LIGHT ORANGE—20 
DAISY MAE, big and rugged, is a nice color with an attractive blotch. It likes to grow and 
needs no pampering. JANET LEE, blooming this year from young stock, showed a great im- 
provement. 
DEEP ORANGE—22 
ORANGE GOLD is of wonderful color. Its growth, straggly in appearance, is very robust. 
Foliage, remaining green until digging time, is disease resistant. BITTERSWEET, apparently 
not widely known, has the unusual coloring of a purple throat against deep orange. We 
believe it will become very popular. 
RED ORANGE—24 
CRACKER JACK is a fine grower and a good color. It also blooms early. Although ORANGE 
PRINCE is of medium size, it is a rugged grower. With us it is almost a red. Mr. Lins’ 
TROCADERO is a beautiful clean color. The description “carrot color” belies its beauty. It is 
very rich. 
LIGHT SALMON—30 
GAVOTTE is a fine light salmon with good keeping qualities. BENGASI crooks badly in our 
midwestern heat. It makes marvelous spikes when conditions are to its liking. We like LADY 
WAYNE with its wide open florets of light salmon shading deeper in the throat. APRIL has a 
nice clear color but showed some misplaced florets. We have tried to coax EGLANTINE into 
growing but it is still far too short. 
DEEP SALMON—32 
SPIC & SPAN has been well received. Straight and tall, it is a stellar performer in every 
respect. It is a real pleasure to cut spikes of SPIC & SPAN. DIEPPE is one of our favorites. 
A brilliant salmon scarlet, it never fails to attract attention. It is a fine commercial variety. 
Dr. Knight's HIHO with 10 open on a very long flowerhead is impressive. PIONEER has size 
and vigor. GENGHIS KHAN has beautifully ruffled florets of clear color and heavy substance. 
SCARLET—36 
RED WING gave us some thrilling spikes, beautifully ruffled florets on long flowerheads. Cata- 
loguers’ stocks will probably reach the vanishing point before spring. Dr. Graff's INTRUDER 
is noted for its fine color and ability to take the heat. HIAWATHA boasts many fine qualities. 
Its formal spikes are of pure scarlet. MOUNTAIN GEM is a beautiful shade of scarlet but 
only opens 5 or 6 here. The older ALGONQUIN is still popular—so much so that we never 
have enough stock to last throughout the season. 
LIGHT PINK—40 
HEART'S DESIRE is destined for great popularity. It has superb qualities and beauty of color 
and form. Beautifully tinted MISS VERMONT surprised us with its consistently fine spikes. 
A reliable performer, LADY LUCK, gave us nice tall spikes. PHANTOM BEAUTY repeated its 
good performance of a year ago by giving us spikes of perfect formal placement. Grown in 
quantity this year, we realized its fine commercial qualities: perfect placement and texture, 
straight spikes, ability to open well in water, heavy propagation, and easy growing habits. 
JUNE DAY led our parade of early blooming varieties. Commercial consideration must be 
given BEAUTY'S BLUSH; it is a great variety. We admired YANKEE LASS with its fine color 
and long spikes. CONNECTICUT YANKEE continued its winning ways; it is very popular 
with garden visitors. LADY BOO is a nice clean pink and a healthy grower. We wish we 
had a larger stock of VARIATION, the florist variety par excellence. For soft pastel coloring 
DEBORAH SAMPSON is exquisite. 
The most critical evaluator would be sure to find his selection in this class. 
DEEP PINK—42 
COVER GIRL with its long flowerhead and tall growth is winning favor with the fans. Its 
giant spikes are taking honors regularly. For rich coloring SUMMER GAL is a standout. Its 
propagating qualitites are a little below the average. TROJAN will really produce the bulblets 
but it is not outstanding here. The attractively blotched variety FABULOUS is very popular, 
PINK CHARM has nice deep coloring; the spike is good but the plant grows short. CHERRY 
JAM's deep pink color with a cherry blotch is unusual. Opening many florets of nice clear 
color is SPELLBOUND. We think highly of PANDORA. It is a beautiful soft pink holding 8 
open in the field; we believe we have missed something especially nice. It should have been 
in our plantings long before this year. With BOISE BELLE, seeing it was wanting it. We could
