1949 Introductions 
We have been made very haopy with the permission re- 
cently received to offer for your consideration two of 
the finest introductions we have had the opportunity to 
view. Mr. Walter Krueger of Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, cur- 
rently offers an ponenrererey rose, Miss Chicago. Shown 
at many of the 1947 and 1948 shows, it was a consistent 
winner in the seedling classes and receives my whole~hearted 
endorsement as a show winner and coming commercial, We also 
have Krueger's new ruffled commercial white to be known as 
La Belle. Ruffled glads have as a whole shown a lack of 
opening qualities but not La Belle,--it will without a doubt 
take its place at the head of the list as a top ruffled com- 
mercial, 
The following are Mr. Krueger's descriptions. I 
accept them 100%: 
MISS CHICAGO 460 (Buckheit-Krueger): 
The beautiful color of Miss Chicago, rose with a 
lavender cast, and with an inverted yellow crescent is 
very appealing to both florists and fans. It opens 8 or 
more giant florets at one time on good spikes with a 20 to 
24 inch flowerhead which carries 18 to 20 buds. It is a 
conservative producer of bulblets which germinate well. 
Its beautiful color and formal floret arrangement 
carried it to important wins: Champion seedling, Kankakee, 
I11.3; Champion three spike seedling, Kohler, Wis., and 
Champion seedling and American Home Achievement Award win- 
ner at Garfield Park, I1]1. all "48. 
Priced: L. $5.00 Me. $4.00 S. $3.00 
No bulblets offered. 
LA BELLE 406 (Krueger): 
A fine, heavily ruffled cream white glad of excellent 
commercial habit and with a fine health record, The vigorous 
low growing plants of La Belle allow the fine spike to be 
cut without foliage damage. The spikes which carry 5 open 
florets on a 26 inch flowerhead of 20 buds, grow to a field 
height of 54 inches, La Belle is a fast propagator of easy 
to grow bulblets which grow into husky plants and good-sized 
bulbs. It blooms in about 85 days,
