KRIEG ORIGINATIONS 
We present for your selection the following 
1947 and 1948 Registered Introductions 
RUTH ELAINE 
This is a must-have in the 440 class, a true light pink 
with no trace of salmon. RUTH ELAINE has ruffled 
and lacinated florets of a delicate and fragile, almost 
elusive beauty. But don’t be misled—the flower can 
take it. A sport of Picardy, it yet has little resemblance 
to this much sported variety. A real buy at the price. 
90 days. 
ON THE BEAM 
Here is a yellow that is tall and vigorous in growth; 
a yellow with attractive fuchsia spot on a clear medium 
yellow floret; a yellow with a long flowerhead that 
holds from 8 to 10 open; a yellow with sound, healthy 
bulbs; a yellow with a large round wide-open floret. In 
any color it would be remarkable. In a yellow, ON THE 
BEAM is a world beater. In the 411 class, it is a win- 
ner at shows as well as in the shop, and makes 
beautiful spikes from small bulbs. 85 days. 
FIRST FROST 
FIRST FRCST is a pure white glad. The florets 
look you in the eye and are excellently placed and ai- 
tached on a good head. The texture and keep:ng 
qualities are better than average. Bulblet production is 
best from small bulbs and germination is good. In the 
400 class, the florets are round and wide-open and the 
stem is heavy. Report from Mrs. K. when first seen: 
“You ‘have to see it to believe it and then you think it 
isn’t so.” 84 days. 
HOME RUN 
HOME RUN has 5% in. florets opening so wide and 
so closely spaced that the volume of bloom is stupen- 
dous. In dry years, the head has a tendency to shorten. 
We would like to see what irrigation would do for this 
variety. Just field-grown, with its heavy straight stem, 
its creased ana ruffled florets, its distinctive markings 
of darker pink on a light pink background, HOME 
RUN is well liked and is as much a standby in our 
garden as its parent Picardy was in earlier days. 77 
days. 
INDIAN GIRL 
Dusky rose with a deep rose throat, a large wide open 
floret, good growth and ‘habits, INDIAN GIRL has 
everything except height. The unusual and appealing 
color puts it on our list anyway. 85 days.
