RUBY RED (Young) (M) Well named, this is a clear rose red with 
many open florets. Stem medium-tall but flowerheads don’t 
stretch up as much as we like. Fast propagator. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .50, Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.20, 100—$9.00 
SEASHELL (Roberts) (ML) New large tall light pink. Florets aver- 
age 5% to 6 inches, with 6 open on straight spikes. The flat 
open smooth shell pink flowers are lightly ruffled and have very 
heavy substance and satiny texture. Not just another pink, but 
one that is truly distinctive; has to be seen to be fully apprec- 
iated. SEASHELL is one of our Premium varieties for 1948—one 
bulb given free with each order from this list amounting to $7.50 
or more. Only one bulb to a customer. Not for sale until 1949. 
SILVER STAR (E. B. Snyder) (M) Unique among the blotched whites 
in that its throat markings are a light purple or deep lavender 
in place of the usual red or rose blotches. Tall, very large, with 
7 round florets open at a time. A good grower and propagator. 
Bulblets rather small but germinate very well. Should become 
very popular. 
M .35, S .20, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00, 250—$4.00 
SILVER WINGS (Ritsema-Graff) (M) Another great favorite here, 
and in our opinion the best white Picardy sport. Large florets, 
nicely frilled, 7 open on fine spikes. Picardy growing and propa- 
gating habits, although it seems to make even more but smaller 
bulblets than Picardy does. Like Leading Lady, Silver Wings 
sometimes comes with one or several petals streaked with pink, 
attesting to the fact that it is a true sport. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Blts 2—.20, 10—.80, 100—$5.00, 1000—$25.00 
SPARKS (Glass) (M) Quite a spectacular new glad with unusual 
markings. A sister seedling of Coventry, but the contrast be- 
tween the deep cream ground color and the large red blotch 
seems more intense in Sparks. A tall grower, good propagator. 
Very aptly named; the uneven edges of the red blotch almost 
seem to be sparks shooting out toward the edges. 
M $2.00, S $1.25, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00, 25—$4.00 
SPIC & SPAN (Carlson-Puerner) (M) One of the really great show 
varieties, and we believe a good future commercial as well. 
From the cross that produced Gavotte (Picardy x New Era), 
this new one is a much darker shade of pink. Opens 7 to 9 well 
placed beautifully frilled florets on a long flowerhead, tall stem. 
Has won many Grand Champion awards and other prizes during 
the past two years. This is certainly one to get started with as 
oy as possible for exhibition and cut flower use. Propagates 
well. 
L $3.50, M $3.00, S $2.50, Bulblets .35, 10—$2.80, 25—$5.50 
SPOTLIGHT (Palmer) (EM) A great yellow, nothing else just like 
it. Golden yellow with a bright red throat; distinctive and very 
attractive. A good grower, making fine tall spikes, about 6 good 
sized florets open. Everyone likes Spotlight, and it is said to be 
a good shipping variety. 
L 50, M .35, S .20, Bulblets 10—.30, 100—$2.40
