SPARKY 
An orange-red self that does not burn. Like so many 
of its color, propagation is not good, but bulbs are 
sound and long-lived. Florets are 5% in., ruffled, wide- 
open. The 24 in. head on a 55 in. stem carries 6 open. 
A glad of lively charm in the 524 class, it must be seen 
to be appreciated. 75 days. 
AUTUMN FIRE 
This brilliant autumn color with its volume of bloom 
on every spike does not come into wide-spread floral 
use until late summer. Our stock is small and never 
will be large owing to the late sales season. 
However, it is well worth growing for its prodigal 
bloom and bright color at a time when both are in de- 
mand. Red-orange and yellow, in the 536 class, 19 
buds on a 60 in. spike, AUTUMN FIRE is well named. 
90 days. 
QUEEN BESS 
QUEEN BESS has a slightly recurved round 5 in. 
floret of a clear white that seems whiter by contrast 
with the fuchsia blotch on the lip petal. In tne 401 
class, it carries 6 open, 6 in color and opens up well. 
The growth is uniform and the strong, straight 50 in. 
spike carries a 25 in. head. QUEEN BESS handles 
easily and works well alone or with other flowers. 
80 days. 
LAUREL LEE 
Rose Marie Pfitzer seedling. A live salmon-pink self 
with large ruffled wide-open florets that open well. 6 
. to 8 florets are held open on a long flowerhead. Large 
bulblets from any size bulb always germinate without 
special treatment. LAUREL LEE is a tall grower and 
some spikes will crook in the sun. It is easily grown, 
depencable and a money maker in any collection. 85 
days. 
MORNING SUNSHINE 
The bright yellow of MORNING SUNSHINE, set off 
by an edge of light pink, attracts immediate attention. 
For good measure, the flowers are ruffled, creased and 
wide-open. A 490 entry, it has long-lasting florets that 
keep their color in bright sun. 75 days.
