1951 Descriptive List 
Nadia (Leffingwell) (331) (Midseason) 
——— An alluringly beautiful small flow- 
ered variety that everyone likes. Upper petals 
are bright salmon and lower ones deep yellow. 
Opens up to 8 or more well placed blooms 
with plenty of space between them giving 
the appearance of airiness. Fine for arrange- 
ments and artistic decorations. A good breeder. 
Nancy (Arnett) (452) A new. con- 
— mercial red that is claimed to be 
the best red cut flower in existence. Opens 
7 434” blooms with 7 more showing color 
with a total of 18 buds. Grows about 52” tall 
with good placement. Good propagator and 
a healthy variety. Smooth medium red shading 
a little darker in the lip. Tho it is claimed that 
it opens only 7 at a time this last fall | had 
magnificent spikes with up to 9 open. 
Nellie Lou (Lines) (542) Flesh pink 
with small strawberry throat 
mark. Grows 51% feet tall and always straight. 
Opens 8-10 huge florets on a 20 bud spike. 
Good keeper and shipper. One of the best 
but rather slow propagator. 
Newport White (Oesterling) (400) 
ne \OOut. the. whitest 
variety | know. The spike is always straight 
and tall. Blooms are well placed and attached. 
The main fault of this variety is that it only 
opens 4 or 5 ata time. But for local florist’s 
work where a pure white is wanted this fills 
the bill. 
New Yorker (Graff) (440) Delicate 
~~ shade of pink with some- 
what lighter midribs. Small throat marking and 
a little red peppering in the throat which 
brightens up the flower. Opens 6-8 usually 
well placed blooms with a total of 20-292 
buds and a head up to 30” long. Tall straight 
wiry stem. Good propagator. 
Nila (Pruitt) (451) (Midseason) A very fine 
dark red that opens up 7-9 in the 
field. Blooms are large, round, well placed. 
Stem is always straight and slender. One of 
the very best dark reds and one that should 

41 
replace Black Opal. Not a fast propagator 
tho fair to good. 
Noweta Rose (fischer) (560) (Mid- 
~~ season) Sensational rose 
that has already won a lot of popularity tho 
introduced only last year. Color is a clean 
lavender rose somewhat lighter than Cha- 
mouny. Grows 5 feet tall with 20-94 buds of 
which 6-8 are open ata time. A fine color and 
all around good variety that is destined to be- 
come a standard variety. Has won lots of 
prizes. 
Nubia (Chase) (452) Dark, almost black 
~ red with slightly darker lip. Grows 
416 feet tall with long head having 7 open 
and 8 more showing. This is one of the best 
of the Chase varieties and appeals to me very 
much. 
Nugget (Chase) (410) Clear light yel- 
—— low with no markings whatever 
but shading slightly darker in the lip. Opens 
6-8 out of 19-20 buds. | understand this is 
fast becoming popular with the Florida 
growers. 
Ocean Spray (Berman) (306) (Early) 
~~ White with a beautiful 
amber spot in the lip. Opens 5-6 well placed 
and spaced blooms with good attachment. 
This is only a 300 variety but coming so early 
it has been one of our most valuable and 
popular cut flowers for our flower shop. Not 
many have grown it but those who have like 
it and for early florist’s use it fills a unique 
place. 
October Sunshine (Quackenbush) 
(420) Light 
orange shading to a yellow throat. Very nice 
color. Opens well in water and is becoming 
very popular. | think you will like it.
