Golden Salmon Improved. A medium growing poly, semi-double, small 
cupped cluster-bloom, noted for its unfading golden-salmon tone; very, very pretty 
in border or for mass effect. 1.25 
Goldilocks. Patent 672. Bushy, spréading plant, with bright glossy foliage; 
blooms in panicles of five to ten; crisp, well-curled buds open to 214 inch flowers of 
bright, butter-cup yellow, fading more gracefully than most yellows in this class. 
We are inclined to agree with Fred Edmunds, Oregon—‘‘Best bedder of its color 
to date.” 1.50 
Ideal. Low growing, to about 18 inches—spreading. Dark, velvety crimson, 
which holds its color well, and is an unusual shade in the low-growing Polyanthas. 
Best in its color range. 1.00 
Improved Lafayette. Rather upright, vigorous grower to 214 feet, bloom- 
ing profusely in heavy clusters of semi-double, crimson-red blooms. Unexcelled 
for mass effect; continuous bloom. 1.00 
La Marne. Medium grower and one of the most prolific bloomers. Its cluster 
blooms are blush white, edged pink. Thriving all over the Lester gardens, even 
without summer irrigation. A prime favorite. 1.25 
Margo Koster. Very low growing; blooms in large panicles of semi-double, 
ranuncula shaped flowers, with orange-red and salmon tones predominating; no 
mildew. The “glamour girl” and leading protege of Mrs. Judith Packard, Los 
Angeles, who sums up her enthusiasm in these words—‘Everblooming, evergreen, 
healthy and happy.” 1.00 
Marytje Cazant. (Mary Casant.) A dwarf polyantha, producing big clus- 
ters of waxy, unfading, coral-pink blooms—the happiest ever. Mrs. Packard can 
have her “glamour girl.” We like Marytje better. 1.00 
Ming Toy. Patented. Rather tall-growing; miniature old-type, deep rose 
blooms, en masse. We quote from the experts—‘“‘The dainty petals are so precisely 
placed, the brilliant rose colored flowers compare with a miniature Camellia.” And 
again—‘‘Plants are exceptionally rugged, constantly in bloom; the cut sprays make 
beautiful long-lasting flower arrangements.” 1.50 
Mrs. R. M. Finch. Grows to 3 feet, when uncontrolled, and equally broad. 
Flowers in impressive clusters, of 2 inch double blooms, rosy-pink—its habit of 
changing first to blush then white, creating a varied and most pleasing color effect. 
Viewing Mrs. Finch last spring, in a big display of polyanthas, this writer recorded, 
“VERY pretty pink, spreading, great clusters; healthy; outstanding!” 1.00 
Nypels Perfection. Medium growing; described “thydrangea-pink, shaded 
rose-Neyron-red.” In clusters. Vigorous, spreading; well regarded. 1.00 
Orange Triumph. Low growing to two feet, unusually healthy foliage. 
Many of you will tire of reading the much-mentioned catalogue comment that 
“orange” is not the word for it (except in Germany where it originated) and some 
fine day, perhaps somebody will suggest, for American commerce, it be called 
Scarlet Triumph, Coral Triumph, or anything but orange. For this is a remarkably 
fine Polyantha and should not be handicapped by a deceptive title. If you have never 
grown any polys, and are gingerly approaching the possibility of doing so, begin 
with Orange Triumph, and you will be off to a mighty fine start. 1.00
