Skymaster (Salman) (541) Soft apple 
— blossom rose. Opens several 
well placed blooms of heavy texture. Good 
placement and attachment on long flower head. 
Very tall vigorous grower. Have had some 
very fine spikes of this this past year and have 
had good reports from others. Am sure it will 
be very popular when better known. 
Snowbank (Palmer) (500) (Midseason) 
lille —A very, beautiful” ruffled 
white with throat only slightly creamy. One of 
the whitest whites and one of the very best 
white varieties known. Sometimes the bulbs 
are a little temperamental. But this year they 
look fine. A large commercial grower told me 
it was the best white he had tho he did lose a 
few bulbs. A neglected variety but one that 
you certainly should try. 
Snow Princess (Pfizer) (400) (Early) 
Large milky white with 
creamy throat. An old variety but still one of 
the most popular cut flower whites. 
South Seas (Wilson) (491) (Midseason) 
— +... Orange gray on light slate 
background with deep orange and yellow 
blotch. A smoky that is entirely different. Tall 
strong vigorous grower with up to 8 6” blooms 
on a long head. 
Sparks (Glass) (510) (Late midseason) 
~~ Glistening light yellow with 
orange scarlet feather on the lower petals 
from which radiate lines of the same coloring. 
The originator called this an explosion blotch 
effect. Opens 7 large triangular blooms with a 
total of 16-18 buds. Good spacing between 
the blooms and good attachment. Tho this 
general color description is somewhat like 
several others it is entirely different. One of 
the showiest and best varieties | know of. 
Produces large bulblets that grow well. 
Spic and Span (Carlson)(432)(Mid- 
season) Tall ruffled 
medium deep pink of a nice clean shade. 
Opens up to 10 in the field with 8 more show- 
ing color. This variety is new but it has really 
taken hold. With the large amounts of stock 
that many growers have bought it is bound to 
be one of the most popular varieties. Good for 
both exhibition and cut flowers. 
Spind rift (Chase) (400) A creamy white

blooms open making one of the best exhibition 
whites on the market. An extremely good

championships at various shows.

———— son) Dark golden yellow with 
a small flaming scarlet blotch. Opens 6-7 on 
a very tall straight willowy spike. This is the 
most popular yellow variety on the market for 
cut flowers, tho of course it is not a clear 
yellow. Very attractive and showy and brings 
more money on the market than any other 
yellow. 
Spun Gold (Calmen (312) Early 
deep golden yellow with 
no markings. Opens 5-6 round plain petaled 
well placed blooms on a medium height plant. 
Had a lot of calls for it this past year from 
florists who thought it was the best yellow of 
the season.
