Strathnaver (Pesittic) (500) This is a 
very sensational white 
glad. Makes the largest spike | have ever seen 
in a white variety. Blooms not always well 
placed but opens 9-11, 6-7” florets on a very 
tall willowy spike. With so many open and 
such large blooms you are bound to get a 
really sensational spike. Not a fast propagator 
so will not get cheap too soon. If you want 
the big ones this is it. 
Strawberry Peach (Sclbach) (533) 
(Midseason) 
Large wide open beautifully ruffled bright 
orange pink with soft scarlet feather. Opens 
6-8 florets with heavy substance. Good place- 
ment and attachment. Looks like a coming cut 
flower variety. 
Sultara (Pruitt) (483) Sister seedling of 
~~ Fandango and somewhat like it 
but a darker shade. It is a smoky salmon rose 
with a large smoky blotch. Opens 6 well 
placed blooms. Very attractive and one that 
shows up from a distance. 
Summer Gal (Zimmen (642) (Mid- 
season) Nice geranium 
pink with rose feather. Opens 7-8 somewhat 
ruffled blooms on a very strong rugged plant. 
Nice cut flower variety. 
Sundance (Almey) (412) (Midseason) 
—— Ruffled medium yellow self. 
Opens up 8 or more 5” blooms on a long head 
with up to 26 buds. Tall strong vigorous grower 
that has proved itself this past season. Was put 
out with some ballyhoo but it deserves it. For 
an all around exhibition and cut flower yellow 
I think it is tops. A lighter shade than Robt. 
Alan. Have had many fine reports on this. 
Sunlight (Spiller) (416) (Midseason) 
~— Blending of orange and yellow 
giving the general color effect of light orange 
with a golden throat. One of the most beautiful 
in its shade that | know of. A basket of it at the 
Boston show two years ago was something to 
remember. Needs good culture to get the long 
heads of which it is capable. 
Sunspot (Roberts) (417) (Early midsea- 
~~ son) Light apricot buff with 
subdued rose spot in the throat. Opens 7-9 
5"” blooms on a tall spike. A beautiful color 
and top notch all around variety. Great show 
Winner and just as good for cut flower 
uses. 
Supreme Beauty (Bastian) (432)

somewhat ruffled blooms and several more

Susannah (lake) (440) (Early mid- 
~~ season) Heavily ruffled clear 
pink shading to white throat. 5-6 well placed 
triangular shaped blooms on an 18 bud spike. 
Heavy substance, good attachment and one

season) Clear peach 
buff with creamy throat. Opens 8 4-5” blooms.

Tarawa (Palmer) (436) Gorgeously col- 
——_ ored ruffled scarlet with two 
white lines on the lip. Nicely waved and 
ruffled. Has a long head with up to 12 open. 
But the stem is a little inclined to be short. The 
whole plant is only medium height. But | think 
this is the most gorgeous scarlet | have ever 
seen. 
Templar (Palmer) (400) (Late) Clear 
——__ creamy white. Opens 6-7 well 
placed nicely ruffled blooms on a long head. 
Quite similar to Florence Nightingale but 
later. One of the best whites.

blotch. An unusual color. Tall straight spike 
with 7 or more well ruffled blooms open. The
