(BEATRICE PALMER) (342) (Mid-season) Here is a variety that the cut 
Pandora flower growers are just waking up to. They should have had it years 
ago. Clear soft geranium pink with somewhat darker line in the throat which adds to its 
beauty. Opens 8-10 blooms on a medium height plant. Free bloomer and a grand variety, 
that is considered in many places as one of the best cut flower pinks on the market. Tho 
not so large as Picardy it outsells Picardy in most any market where it has appeared, but 
it hasn’t been very plentiful yet. However it is a good propagator and any cut flower grower 
should by all means get a start in it this year. You will be very happily surprised. I can’t 
speak too highly of this as a cut flower variety and also for the home garden. 
Parma (ALMEy) (401) (Early) Soft cream white with purple lines in the throat. 
; papers up Ue 8 large blooms on a tall strong husky plant. Should make a 
ine early cut flower variety. 
Sa (SCHEER) (566) (Mid-season) Large clear lavender about the shade 
Patrician of the deepest part of Minuet. Said to be a great improvement over 
Minuet. Have not bloomed this in my own garden but have heard good reports on it. Opens 
6—7 (6 and over) blooms, 50” or more tall. Good propagator.

Paul Robeson (CAvE) (554) (Mid-season) One of the best of the dark reds. 
eee ~=EC*Oppens 8-9 large blooms at_a time on a tall strong plant. Like 
poe potter dark red varieties it burns somewhat in the extreme heat so should be cut in 
the bud. 
Paul Rubens (SALMAN) (470) (Mid-season) Dark reddish violet with magenta 
—— ee cast, in other words magenta purple. Opens several large blooms 
on a tall strong spike. Good healthy grower and propagator. This is just the shade that all 
women rave over. 
Peggy (West) (366) (Mid-season) Clear light lavender which never flecks. Opens 
“ ie peony size blooms on a tall slender straight spike. This looks like a really 
good medium sized lavender. 
Penelope New introduction. See page 17. 
| 4 (Butr) (542) Light rose pink shading somewhat lighter toward 
Personality the center. Opens 7-9 blooms on a fairly long flower head. A huge 
massive variety that should be good for exhibition. A heavy propagator. Personally I didn’t 
care so much for the shade but probably I am too finicky. If you like the huge spikes you 
will certainly want Personality. 
; (BASsTIAN) (440) (Mid-season) Clear light pink. Opens 
Phantom Beauty up to 12 medium large wide open flowers with 6 more 
showing color. The blooms are closely set and I think would be better if a little looser. 
However this looks to me like one of the best of the newer varieties and should be- 
come a standard commercial pink and should be very popular as an exhibition variety. I 
can whole heartedly recommend Phantom Beauty. 
Piccolo Miniature, see page 45. 
Pillar or Fire (FISCHER-BAERMAN) (452) (Late) Deep fiery red of a distinct 
and intense glistening shade, different from other reds. Opens. 
9-10 medium sized blooms on a tall straight spike of 18-22 buds. Blooms are round and 
well placed and spaced. A very beautiful variety but being rather late should be planted 
early in the northern tier of states. 
Pink Charm (LASALLE) (452) (Early mid-season) Clear pink with a waxy 
aa ee SS" €6texture shading somewhat deeper in the throat. Opens 6-5’ 
blooms on a 50” spike. A very nice pink variety.
