blooms. Has fine delicate ruffling. Just the kind 
of a flower that the progressive florist and 
arrangement maker will delight in. 
Dolores (Vasaturo) (240) (Very early) 
~ Pink with white throat. A de- 
lightful small flowered variety of nice color 
and form. Opens 5 with a total of 10-12 buds. 
Might be classed as a miniature but really a 
little large for that. 
Donella (right) (40) (Early) Nice 
~ medium size pink with white 
throat. A good florist variety but should be 
planted just as early as possible so as to get 
the early blooms. Does best from large bulks. 
Dorothy Armstrong (Milo) (470) 
(Midseason) 
Medium shade of purple with no markings. 
Opens 8 414” blooms, on a head of 20 buds. 
Grows up to 5 feet tall. Good grower and 
propagator. A coming cut flower purple. 
Dryad (Chase) (480) Opens 6-7 5” 
~~~ wide open florets with as many 
showing color. Smoky light rose with cream 
blotch. Good texture, placement and attach- 
ment. If you like the smokies be sure to try this. 
Dusty Miller Elliott) (486) (Early Mid- 
season) Smoky, old rose 
with distinctive cream lines. One of the most 
popular smokies. 
Eglantine (Scheer) (540) (Late mid- 
— season) Very beautiful large 
clear warm pink blending to a light cream 
throat. Opens 7-8 heavily ruffled blooms.

of gorgeous color and form. 
Elegy (Baerman) (366) Early clear lav-

slender 4 foot stem. Very nice for early cut 
flowers. 
Elizabeth The Queen (White) 
aaa) IVC 
season) Beautiful clear lavender mauve with 
darker lines in the throat. Opens 7-8 heavily 
ruffled florets of beautiful form. This is the 
standard lavender now and by far the most 
popular both for cut flower work and for 
exhibition. Also it is one of the very finest for 
breeding. There is a whole flock of new 
seedlings coming along now with Elizabeth as 
one of the parents. At the present there is 
nothing better in a lavender at the price. 
Ethel Theresa (Vasaturo) (206) Small 
informal. Ruffled cream 
white with wine feather in the throat. Opens 
5 3” florets with a 16 bud head. 
Eureka (Fairweather) (500) (Midseason) 
~~ This is a white sport of Picardy 
and is claimed to be better than other white 
sports as it is whiter and has better attachment. 
Tho not quite so large as Leading Lady, where 
it is grown in quantity the florists prefer it to 
other whites. 
Evangeline (Palmer) (560) (Midseason) 
i) ate Very slignk rose swith a 
creamy throat. Opens 8-9 huge beautifully 
ruffled blooms on a head of 29-94 buds. | have 
seen many spikes with 12 open. A grand 
variety and one of the very strongest and most 
vigorous growers both from bulbs and bulblets 
that | know of. Has had a lot of publicity 
which it well deserves. Occasionally has a 
misplaced floret. But one of the very best in 
spite of this. 
Evenglow (Chase) (524) (Late) A red 
— 9range shading to light sal- 
mon in the throat with the lower petals clear 
light yellow. This is one of the most beautiful 
and strongest growers of the Chase strain. 
Makes a big husky plant. Florets are heavily 
ruffled and well attached. May be a little 
late for the most northerly states but bloomed. 
alright here this past season. 
Fabulous (loSalle) (443) (Early mid- 
~~ season) Deep pink with large: 
cherry red blotch bordered cream. Opens 6 
5’’ blooms on a tall strong plant. Good reliable 
and easy grower and propagates well.
