals. Grows about 41% feet tall. A very beautiful yellow 
especially for the connoisseur. 
(PRuUITT-BASTIAN) (510) (Mid-season) Clear light yellow 
Golden Arrow that looks like a coming commercial. Opens 8 with several 
more showing color. 5 feet tall, always straight spikes with large well placed blooms with 
firm attachment. Healthy vigorous grower and fine propagator. One of the best yellows I 
know of for cut flower use. :
