blooms of heavy texture on a tall strong husky

uses. 
Mohawk (Stevens) (454) (Late midsea- 
son) 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.

Dasa cd iittle lighter than Spic 
and Span. Opens 8-10 5” usually well placed 
blooms on a tall straight plant. Grows 5-6 feet 
tall with a 30” head and a total of 20-94 
buds. This variety is a strong rival of Spic and 
Span and has its points over the latter. Does 
well everywhere and | consider it a first class 
commercial variety. Will be grown in quantity 
when better known. 
Mrs. A. B. Street (oth) (436) 
Warm orange 
scarlet with deeper red throat marking. Clear 
pencil line on lower petal. Grows about 4 
feet tall with several very large ruffled well

aia.) ))|~|6(S80). (Mid- 
season) A unique smoky color. Medium rose 
usually flecked and with a large red blotch. 
Varies somewhat at different times. One of 
the largest glads | have ever seen. Opens 9 
or more which sometimes reach 8”’ in diameter. 
A rather slow propagator so stock is always 
scarce. One that you surely want to get if you 
can. 
Mrs. R. G. Errey (rrey)(554)(Mid- 
season) One of 
the very best black reds | know of. Large 
flowers well placed and a tall plant. An all 
around fine variety. 
Multipetal No. 1. (Koerner) (206) 
sess ~CUVidseason) Cream 
with slight red feather deep in the throat. This 
has many extra petals making it a double 
variety. Its chief value is as a breeder as it 
transmits its doubling to its progeny. 

My Dear (Sisson) (440) A beautiful 
~~ shell pink that opens 7-8 ruf- 
fled wide open 5” florets on a long flower 
head. Will make a top notch commercial when 
stock is more plentiful. 
Myrtle Grace (Barrett) (466) Rose 
"“ —- — > ljavender. Ver early: 
Ruffled and wide open florets of which 10 are 
open at once and up to 8 in color. 44%” 
blooms. Very nice. 
Nadia (Leffingwell) (231) (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 arrangements 
and artistic decorations. A good breeder. 
Nancy (Arnett) (452) A new commercial 
~—— red that is claimed to be the best 
cut flower red 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 ata time this last fall | had magnificent 
spikes with up to 9 open. 
Newport White (oesterling) (400) 
This is a new ab- 
solutely pure white. Has good placement. 
Always tall straight spike. Opens well in 
water and good in every way except that it 
opens only 4-5 at a time. But in spite of that 
it will make a very useful cut flower variety. 
This past season we found that there were more 
calls for pure whites than creamy whites and 
this one surely is white. Every cut flower 
grower should get a start in this. 
Nila (Pruitt) (451) (Midseason) Dark red. 
——_ Opens 7-9 round well placed blooms 
with a total of 18-20 buds on a very tall 
always straight slender stem. This is one of the 
very best dark reds | know of and is the logical 
one to replace Black Opal when stock is 
available.
