LEADING LADY (506) Johnston ‘42 (87) 
Creamy white with a lemon yellow throat. One of 
the most popular varieties grown. Opens up to 8 
perfectly arranged florets on a tall spike. Its fine 
commercial qualities are well known. Leading Lady 
still offers plenty of stiff competition at the shows. 
LEMON ICE (410) Jack ‘47 (Early) 
Light sulphur yellow with a deeper throat. Opens 
up to 7 beautifully ruffled florets on a long flower- 
head. A very rapid propagator, the bulblets make 
good growth. 
MARGUERITE (533) Pommert ‘39 (80) 
An attractive pink with a golden throat. Opens 5 or 
6 florets on a long heavy spike. Stem below the 
flowerhead is usually short. Plant is vigorous and 
bulblet production is ample but they do not germ- 
inate easily. 
MARGARET WOOD (570) Marshall °47 (80) 
Deep wine purple. Its unusual color attracts im- 
mediate attention. Florets are not well attached and 
occasionally are irregularly placed. Makes a 
medium tall plant. 
MID AMERICA (550) Knierim ‘47 (85) 
A clear brilliant light red. Opens up to 9 huge 
florets that reach 7 inches in diameter. Blooms are 
nicely placed on very long flowerheads. Attachment 
isn't bad considering the size of the florets. Spike is 
very tall and stiff. Foliage is heavy, bulblet plants 
standing waist high. Bulblets are produced heavily, 
they germinate very good, and make very robust 
growth. If you like them big, try Mid-America. 
Grand Champion at the Wheeling, W. Va. show 
this year (1948). 
MINSTREL (566) Palmer ‘44 (85) 
A large lavender pink. Flecks some in extreme 
heat. Opens up to 8 very large florets that have 
fine attachment and placement. Florets are ruffled 
and fluted. Makes a long flowerhead on a some- 
what short plant. Good increaser and grower. 
MISS VERMONT (540) Hatch ‘45 (80) 
Light pink, tinted lavender, shading deeper in the 
throat. It opens up to 10 well attached florets on a 
long flowerhead. Plant is of medium height. We 
cut Miss Vermont in quantity this year and it was one 
of the surprises of the season. Its delightful color 
blending is well liked by florists. 
MISS WISCONSIN (460) Kreuger ‘43 (90) 
A beautiful rose pink that is sought after by florists. 
Opens up to 8 blooms on a medium height spike. 
Less than an average propagator, it makes its bulb- 
lets late in the season. We always leave stock of 
Miss Wisconsin in the ground until the very last. 
Bulblets germinate and grow nicely. The demand 
for this variety has always exceeded the supply.
