“—~——__ lavender sheen in throat and mid- 
ribs. Tall straight plant with 23’ head of 
which 6-8 large blooms are open at once 
with 6 more showing color. 18-20 bud total. 
Fine florist variety. 
June (Vasaturo) (360) (Early midseason) 
White with wide rose border or a 
rose with a large white throat whichever you 
want to call it. Opens up 6 medium size florets 
on a 16-20 bud spike. A beautiful variety. 
Nice for arrangements. 
June Rose (Marshall) (462) Tall 
straight early rose with 
good placement and attachment. Have not 
grown this myself but have heard very fine 
reports on it. Most everyone says it is the finest 
early deep rose in commerce. 
Kardinal Spellman (Sc!man) 
elo se, (570) Large 
reddish purple. Opens several huge well 
placed blooms on a good spike and a tall 
rugged plant. Should be more popular when 
stock is available. 
Kawatiri (upich) (516) (Midseason) 
— One of the most beautiful 
pastel buffs. It is a buff with a creamy throat 
and tinted pink on the edge. A fine variety 
tho inclined to crook a little in hot weather. 
Kestrel] (Palmer) (422) (Midseason) Light 
“salmon orange with creamy throat 
which is bordered by a band of light orange. 
A unique color. Opens 8-10 with a total of 
20 buds on a tall straight spike. A first class 
cut flower variety. Very tall sturdy plant. 
Kim (Palmer) (362) (Late) Deep purplish 
~~ rose of medium height or better. 
Opens up to 10 or more always well placed 
lightly ruffled blooms on a long head. Strong 
attachment. A very richly colored variety but 
one that should be planted as early as pos- 
sible especially in the northern states. Those 
in the middle states might get it to the shows 
if planted very early. It would be a knock-out 
at the shows. 
King Alfred (Hobbs) (522) (Early 
midseason) Orange sal- 
mon with cream blotch. Opens 6 huge wide 


35 
open blooms on a head of about 16 buds. An 
unusually strong vigorous grower. 
King Click (Wilson) (452) (Midseason) 
> sos een Bright scarlet©pensiupito 
9 wide flaring blooms on a long flower head. 
Sometimes the bottom bloom is misplaced. 
However it is one of the best light reds. 
King of Hearts Galbach) (543) (Mid- 
season) A huge vari- 
ety sometimes producing flowers up to 8” or 
so in diameter. One of the largest glads 
grown. Opens up to 8 with a flower spike 
reaching 30’. A huge spike of bloom with a 
good stem. But under certain conditions and 
in some places the stem bends over. Color is 
a deep salmon or coral red shading to salmon. 
Great variety for the show table. Patented, so 
increase cannot be sold. 
Ladrone (Palmer) (433) (Medium late) 
———__ Color is somewhat like Beacon 
but softer and with less contrast. By the color 
chart it is a light rose doree shading to scarlet 
petal tips with a large yellow blotch. Opens 
up to 8 with several more showing color. 
Going to be a very popular variety when 
better known. With me it does best from 
medium or large bulbs. 
Lady Marian (White) (466) A light 
a ann aeers savender nat “should 
make a fine cut flower variety. Makes a tall 
strong plant with a lot of blooms open. But to 
have it at its best it should be opened inside 
where the color improves very much. This has 
been really good for me this past year and 
with a more attractive color than | thought it 
had. 
Lady Wayne (Deam) (530) (Midsea- 
son) Large clear salmon 
pink shading to a slightly deeper throat. Opens 
8 wide open well placed flowers with strong 
attachment. Strong grower and propagator. 
Opens well when cut in tight bud and so 
should make a good shipper. When this 
variety is better known | predict it will be a 
popular cut flower variety.
