1951 Descriptive List 
orange pink with soft scarlet feather. Opens 
6-8 florets with heavy substance. Good place- 
ment and attachment. Looks like a coming cut 
flower variety. A little inclined to have short 
heads but good culture should correct this. 
Sultara (Pruitt) (483) Sister seedling of 
Fandango and somewhat like it 
but a darker shade. It is a smoky salmon rose 
with a large smoky blotch. Opens 6 well 
placed blooms. Very attractive and one that 
shows up from a distance. 
Summer Gal (Zimmer) (542) (Mid- 
season) Nice geranium 
‘pink with rose feather. Opens 7-8 somewhat 
ruffled blooms on a very strong rugged plant. 
Nice cut flower variety. 
Sundance (Almey) (412) (Midseason) 
——_— Ruffled medium yellow self. 
Opens up to 8 or more 5” blooms on a long 
head. Tall strong vigorous grower. Have had 
many fine reports on this many saying that it is 
the best yellow they have seen. When well 
grown it is tops and a sure comer. 
Sunday Best (Pletcher) (462) Nice 
—— light rose lightly tinted 
lavender blending to a creamy throat. Opens 
6-8 large blooms on a long flower head. Tall 
strong vigorous plant. Blooms are well placed 
and strongly attached. Should make a grand 
cut flower variety. 
Sunspot (Roberts) (417) (Early midsea- 
~— son) Light apricot buff with sub- 
dued rose spot in the throat. Opens 7-9 5” 
blooms on a tall spike. A beautiful color and 
top notch all around variety. Great show 
winner and just as good for cut flower use. 

Susannah (lake) (440) (Early mid- 
~~ season) Heavily ruffled clear 
pink shading to white throat. 5-6 well placed 
triangular shaped blooms on an 18 bud spike. 
Heavy substance, good attachment and one 
of the most beautiful decorative varieties | 
know. In great demand by florists for extra 
nice arrangements. 
49 
Swing (K &M) (400) Another pure white 
variety that opens a lot on a tall 
straight plant. Fine propagator. 

Ta rawa (Palmer) (436) Gorgeously col- 
~~ ered ruffled scarlet with two 
white lines on the lip. Nicely waved and 
ruffled. Opens up to 12 blooms on a long 
head. But under poor conditions the stem is 
inclined to be short. However with good 
growing conditions it will get up to 41% feet 
or so. To me this is the most gorgeously beauti- 
ful red | have ever seen. Price is down now 
to where you can buy it. Don’t pass it up if 
you like the reds. 
Templar (Palmer) (400) Late) Clear 
~~ ereamy white. Opens 6-7 well 
placed and ruffled blooms on a long head. A 
fine white to follow Florence Nightingale and 
somewhat resembling that variety. 
Terrific (Wilson) (412) (Early midseason) 
~~ Deep canary yellow opening up 
the most blooms of any yellow | know of. It 
will open 12-13 large blooms on a very long 
flower head and a plant that will get up to 
516 feet and over. Should make a grand ex- 
hibition variety and also a commercial and a 
must have for the home garden. Opens well 
in water to the last bud. 
Themesong (lein) (570) Mallow pur- 
Sain we De. Wine sce CyYClanien 
blotch. An unusual color. Tall straight spike 
with 7 or more well ruffled blooms open. The 
ladies like this. 
The Roan (Pruitt) (590) Rosy red cov- 
~~ ered with fine silvery parallel 
lines giving it a unique and distinctive appear- 
ance. This is not at all like Candy Cane, 
Candy Splash or Calico Queen but has fine 
lines regularly placed and hardly noticeable as 
such. This variety was grand with me this past 
season and | am sure that anyone who likes 
something out of the ordinary will fall for this 
variety. It is one of my favorites. Carl Fischer 
says he likes it very much.
