stock. It originated about 50 miles from my 
place and | must have been asleep when it 
was introduced. 
Lorna Doone (8cerman) (530) (45) 
Huge salmon pink with 
creamy throat. Nice tall strong grower. Opens 
5-6 blooms. One of the latest varieties. We 
had blooms of this after everything else had 
gone by in the garden. 
Lucky (Jack) (366) (47) (Mid-season) 
——__— Clear medium size lavender with 
a small cream throat. Nice éasy grower and 
good propagator. Opens 6-7 medium size 
blooms on a tall slender willowy stem. We 
used lots of these in our flower shop this past 
season where they were very popular. 
Manchu (Beatrice Palmer) (513) (45) 
— (Mid-season) Brilliant yellow 
overlaid with a flush of pink and with a small 
vivid geranium red blotch. An exceedingly 
showy variety. Blooms are somewhat ruffled 
and wide spread and nicely spaced on a very 
tall wiry stem. 6-8 open with a total of 18-20 
buds. A fine basket glad. Nice for anyone 
who likes the strong contrasty colors. 
This is another variety that has been over- 
looked because when | first introduced it it 
didn’t propagate well and | didn’t have much 
stock. But now it is coming along good and 
propagates very well. The placement of this 
variety is not always ideal but the blooms are 
beautiful from any angle. One of my favorites. 
Mansoer (Salman) (454) (47) (Mid- 
season) Blood red on brown 
ground overlaid by a dark brown glow. Some 
might call this a smoky but it really is not but is 
a new dark shade that | haven't seen before, 
and very pretty. Opens 8 well placed blooms 
on a tall straight wiry stem. 
Margaret Beaton (womey) (401) 
Lilli, 5a an ere oO.) SCCOnyamid= 
season. Pure snow white with a small orange 
scarlet blotch. 6-8 well placed blooms open 
on a long head. Tall strong growing plant. 
Popular commercial tho there isn’t so much 
call for this color now as there used to be. 
The florists usually prefer a white without a 
blotch. But for home gardens it is fine.

shading darker on the edge. Lighter in the 
upper throat with a darker feather on lip. 
Opens 8-10 huge blooms with a total of 
18-90. A nice variety growing up to 5 feet 
tall. | haven’t grown this but saw it in Mr. 
Hatch’s garden this past summer and brought 
some spikes home and was very much taken 
with it. Those-who like the large blooms and 
good color will be well pleased with this 
variety. 
Marlene Both (8cth) (430) (43) (Very 
ci. <a aneCOrly) Brilliant but 
delicate creamy salmon pink with a deep 
creamy buff throat. Nicely ruffled. A really 
beautiful variety that has won awards for the

all glads.

maroon red with orange scarlet shadings. 
Slightly ruffled well placed blooms of heavy 
texture. Opens up to 8 at a time. This was

Meee | eng SeCSON) Formal white. 
Opens 8 blooms with rolled -back petals and 
creamy throat with 6 more buds showing color.

the highest scoring seedling during the NEGS 
seedling show season in 1946, scoring 91. 
Was the highest scoring seedling in the 
Waltham, Mass., field station in the 1946 trial 
gardens. An ideal variety in its size class.

“~~ season) Huge buffy pink border- 
ing on the salmon. Blooms are wide and 
flaring and of heavy substance. Opens 5-6
