MARION PEARL 
I like this variety better than Con- 
necticut Yankee although it is not 
quite as large. Salmon pink with 
bright pale pink throat. Spikes al- 
ways straight. Many open florets. 
MINSTREL 
Largest of the lavenders. Spikes a 
little short but flower heads are ex- 
tremely large and of fine medium 
lavender coloring. Slow propagat- 
ing, otherwise excellent. 
MISS WISCONSIN 
Always my favorite medium rose 
since the day I first: saw it as a 
seedling. Fine show record. Now 
grown in large quantities by cut 
flower growers everywhere. You 
need it, so stock up now. This year’s 
prices are very reasonable. 
MORNING STAR 
In my estimation the finest of the 
many Picardy Sports. Giant size 
florets, very white, fresh aud crisp 
looking. Well worth growing. Throws 
some Picardy reverts, but bulbs come 
from well roughed stock. 
MOUNTAIN GEM 
My choice of the giant reds. There 
were beautiful, marvelous spikes at 
our Wisconsin Show. Will be ap- 
proved as outstanding when more 
stock gets around. 
MT. INDEX 
A good substantial white cut flower 
variety. Has a cream throat. It 
will prove a profitable variety to 
grow. Quite early. 
MYRNA FAY 
A vigorous medium lavender with 
some flecking. Tall growing—many 
open. All size bulbs and bulblets 
will bloom. A good cut flower. 
NANCY 
The much talked about, high rating 
Nancy is now ready for you at a 
very modest price for a new variety. 
Makes tall spikes, deep red florets 
of excellent substance. Promises to 
be a good commercial. 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE 
If you want a good glad, try this one. 
Excellent in every respect. A rich, 
golden yellow with orange tones on 
outer edges. Opens about six beau- 
tiful florets on tall, straight spikes. 
One of the best. Don’t miss October 
Sunshine. 
OKLAHOMA 
Smoky grey with blue overcast. 
Popular and well liked. 
ORANGE GOLD 
A deep, rich orange. Only opens 4 
or 5 florets but has excellent color 
values. Spikes may crook but are 
artistic for florists work. Very good. 
ORIENTAL PEARL 
(See page20) 
PATRICIAN 
A choice self lavender of wonderful 
coloring. Large florets. Holds great 
promise to become a leading show 
and commercial variety. 
PAUL ROBESON 
Grows tall and opens the most florets 
of the new dark maroon varieties. 
Capable of winning at any show. 
PHANTOM BEAUTY 
Best of the new light pinks. Very 
formal spikes with ten or more open. 
Makes compact flower heads, ideal 
for commercial purposes. Grows 
easy. Propagates well. A good, all- 
around variety. 
PINK CHARM 
A waxy pink commercial, with deep- 
er pink throat. A good florists flower. 
PINK LACE 
A nice, large, compact flower head, 
composed of beautifully colored, pink 
toned florets. Medium height, but 
different than most pinks. 
PINK LADY 
Shell pink, with prominent white 
throat. Tall, very good. 
POINCIANA 
Another good, substantial red. My 
eyes ‘‘popped’’ open when I saw the 
first one bloom in my garden. Large 
6” florets, up to 8 open. Ruffled and 
fluted florets similar to Glamis of 
which it is a seedling. Makes good 
bulbs from bulblets. O. K. in every 
respect. I recommend it. 
PREVIEW 
Cerise rose, shading to white throat. 
Tall spikes, 7 open. Early and 
promises to be an excellent commer- 
cial. 
RED WING 
A radiant new red of great commer- 
cial promise. Its 60 inch spikes 
carry 22-24 buds, ten of which may 
open at one time. Of grand cham- 
pionship calibre. 
REDOWA 
Bright scarlet, somewhat darker 
throat. Five-inch florets, 7-9 open. 
Attachment good. Bulblets fast 
growing and usually flower. 
RELIANT 
You need a long growing season for 
this late giant white. By all means 
try it. Rated highly for hybridizing. 
RUTH ANN 
Outstanding and different in the 
lavender class. Large, heavily ruf- 
fled florets, deep orchid colored lip 
with the outer petals shading into 
lighter lavender-pink tones. Produces 
long 22-bud flower heads, with 8 
open florets. Healthy and a good 
propagator. 
SILVER WINGS 
Since I first saw this variety and 
pinned a winning seedling award on 
it at our Wisconsin show in 1945 
I rated it better than Leading Lady. 
A choice, ruffled white Picardy sport, 
prolific and easy growing. One of 
the best cut flower varieties.

hibition, low priced yellow. A clear,

Large, ruffled orange pink with

throat. Tall, vigorous grower and

SUN SPOT 
A most popular show variety which 
is destined to become a leading com- 
mercial. A giant, ruffled buff with 
some rose in throat. Its ability to 
open many florets on a tall straight 
spike makes it a leading show var- 
iety. 
TEXAS 
Tall, willowy, early pure white. Val- 
uable cut flower variety. Easy grow- 
ing and prolific. You need it to 
round out your cut flower list.

One of the very few foreign varieties 
I list, and one of the best imports. 
A clear, choice light rose. Straight, 
tall spikes. Fine color and an excel- 
lent commercial prospect.

Beautiful, tall pastel rose with 8 
open florets. Choice color and ex- 
cellent in every respect except that 
it increases slowly.

lavender rose. Spikes always straight 
and perfect for cutting. Will be a 
leading commercial.

A rich, attractive deep orange. Tall, 
vigorous, easy to grow. 
VENIDA 
Strong growing lavender with large 
cream throat. An attractive com- 
bination. Florets are ruffled, spikes

variety.
