(E—Early; EM—Early Midseason; M—Midseason; LM—Late Midseason; L—Late. 
Star (*) denotes those considered especially suitable for exhibition.) 
5 bulbs at half the 10 rate. 
25 bulbs at twice the 10 rate. 
100 bulbs at 7 times the 10 rate. 
*ABENAKI (FE). Vivid orange that will not fade or burn in the hottest 
sun, opening 6 or more well arranged blooms on a 414-foot spike. It is 
a great keeper, husky grower and good propagator, certain to become 
popular as an early cut flower. 
*ABU HASSAN (M). Clear dark blue, stiff and noncrooking. It opens 
6-8 4-inch florets on an 18-bud spike, and though comparatively new to 
this country it is going like wildfire and will soon displace Pelegrina 
as the most popular dark blue. 
ALADDIN (M). Gorgeous bright salmon with cream blotch, many 
huge ruffled blooms open at once. An old variety but a color that is 
hard to beat and of robust growth. 
*ALGONQUIN (E). Brilliant glowing scarlet with 8-10 wide open, 
ruffled needle-point florets on a tall straight plant of exceptional size 
and vigor; one of the best early commercial reds. 
*AVALON (M). Bright rosy pink shading to a creamy throat, with 
8 or 10 nicely ruffled blooms open on a long head. A comparatively 
recent and very fine variety, with the single fault that it will sometimes 
crook in hot weather. 
*BADGER BEAUTY (M). A fine light lavender blending to a lighter 
throat, plain-petaled florets well placed on tall wiry stem with 6-7 open; 
does not fleck or crook. 
BAGDAD (E). Very large soft old rose ash, a unique smoky color not 
found in any other glad. Recommended for early planting only as it 
likes cool weather. 
BARCAROLE (LM). Clear grenadine orange, of smooth texture and 
THAN ruffled with 6-7 open at once; one of the few good ones in this 
color. 
BEACON (M). Bright rose-doree scarlet accented by a large cream- 
yellow blotch extending deep in throat, a spectacular combination which 
has made it a leader in the cut flower market. 
*BENGASI (M). The sensational new show winner, a fine clean shade 
of LaFrance pink with large white throat area on which are a few in- 
conspicuous lines, of the largest size and beautifully ruffled. It opens 
up to 9 6%-inch wide florets at once with 6 more showing color out of a 
total of 18 to 22 buds; tall and strong plant reaching 70-75 inches when 
well grown. In hot summers it may require staking and extra water 
but well repays it, and is especially fine in the Fall when many other 
kinds are not at their best. 
BETTY NUTHALL (L). Standard salmon pink with yellow throat, 
growing tall and strong; another old-timer still valuable for late cutting. 
BIT 0’ HEAVEN (L). Clear deep orange with contrasting yellow throat 
giving two-tone effect, showing color on all buds and opening 10 to 12 
at once; first-class cut flower and rapid propagator. 
*BLACK OPAL (M). Rich glistening black-red, with many open on a 
long flower head; very strong and showy, the best low priced one in 
its color. 
*BLACK PANTHER (E). A sensational flower, the largest real black- 
red with 6 florets 6 inches in diameter opening at once out of 21 buds 
on a 22-inch head. Most growers consider it the best dark red yet in 
the giant class and those who like this color should not miss it.
