b4 (BAERMAN) (440) (Early) Here is an early pink that should be- 
Salutation come very popular as a cut flower or for the home garden. It is a 
fresh clean light pink with small darker spot in the throat. Opens 6-8 round somewhat 
ruffled blooms of heavy texture. A good propagator and grower and one that every com- 
mercial grower should get a start in. It is really good. 
(Butr) (486) (Mid-season) Smooth smoky rose with white throat. 
Sandman With me it was more on the tan shade than rose. A beautiful smoky 
that is in tremendous demand. Everyone likes it. Opens 5-6 blooms on a tall straight spike. 
4 (MARSHALL) (560) (Late) Bright but soft rose salmon shading 
Sensation lighter in the upper throat with a darker feather. Opens 6 or more 
heavily ruffled huge massive blooms on a long flower head. An enormously tall strong heavy 
massive plant with a huge flower head that is so heavy that it sometimes bends over the 
stem if left to open in the field. But it doesn’t really crook. This has been a very popular 
variety. But the stock has gone bad with some growers. However mine this year looks nice 
and clean. A very nice variety. :

“ta. 4 (PFITzER) (401) (Early mid-season) Similar to Margaret Beaton in 
Silentium color but the blooms are not quite so large and the whole plant is 
more slender and graceful with a tall straight slender willowy stem. A very nice variety 
and preferred to Margaret Beaton if you like the more dainty and artistic blooms. 
< * (KUHN) (262) Small flowered early bright deep rose with silvery 
Silversides reflexes. Slender graceful spike. Medium height. Opens 5-6 with 
several more in color, with a total of 18 buds. A show winner in its class. 
Silver Wings (RitsEMA) (500) (Mid-season) White sport of Picardy that 
oe aE ected ~ head is whiter than Leading Lady. There is some controversy as to 
which is the better Leading Lady or Silver Wings. It is hard to say. But Silver Wings cer- 
tainly is whiter and more ruffled and very beautiful. Has all the good qualities of the parent 
Picardy. 
Sir Galahad (SALBACH) (511) Soft creamy yellow with diamond shaped 
a ©=CCrimson blotch. Immense wide open flaring blooms with 6 or 
more open at a time on a long spike. Very tall and straight. This variety has been very 
popular for years and is still going strong. Patented, so increase can’t be sold. 
Snow Princess (PrirzerR) (400) (Early) Large milky white with creamy 
ee ee, thiroat. Lall spike with several blooms open. This is earlier 
than Maid of Orleans and a much better shipper and I think better in most all ways. It is 
considered about the best of the low priced commercial whites. 
& arks (GLAss) (509) (Late Mid-season) Glistening ivory with an orange scarlet 
sparks feather on the lower petals. This feather is not heavy but has an explosion 
blotch effect. Opens 7 large fluted triangular florets with a total of 16-18 buds. Blooms are 
well spaced and firmly attached. Tall plant which makes a fair amount of bulblets which 
germinate well. This is a variety that strikes you right in the eye. With its wonderful color 
I consider it one of the very best of last year’s introductions and am sure it will be tre- 
mendously popular when well known. Hope to get some to the shows this year. The picture 
on page 38 falls far short of doing the variety justice as it really is one of the very best and 
should be included in any collection. 
Spic and Span (CarRLson) (432) Tall ruffled deep pink somewhat like the 
eee ee color, of. New Era, one of its parents. Opens, 10 in the field 
with 8 more showing color, with a total of 20-22 buds. Tall straight spikes and good place- 
ment. This variety has won a lot of prizes the past two years and looks like one of the really 
good new commercials. By all means try Spic and Span. You will not be disappointed. 
(Butt) (406) (Early mid-season) Clean clear light blue. Opens 8 well 
Stardust placed blooms on a medium height straight stem. Very nice light blue.
