TAHLEHNEKA (Miller-Kaylor ’42) 412 
A tall growing medium yellow with a light influence of green that is not too 
conspicuous. It opens 6 florets on a good spike. 
TARAWA (Palmer-Gove ’46) 436 
Fiery scarlet with cream spears and 8 open florets in formal arrangement make 
Tarawa with its imposing spikes a very fine exhibition variety. Its bulb habits coupled 
with bloom traits make it a variety of commercial promise. 
TEXAS (Buchannan-Bork ’47) 500 
HKarliness bud cut opening qualities, and other fine habits make Texas a very 
promising commercial. Its color is creamy white with a creamy center. The florets 
are of giant proportions, and good attachment. It is a tall variety. Recommended 
as a commercial and exhibition variety. 
TIVOLI (Van Konnynenberg ’46) 442 
One of the pleasant surprises of the season was Tivoli with the much needed pink 
color like that of the older Coryphee, a beautiful warm toned pure pink. Tivoli 
opens up to 8 florets at one time. It is a fine commercial. 
TOPFLIGHT (LaSalle-Arenius ’46) 460 
The sharp rose pink of Topflight easily attracts attention. Its fine color and its 
habit of opening many florets outweigh its fault of lack of ‘‘tip finish’’. Foliage of 
Topflight ripens early. 
TRALEE (Krueger ’47) 460 
A spike maker from all bulb sizes, and under all conditions. Its distinctive silvery 
rose color, its trait of opening 8 or more florets, good propagation and consistent 
performance, and its early bloom season make it a great commercial. The number 
of open spikes will not exceed the crooks of other commercials in number, and florists 
approve of it. Highly recommended. It is an early variety that does not fleck. 
TREASURE ISLAND (Lins 747) 542 
A beautiful blend of pink and lavender pink tones. Growers have a high regard for 
this fine pink. Treasure Island is a variety of real merit. 
TROCADERO (Lins 746) 422 
Salmon scarlet Trocadero has already won favor both for its color and fine performance. 
Its color rival is but one, Dieppe. 
TROJAN (Snyder ’47) 
A deep pink of good height and a variety that increases very rapidly. It blooms in 
late mid-season. 
TRUELOVE (Klein ’45) 440 
The soft colors of pale but bright pink Truelove with its cream white floret centers, 
regular performance, and early bloom habit make it an excellent variety. Truelove 
will reach success as a commercial variety, and it will please the fan and exhibitor. 
VENIDA (Milo ’47) 460 
A fine future is predicted for bold blotched Venida—rose with a large creamy white 
center. It opens 8 florets at one time. It achieves its maximum color effect when 
several spikes are together in a basket or vase. Venida is an excellent variety. 
WAX MODEL (Krueger ’46) 400 
Give the florist an opportunity to select his white and the invariable result is the 
choice of Wax Model. Its emaculate white color enhanced by its small lavender 
spear is unusal. The fact that it is tall and early and a fast propagator make it a 
commercial. It opens 5 florets on a 20 inch flower-head. 
WHITE CHALLENGE (Arnett-Janes ’47) 501 
The soundly attached florets of White Challenge with the pale pink blotches and 
8 cr more open, make a very imposing spike. It is an excellent keeper. A mid-season 
variety, of much commercial promise. It is a winner of record. 
WHITE CHRISTMAS (Fischer ’48) 500 
White Christmas is so heavily ruffled that the term corrugated could be more correct. 
It blooms in early season. Spikes with ccrrectly placed florets reach the ultimate 
in beauty. It will ‘‘pink’’ under some conditions. Its rate of bulblet production 
is unknown to me at this writing.
