Sonnet 543—85 Days 
An immense medium pink self color, is very deep late in season, 
during cool weather. Open 6 to 8 florets between 6 and 7 inches 
on a 28-30 inch head of 18 buds. Grows 55 inches high. Sonnet is 
a tremendous propagator. I sold a good portion of my planting 
stock to a Florida grower this spring, consequently the price is still 
high. This will make an excellent show variety as well as a cut 
flower when more stock is grown. Florist in my locality prefer 
Sonnet to Picardy. Large $2.00; medium $1.50; small 75c; bulblets 
5 for $1.00. 
Glow 420—70 Days 
A top notch early cut flower variety, considered by many growers 
as the best early cut flower glad on the market. All reports on 
Glow have been excellent. The only fault that I can find with 
Glow is that I wish it had a few more buds. It will make from 16 
to 18 buds on a 24 inch spike, under field conditions. Opens 6-8 
florets, 5% inches across on a spike that is always straight, and 
doesn’t vary more than a few inches in height. Rev. Rohrbach says 
that “A block of Glow looks like a well trimmed hedge, very even.” 
Foliage grows low but spike grows from 55-60 inches high, makes 
plenty of large bulblets which all grow and sometimes bloom. The 
price of Glow would be much lower if I hadn't sold a good portion 
to a southern grower. Commands top prices in the early market. 
A glowing orange salmon, on the buff side, blending to a lighter 
throat. Large $1.00; medium 60c; small 40c; bulblets 10 for $1.00.

Marietta 232 
One of the prettiest decoratives that I have ever seen. A lacy 
lacinated deep pink floret with a yellow throat, reminds me of a 
larger edition of China Doll. If you grow China Doll you will 
appreciate Marietta. Won first for me in its class at Binghamton. 
Won three firsts at Dover, single spike, three spike and seedling. 
Marietta will win plenty of blue ribbons. Any size bulb $1.00. 
No bulblets this year.
