Nubia (Chose) (452) Dark, almost black 
~~ red with slightly darker lip. Grows 
41% 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 yellow 
~— with no other marking whatever 
but shading slightly darker on the lip. Strong 
vigorous plant with broad dark green leaves 
with 19-20 buds of which 6 or 8 are open at 
a time. This was really very nice with me this 
past season. Looks like one of the better 
yellows. 
Ocean Spray (Baerman) (306) (Early 
midseason) White with 
a beautiful amber spot on the lip. Opens 5-6 
well spaced blooms giving the spike a fine 
airy decorative appearance. Tho this is not a 
large flower it has been very useful for us as 
an early white to use in the flower shop. 
Comes on when there are no other whites to 
be had. 
October Sunshine (Quackenbush) 
aim ~onmmnoremenmernes 0 40()) eae ht

Ogarita (Willson) (432) Rose salmon. 
~~ This is the one | call my flower- 
ing telegraph pole. Opens 8 large blooms of 
heavy substance on an extremely vigorous 
plant. One year | had it 7 feet tall with 45” 
flower head and grown on pure sand. Grand 
exhibition variety. One that will be appreci- 
ated by the florists who want long stems and 
big heads. 
Ohio Nonpareil (Wilson)(450)(Mid- 
ce nnn SedsOn) Lorde bright 
clear scarlet with up to 9 blooms open on a

wonderfully well in Florida.

able.

Mr. Pruitt the originator called his favorite. 
Big husky plant. 
Opechee (Deam) (486) A different 
“smoky. Smoky old rose with 
lavender overlay and carmine feather on 
lower petals. Opens 8 well placed 5”” blooms 
on a tall straight spike. This is a smoky that is 
very well liked by the florists as it is not too 
bizarre like some of the smokies. 
Orange Gold (Marsh) (452) (arly 
midseason) Clear beau- 
tiful medium dark orange gold. Opens 4-6

plant. A very nice variety for any purpose.

very popular as a cut flower sort, also for 
exhibition.

Very strong vigorous plant and a 
beautiful flower. Lots of good reports on it.
