NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
This year we are not offering any new introductions of our own. We bloomed 
a number of seedlings, as in previous years, and among them were some very 
promising varieties; especially fine were several beautiful ruffled pinks and 
whites and some very outstanding large yellows with long flower spikes, 
also some in the orange shades. 
Stock of these is very limited, but we hope to be able to offer several next 
season. 
RECENT INTRODUCTIONS OF OTHER GROWERS

rieties are listed in our catalog. We can supply the following new varieties:

cided improvement over the older blues.

BUTTERSCOTCH (Langworthy). We did 
not grow this in 1948, but we did see it 
growing in several locations. In our opin- 
ion Butterscotch ranks with the best new 
introductions. The color is a very rich 
shade of yellow with pastel blotch of 
orange on lower petals. The blooms are of 
good size and are well placed on a long 
straight flower head. As many as 8 open at 
one time. Clean healthy grower, good in- 
creaser.
