on a long flower head. The florists to whom 
Mr. Marshall sells flowers take all they can 
get of this one. Its only fault with me was that 
it had a little misplacement. But that is some- 
thing that sometimes happens one year and 
doesn’t the next. 
Prosperity (ilva) (560) (47) (Mid. 
> an ae SECSON). SeeRulred =sportivol 
Picardy of light rose shade instead of the 
salmon. Has all the good qualities of Picardy 
with heavier ruffling. Very tall strong grower. 
Quite similar to Heart's Desire. 
Purple Supreme (Wilson) (470) 42) 
(Mid-season) Tall 
slender plant with many well placed bright 
purple blooms open. Smaller than some other 
purples but very strong consistent and easy 
doer. Popular cut flower variety.

Ravel (K x M) (477) (47) Violet blue 
——_ with reddish brown markings. A 
very nice new medium blue. Tall straight spike 
with several large blooms open. Looks like 
one of the best of the new blues. Good 
propagator.

Red Charm (Butt) (452) (39) (Early 
mid-seasony An old stand- 
ard medium red preferred by many growers 
to any other red of its shade. Opens 8-9 well 
placed blooms on a tall. straight stem. Does 
well everywhere. 
Red Cherry (Roberts) (450) (46) (Extra 
i=. on ime eearly eA: brightscarletred 
with darker throat. This has been called a red 
Picardy. Has been very nice with me. Opens 
6-7 blooms which perhaps should be in the 
500 class instead of the 400. Good propagator. 
Redowa (Butt) (436) (48) (Mid-season) 
~— A very nice scarlet, somewhat 
darker than Red Wing, more of a cherry red. 
Opens 7-8 5” blooms on a long head. Tall 
strong grower and fine propagator. Looks like 
a very nice addition to the red class.

with medium size somewhat ruffled blooms. 
Good tall straight stem and very nice for first 
early cutting. Heavy propagator. 
Red Plush (Baerman) (536) (43) Very 
early 7 hugesscleareisaimon 
scarlet. Opens 5-6 on a spike of about 16 
buds. The blooms are a little loose on the 
stem but coming in so early and being such a 
gloriously bright and beautiful variety it is 
picked up in our flower shop as fast as we can 
get the blooms there. Fine for the home garden 
but not a shipping commercial or an exhibition 
variety. Needs at least a medium size bulb to 
get blooms. Sma!l bulbs will make nice bulbs 
for another year but often do not bloom with 
me. 
Red Rascal (Graff) (550) (45) (Mid- 
Sapa eee re a SeUSOM) A. charmingly 
ruffled medium shade of red with a white line 
on the lower petals. Opens 7-8 on a tall 
strong husky plant. Much more ruffled than 
any other red | know of. Very nice. 
Red Wing (536) (48) This variety has 
~~ been aboot the best exhibi- 
tion red this past season. Opens up to 10, 
51% to 6” blooms with 6 more showing color 
on a long flower head with 22 or more buds. 
It is not only a grand show flower but will be 
a fine florist variety as it opens to the tip when 
cut in tight bud. It is an all around top notch 
variety that you can’t go wrong on. If | could 
have only one of the newer scarlets (God for- 
bid) | think | would take Red Wing. The color 
is a bright vivid scarlet lighter than Redowa.

Ivory white slightly tinted pinkish with in- 
conspicuous lines in the throat. Opens 8-10 
large blooms, sometimes reaching 7” on a very 
tall willowy stem. This past season this was 
outstanding with me tho color is not quite so 
clear as | like.
