ORANGE GOLD (422) (Marshall) (’45) (Early 
Midseason) Well named! A color marvel in 
gleaming golden orange. Wins instant attention 
in the florist’s show case. A tall husky orange 
that will go all the way as a commercial. Opens 
3 to 6 large wide-open florets in a single row on 
a spike of about 16 buds. Prolific. (L_ 1-75ce; 
10-$5.00) (M 1-50c; 10-$4.00) (S 1-35c; 10-$2.50) 
(Bibts. 5-35c; 25-$1.25) 
ORIENTAL PEARL (506) (Carlson) ('46) (Mid- 
season) A giant cream that is fine for milk- 
bottle artistry! Languid in form and meaning- 
less in message. Good grower. (L 1-$2.00) (M 1- 
$1.50) (S 1-$1.00) (Blbts. 1-25c; 10-$2.00; 10- 
$16.00) 
PANDORA (342) (B. Palmer) (’40) (Midseason) 
(Paul Pfitzer x H. Kansleiter) X Picardy. A 
likeness of Picardy but with fine growing habits. 
Beautiful shade of soft light pink that is win- 
some. Excellent cutting variety. (L 2-30c; 10- 
$1.00) (M 10-60c) (S 10-35c) (Blbts. Pkg. 25c) 
PAUL REUBENS (470) (Salmon) (’46) (Midseason) 
A new purple from Europe that is in the cellar 
for us though with but one season’s perform- 
ance. Poor color, bad placement, and rather 
weak. A litre of bulblets was purchased and 
but very few grew. Vulcan is far superior. (L 
1-15c; 10-$1.00) (Blbts. Pkg. 30c) 
PAUL REVERE (462) (Baerman) (’44) (Picardy X 
Red Pirate (Early Midseason) A glossy, velvety 
rose red that is wonderfully rich and unusual 
in color. Opens 4 or 5 blooms on fairly tall 
spikes but with rather short flowerheads. Good 
grower, medium decorative in size, and in- 
formal in arrangement. Truly a color marvel. 
Way down in price this year as we have a large 
stock. (L 3-25c; 10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 10-25c) 
(Bibts. Pkg. 20) 
POET’S DREAM (366) (Fischer) (Baerman) (’46) 
(Gloaming X Shirley Temple) (Midseason) In 
Poet’s Dream we have a contender for the most 
beautiful lavender. Its 415-inch florets are hand- 
somely ruffled, heavy textured, round in shape, 
and precisely set on tall, strong stems. The clear 
light lavender blends to a clean, creamy throat. 
Flowerheads are a bit short and the florets lose 
their color as they bloom toward the tip. Can 
easily be grown to 400 size. Ideal for makeup 
work; we have had some floral pieces that were 
Poet’s Dream’s indeed. An excellent grower 
every way. Does much better than Elizabeth the 
Queen for us. I am very fond of Poet’s Dream. 
(L 1-60c; 10-$5.00) (M 1-40c; 10-$3.00) (S 1-25c; 
10-$1.50) (Blbts. 5-25¢c; 25-75c) 
PURPLE SUPREME (470) (Wilson) (42) (Chas. 
Dickens X Paul Pfitzer) (Early Midseason) A 
tall clear purple that has been winning its way 
into the commercial field. An excellent basket 
flower because of its long flowerheads. Beau- 
tiful color. Color peeled during wet weather. 
(L 2-30c; 10-$1.00) (M 10-50c) (S 10-35c) (Blbts. 
Pkg. 30c) 
RAVEL (377) (K & M) (’46) (Midseason) A new 
dark blue from Europe with a reddish brown 
throat. Looks promising. Healthy grower. 
(S 1-40c; 10-$3.50) (Blbts. 4-25c) 
RED CHARM (452) (Butt) (39) (Early Midsea- 
son) (Com. Koehl X Picardy) A charm of red, 
indeed, and a very important variety. Opens a 
generous number of bright, round, well placed 
florets on tall, willowy spikes. Destines to be 
a must-have in every one’s garden. I am partial 
to Red Charm. King of the reds! (L 3-25c; 
10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 25c)
