Evenglow (Chase) (524) (Late) Reddish 
orange shading to light sal- 
mon in the throat with lower petals a light 
yellow. One of the most beautiful and strongest 
growers of the Chase strain. Heavily ruffled 
and well attached florets. Makes a strong 
husky plant. 
Fairyland (Kadel) (360) Heavily ruf- 
—_ fled medium rose with a 
small darker throat mark. Opens 6 4” florets 
with 6 more showing color. 15-16 bud spike, 
medium height. Nice decorative variety. 
Falcon (Woods) (566) (Midseason) A 
very beautiful lavender of an 
unusual shade. To me this is one of the very 
grandest varieties | know of. Opens 5-6 and 
even up to 8 large blooms with a total of 29 
buds. Florets are ruffled, recurved and needle- 
point. This certainly should become one of the 
most popular varieties both for cut flower use 
and for the home garden. To me it is a ‘must 
have.’’ Would hate to do without it. 
Fandango (Pruitt) (483) White tinted 
pink with a smoky blotch 
shading out to scarlet around the edge. Two 
dark reddish lines on the lip. Opens 4-5 large 
well placed blooms on a tall plant. 
Fay (Jack) (460) (Early) Ruffled pink with 
——~ cream throat. Opens 7 or more well 
placed blooms. This can be very nice and use- 
ful for an early cut flower pink. 
Fieldmaster (Woods) (441) Beautiful 
clear cameo pink with 
heavy midribs and yellow lip. Heavily ruffled, 
rolled back petals. Opens 8-9 on a strong 
plant reaching 5 feet and over with a long 
head. Good keeper and propagator. 
Firebird (Kuhn) (436) (Midseason) Clear 
———__ brilliant scarlet. Opens 6-8 
blooms ona tall plant with a long flower head. 
Very nice. 
Firebrand (Butt) (452) (Midseason) 
Glistening medium red of a 
distinctive shade blending to a slightly darker 
throat. Opens up to 10 or more well but rather 
closely placed blooms with very firm attach- 
ment. Tall slender straight spikes. This is dif- 
ferent from any other scarlet and | consider it 
especially good. Makes beautiful dark red 
bulbs. 
Firegleam (Jock) (436) (Early) Large 
~  @xhibition type fiery scarlet 
with a heavy white line on the darker lip. 
Heavily ruffled. Tall strong grower with 8-10 
blooms open. Fine exhibition variety. 
Florence Nightingale (Harris) 
Sn ae ee ras 4 6-88) 
(Midseason) Opens 6-8 well placed ruffled 
blooms on a long head. | consider this one of 
the very best whites on the market and as soon 
as stock is available will become a standard 
commercial white for cut flower use. You can 
make no mistake on this one. Tall strong husky 
plant. 
Flying Fortress (Wilson) (586) (Late 
Mis yee oe .micsecson). + About 
tops in smokies. Light smoky gray with an 
enormous head of bloom. Opens up to 12. | 
think this can beat anything on the show table 
in the smoky section. A spike is a bouquet in 
itself. 
Folklore (Butt) (462) (Early midseason) 
Dark pink with a creamy white 
throat. Medium tall plants with straight spikes, 
with 18-20 buds and 7-8 open. This is a new 
and unusual shade that is certainly bound to 
be very popular. Will make a grand florist’s 
variety. 
Fort Garry (Gloss) (452) (Late mid- 
season) Deep velvety red. 
Opens 7-8 slightly waved 5” blooms on a 20 
bud head. Heavy texture and good place- 
ment. It is a shade somewhat like the old Rewi 
Fallu which everyone liked. Very heavy 
propagator. Its main fault is that occasionally 
the bottom floret is misplaced. A healthy one. 
Francesca (loben) (466) Here is a 
———__ variety that is bound to be- 
come one of the most popular in the whole 

“| had a swell field of gladiolus this past summer and several asked me where_| got the 
bulbs so you may have some new customers from this vicinity.”
