gorgeous lavender | know of. Has a long 
_head with 5 or 6 open and under good cul- 
ture grows plenty tall but with poor culture is 
inclined to have a short stem. But it is a variety 
well worth growing and giving your best. A 
good breeder. 
Miss Chicago (Buchheit-Krueger) 
TiSaa. ios OOO) eal nist ise cca Vvony. 
beautiful light rose with lavender cast that 
will open up to 10 6” blooms on a 24”” head 
of 20 buds. Beautiful variety that has won 
many prizes. Does not propagate too fast but 
does well from old bulbs. Very healthy. 
Simply gorgeous. 
Miss Vermont (Hatch) (540) (Mid- 
| =i lanes a sedson) Lightpink fint= 
ed lavender shading somewhat deeper in the 
throat. Opens 8-10 well placed blooms on a 
nice willowy straight stem. Good grower. 
Miss Wisconsin (Krueger) (460) (Late 
midseason) Beautiful 
unusual shade of lavender rose. Opens 6-8 
5” blooms. A distinctive and unique color. 
Nothing like it. Good florist variety. 
Mistaya (Ketcheson) (586) (Midseason) 
— ~~ Smoky lavender sport of R. B., a 
variety that has often won for largest flower 
in the show. Very vigorous. 
Modena (Pruitt) G12) Clear deep yel- 
a. Smee alow with a slight ‘marking-in 
the throat. This is a very beautiful variety and 
one of my favorites but not a fast propagator. 
However for a deep yellow in the home 
garden you can’t beat it. 
Modern Times (alman) (562) Light 
wine red with two 
creamy yellow lines on the lip. Opens 6-8 
blooms of heavy texture on a tall strong husky 
plant. This is a color that everyone likes. Good 
both for the home garden and for commercial 
uses. 
Mohawk (Stevens) (454) (Late Mid- 
~~~ season) Dark glistening velvety 
red with no markings. Opens up to 8 well 
placed 5” blooms. More brilliant color and 
more beautiful than Black Opal tho doesn’t 
open so many at a time. 
Montpelier (Hatch) (440) Clear pink. 
ann. Dens e=1 Ome: «usually 
well placed blooms on a tall always straight 
plant often reaching 5-6 feet in height and 
with a 30” head and total of 20-24 buds. 
In the past | have compared this with Spic 
and Span as so many people wrote me that 
they liked it better than Spic. However it is 
really more nearly the color of Picardy and 
with Picardy going bad in so many places and 
Montpelier being so near the color and being 
such a wonderfully fine performer in the field 
| think it is the logical variety to replace 
Picardy where the latter is giving too much 
trouble. All those who have grown Mont- 
pelier are enthusiastic about it. 
Mrs. R. G. Errey (€rrey)(554)(Mid- 
season) One of 
the very best black reds | know. Huge flowers 
well placed on a very tall plant. Sometimes 
bends a little so should be planted deep. One 
of my favorites. 
Mit. Baker (Cave) (506) (Late) Flesh 
—— white blushed pink or light 
lavender shading a little deeper toward the 
edge and in the throat. Very large blooms 
well placed and of heavy substance and well 
ruffled. Grows 56” tall with 8-9 open. Have 
had some nice reports on this this past year. 
“One glad that | am particularly interested 
in, one that | would like to build a stock of is 
Mt. Baker. This one certainly appealed to me 
and to Mrs. Udell. It does look fine, good 
grower, fine spikes and a color that should 
appeal to everyone.”—Ronald S. Udell— 
Wash. 
My Dear (Sisson) (440) Nice shell pink 
— that opens 7-8 somewhat 
ruffled wide open blooms up to 5” in size. A 
good commercial prospect. 
Myrtle Grace (Barrett) (466) Rose 
Pin ine  civender = ers early, 
Ruffled and wide open florets of which 10 are 
open at once and up to 8 in color. 414” 
blooms. Very nice.
