SUMMER GAL (Zimmer-Graff) (M) A very large deep salmon pink, 
small deeper throat marking. Well placed florets, perhaps a little 
crowded on the spike, making a striking ribbon of attractive 
color .The florets are nicely ruffled. A fine grower; just a fair 
propagator. Has been a good winner at the shows. 
M $2.00, S $1.00, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00 
SUN SPOT (Roberts) (M) In last year’s catalog we said “Sun Spot 
should become a great show variety as well as a fine commerc- 
ial’. Its 1947 performance has certainly justified our prediction, 
with three grand championship awards, one 2nd Day Cham- 
pionship and numerous other winnings. Commercial bulb and 
cutflower growers are now stocking up in quantity, indicating 
their confidence in its commercial value. For the benefit of 
those who have not yet seen it, SUN SPOT is a yellowish apricot- 
buff with rose red spot in the throat. 7 to 9 large florets, nicely 
ruffled, open on a tall straight stem, long flowerhead, It is a 
very strong grower, a good propagator, with bulblets germinat- 
ing well and making fine growth. If you don’t have it yet, this is 
the year to get started with Sun Spot. We will probably be sold 
out of large bulbs before the season is over, but should have 
plenty of medium and small, and it is a fine bloomer from all sizes. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.00, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00, 100—$16.00, 
1000—$112.00 
SUSANNAH (Lake) (EM) A beautifully ruffled, daintily colored 
variety of medium size and height. Pure pink shading lighter to 
a white throat. About 5 or 6 florets open at a time. 
M .30, S .20, Bulblets 10—.35, 100—$2.80 
SUSQUEHANNA (Herridge) (M) In florescence this variety rivals 
Heritage at its best (it is a Picardy x Heritage seedling), but in 
color it is quite different—a light creamy buff. Opens a lot of 
large round plain petalled flowers on good stems. Like Heritage 
we find it makes a percentage of short flowerheads, but not as 
bad in that respect. We like Susquehanna very much. Makes lots 
of small bulblets, 
L .20, M .12, S .08, Bulblets 35—.25, 100—.60, 250—$1.20 
TAHLAHNEKA (Miller-Kaylor) (EM) This is an Indian name mean- 
ing “Golden Treasure”. However it is not a golden yellow, but a 
very large plain petaled medium yellow. It is quite popular here 
in the western states; we believe it to be the largest yellow. 
Opens 6 to 8 six-inch florets on tall spikes, Fine propagator 
and good germinator. 
L .20, M .15, S .10, Bulblets 40—.20, 100—.50, 1000—$3.50 
TECUMSEH (Palmer) (M) An older smoky variety that we still list 
on account of its unusual color and petal formation. Florets are 
ruffled, fluted, and often laciniated. The color is quite attract- 
ive too; a soft lavender gray with a small rose feather, A little 
variable in performance, but makes a good percentage of fine 
spikes, and is much admired as a novelty. 
L .25, M .20, S .15, Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.00 
Nothing was good during the worst of the drought; later on RED 
CHERRY gave us fully 90% fine spikes although planted on poorer 
higher ground than the other varieties. (Mrs. L. E. M., Indiana)
