¢ (Hatrcu) (440) (Mid-season) Pale light pink tinted lavender. Opens up 
Mayling to 8 well placed blooms on a tall spike. Beautifully ruffled and of a heavy 
substance. Slender straight stem. Fine variety for exhibition or cut flowers or for any other 
purpose. One of the best pastels. 
— (Butr) (440) (Mid-season) Deep orchid pink with darker throat 
Medallion marks. A grand color. Spikes are tall and straight. 6-7 large blooms 
open on a medium length head. 
Mighty Monarch (ButTr) (552) A very tall strong rugged straight stemmed 
red. Opens 6—7 huge blooms of heavy substance. Said to 
be fine for breeding. 
Miss Vermont (Hatcu) (440) (Mid-season) Light pink tinted lavender 
and shading somewhat deeper in the throat. Opens 8-10 on a 
long flower head. Medium height and always straight stem. A very nice pink variety that I 
am sure you will like. 
Miss Wisconsin (KRUEGER) (460) (Late mid-season) Beautiful new 
_ shade of lavender rose. Opens 6-8 5’ blooms. A distinctive 
color that everyone seems to like. It is fast becoming a popular cut flower variety. Don’t 
miss this one. 
(STEVENS) (454) (Late mid-season) Dark glistening velvety red with 
Mohawk no markings. Opens up 8 well placed 5’’ blooms. A more glistening and 
brilliant color than Black Opal. Very nice dark red. 
Montpelier (Hatcu) (440) (Mid-season) Here is a very fine variety that I 
ee ~~. missed out on last year. Looks like about the best variety Hatch 
has put out. Color is a clear pink with no flecking. Opens up 8-10 5” well placed blooms on 
a tall plant that sometimes reaches 6 feet in height with a 30” head and a total of 20-24 
buds. This variety is not so really different from some other kinds and yet it has an attrac- 
tion all its own. Opens well and looks like a first class shipper and keeper. I am stocking 
up with it and advise other commercial growers to do the same. Don’t think you will be 
disappointed. A good regular cutter. No poor ones. 
(STEVENS) (480) (Mid-season) An old smoky variety 
Mother Machree that is still popular. Originally sold for $100.00 per bulb. 
A grand old smoky especially when opened in the house. 
W. (CHAMBERLAIN) (580) (Mid-season) This is a 
Mrs. C. W. Gannett huge smoky. The basic color is medium rose and 
it has a large red blotch. The color varies somewhat sometimes being flaked and more smoky 
than at other times. Opens 9 or more huge flowers which under good culture sometimes 
reach 8” in diameter. If you like the large ones or the odd colored ones don’t miss Mrs. 
Gannett. A well grown spike is an armful. 
(ERREY) (554) (Mid-season) Here is a black red that is 
Mrs. R. G. Errey claimed in Australia where it originated to be the last word 
in dark reds. It certainly is a very beautiful variety and is the tallest dark red I know of. 
Had it only from No. 5’s last season and it grew close to 5 feet tall with several beautiful 
huge blooms open, 
4 (KOERNER) (206) (Mid-season) Cream with a slight red feather 
Multipetal deep in the throat. Grows 3 feet tall. Healthy plant and good propa- 
gator and especially valuable for breeding. In fact that is where its chief value lies as_it 
transmits its doubleness to its seedlings. 
Mystery (Stinson) (541) (Mid-season) Nice lively shade of pure pink with 
v7 S*Y= 2 small rose blotch. Opens 7-9 blooms with several showing color. When 
well grown makes a fine exhibition and cut flower variety. 
“IF | had known how truly outstanding SPOTLIGHT and ORANGE GOLD are, | would have 
bought more of them. The No. 6 bulbs of BLUE LAGOON have produced plants which tower 
above all other plants in my garden. Surprisingly large spikes are just breaking out of their sheaths. 
“| was especially impressed with ATHLONE which attracted a lot of attention from visitors. 
! would rank this amongst the ten most beautiful varieties.” —F. R. Avery, Conn.
