Blessed Damosel (8cerman) (440) 
ii at aan ae. Ce) Owing 
shell pink that is one of the most beautiful 
varieties in the pinks. Opens 8 or more large 
round blooms that are finely but exquisitely 
ruffled. Stands the fall rains better than most 
other kinds. A very valuable cut flower 
variety but one that not many growers have 
tried, | don’t know why. 
Bloemfontein (K x M) (430) (Early 
nth aaenICOSSasOn) Large: oulty. 
salmon shading to pale yellow throat. Opens 
6-7 blooms of heavy texture. Very tall strong 
growing plant. Fine cut flower. 
Blue Beauty (Piitzer) (576) (Early mid- 
season) An old medium 
blue but still one of the best. 
Blue Bonnett (ecrmore) (476) One 
of the very best new 
blues. Opens 7 blooms with good placement 
and attachment. 
Blue Boy (Butt) (476) (Early Midseason) 
Deep violet blue with darker 
blotch. Opens 6-7 on a long head. One of 
my favorites. A fine one. 
Blue Giant (From Australia) (576) Very 
Dine mann iCiesiLOnd eOLOwing Blight 
blue with huge blooms. Its main fault seems to 
be that it has rather loose attachment but is 
fine for the home garden. Sold a lot of this last 
year and had many good reports on it. Prob- 
ably the largest of the blues and one of the 
strongest growers and a fine propagator. 
Blue Ice (Butt) (476) Light blue with 
—— somewhat darker throat mark 
edged pale yellow. The best light blue but not 
quite so strong a constitution as some others. 
Blue Lagoon (Gnyder) (478) (Early 
i) |) aime MTC sedsoneVied Lum 
deep blue shaded somewhat lighter in the 
upper throat. Darker than Blue Boy. Always 
tall straight healthy plant. Opens 4-6 good 
sized blooms. Better performer than most blues. 
Boise Belle (Roberts) (343) (Late) A 
~~ distinctive variety having 
the center of the flower yellow with a wide 
picotee edge around the whole flower and 
especially prominent on the edge of the yellow 
lip. Opens 9-12 heavily ruffled blooms on 
long flower heads. Should become very 
popular. But to get to the shows should be 
planted as early as possible. 
Boldface (Evans) (533) Deep salmon 
pink with a black red feather 
on a white throat. Very unusual and contrasty 
coloring with a spectacular effect. Opens up 
to 8 or more on a tall straight plant. Great 
show flower. 
Bonfire (Fischer) (436) (Midseason) A 
most glowing fiery scarlet. The’ 
most brilliant one of this color that | know of. 
This was very nice with me this past season 
producing a tall plant with 6-8 well placed 
florets open. 
Boulogne (Salman) (462) (Midseason) 
— Dark reddish rose or wine red. 
Opens 8 well placed blooms on a tall strong 
plant. One of the best of the dark shades. 
Bridal Orchid (Carlson) - (Puerner) 
Cid a Shari = lea eae COD) (Midseason) 
Pastel lavender. Opens up to 10 6” blooms 
with 6 more showing color on a tall strong 
plant carrying 22-94 buds. Opens well from 
tight buds and blooms from all sizes. A great 
show flower. Its main fault seems to be that 
under certain conditions it flecks somewhat. 
Expect it to be very popular. 
Brocade (Palmer) (470) (Late midseason) 
~ Medium height heavily ruffled 
clear reddish purple. Opens 6 or more. One 
of my favorites. Am sure you will like it. 
Bronze King (Rich) (580) (Late) 
lee aeeer -OMoOoth. msmokyaoronze 
with a brilliant orange blotch. Good texture 
and good keeper. Grows about 5 feet tall 
with a strong straight spike. 25’’ flower head 
with up to 8 514”” blooms open. Am sure you 
will like it if you like smokies. 
(Wilson) (490) 
Large rosy bronze 
that is very popular. An old timer but still 
going strong.
