a eens season) One of the 
largest glads grown, sometimes reaching 8” 
or more. Opens 5-7 ata time ona plant of 5 
feet and over. Color is soft pink between 
LaFrance and geranium pink. Patented, so 
increase cannot be sold. 
Grenadier (Palmer) (416) A new and 
—— distinctive shade of light 
orange buf. Opens 7-10 wide open blooms

~~ scarlet self. Opening 6-7 or 
more well placed blooms of heavy texture. 
Good placement and attachment. Stands heat

good culture makes 10 leaves before the

huge blooms of which it is capable. 
Harry Hopkins (a!man) (554) (Mid- 
“eee aaeene mane season’ Large deep

well placed blooms on a tall straight stem. | 
consider this one of the very best dark reds. 
Hawkeye Red (Heston) (450) (Mid- 
i... — season) Brilliant medi- 
um red sport of Vagabond Prince. This looks 
to me like a coming commercial red. It should 
replace some of the other old timers on the 
market.

tana wily ruttied light: pink 
shading to white with yellow throat. Heavy

gray with creamy throat. A color that is 
beautiful. Opens up to 9 lightly ruffled always 
well placed blooms with rolled back petals. 
Extremely tall sturdy grower, often up to 6 
feet high. One of the very best smokies for 
exhibition and should be used more by florists 
as it works in very well with yellow or orange 
in arrangements. 
High Life (Kk & M) (376) (Early) Clear 
~— light blue. Tho not a large 
flower it is one of the best light blues and good 
grower and propagator. Many open ata time.

Clear deep rosy salmon shading to 
clear white throat. Never flecks. Opens 8-10 
on a 30” flower head with a total of 20-99

same strong growth but with better colored 
florets A winner at the shows and a fine cut 
flower variety. 

Huntress (ack) (466) Light pinkish 
~ lavender. One of the first to 
bloom and on that account makes a good 
florist variety. Sometimes flecks but it is not too 
obiectionable because of that. Good seller. 
Good culture and plenty of water will do 
wonders with this variety.

| think this is an unusually good orange that 
will make a first class commercial.

Gove bulbs.”’
