4 x (462) (Jack, 1939) (70 days) (Early Rose x Picardy) A 
Rose Delight e ¢ ¢ medium rose that we have used a lot for early cutting. 
Smooth suede finish. Dependable. Cuts well from 4’s and 5’s. Prolific.

Rose oO Day e e ® Dream O’Beauty) Distinctive in color, massive in size 
is lovely, sturdy Rose O’Day. She is just that! Opens 10 large bright rose florets on tall 
arrow-like spikes. Plants are especially robust and make excellent growth from bulblets. 
An outstanding commercial. Fills a distinct need in its color class. Pictured on page 
36 and on back cover.

“Rose O’Day has done very well for us. We like its vigorous growth, tall strong stems, 
and, particularly, its unusual and fine color. It should have a great future.” 
— C. C. Marshall, Ontario 
Ruffled Beauty * a *x (410) (Prestgard, 1936) (80 days) A light yellow 
¢ of unusual personality and ruffling. Opens 5 to 6 
blooms on a medium length stem. Lovely for floral pieces. Though it is not new, it is in- 
valuable because of its ruffling and clear lemon coloring, for combining with the other ruffled 
pastels. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (Blbts. Pkg. .20)

Salman’s Glory aa (507) (Salman, 1947) (80 days) A European 
visitor that has come to stay is Salman’s Glory. 
A rich creamy yellow coloring, with a prominent red blotch combined with giant size, 
places it in the class where it is badly needed. Growers are unanimous in praising its fine 
field habits and ease of propagation. (M 3-.20; 10-.70) (S 10-.40) (Blbts. Pkg. .25) 
Seedlings, Mixed [Bloomed} " 's n°cessaty, to grow a_ large 
number of seedlings in order to 
find one that meets all the qualifications of a new introduction. Thousands are tried, one 
is named. This mixture is composed of seedlings that are mighty fine but not world 
beaters. If you are looking for something different, you'll surely get it here. One of the 
best buys in my catalogue.

Seedlings {Unbloomed)} Again we saved the bulblets from our 
unbloomed seedlings and planted them. 
They came from such parents as Rose O’Day, Elizabeth the Queen, Red Charm, Spotlight, 
Arethusa, Orange Gold, Gratitude, White Christmas, Beauty’s Blush, and choice seed- 
lings. Bulblets were from the lot from which we made our 1948 selections. We have had a 
great many fine testimonials regarding these seedlings. For your enjoyment; sizes 5’s and 
6’s mixed. Nearly all will bloom this year. (10-.50) (100-3.50) 
“I have here before me as I am writing this note, the most beautiful and perfect 
white spike of any variety I have ever grown and that includes Leading Lady, Solveig, 
White Magic, White Christmas, Snow Princess, Maid of Orleans, Leading Light (new this 
year from Barrett) and a few others. 
“It is from your unbloomed seedlings that I purchased from you early in the Spring 
of 1947.” —S. E. Taylor, West Virginia 
e Wi * *& * * (500) (Ritsima, 1944) (90 days) (Picardy sport) 
Silver ings om ean? Similar to Leading Lady but much whiter; really 
a white. Opens a goodly number of 6 inch florets on tall stems. A variety to be reckoned 
with at the shows. Has won a long string of blue ribbons. The florists like it. A fine glad.

Snow Flurry eee sport) Another white sport of Pier igiee won our 
hearty approval last summer. We loved it for its absolute purity of color, suede texture, 
precise arrangement, and excellent attachment of florets. Will make an excellent commer- 
cial. Fine grower. All the cream or white sports of Picardy, as Eureka, Leading Lady, Silver 
Wings and Snow Flurry, will have an occasional pink stripe in the floret. More rarely a 
‘plant will sport all the way back to Picardy again. Snow Flurry is pictured on page 36.
