lines, giving it a unique and distinctive ap- 
pearance. Medium height. Many will like this. 
Titan (Palmer) (532) (Midseason) Huge 
salmon rose which opens up 9 well 
placed blooms on a tall plant. A wonderful 
variety either for cut flowers or for exhibition. 
Produces fine spikes even from small bulbs. 
Some growers have called this Palmer's best. 
Tivoli. (K & M) (461) Lustrously beautiful 
———___ soft rose. Opens 8-10 well placed 
blooms on a tall strong plant. One of the very 
best pinks on the market. But doesn’t seem to 
make much growth from bulblets. 
Top flight (LaSalle) (560) (Midseason) 
— A beautiful shade of soft rose 
blending to a somewhat darker feather. Opens 
8 5”’ blooms on a slender willowy stem. About 
416 feet tall. One of the most beautiful 
varieties but has not propagated very fast for 
me. 
Trail's End (Ficht) (562) (Midseason) 
~~ Deep rose lavender with a 
creamy yellow throat. Somewhat the color of 
Fokelore but a little softer shade and larger. 
A fine all around variety. Opens 7-8 some- 
what ruffled blooms. Needs good culture to 
get long heads. But | consider it a very fine 
variety when grown under ordinary conditions. 
Trocadero (Lins) (422) (Early midsea- 
——~__ son) Carrot orange salmon, 
soft clean distinctive shade that is very at- 
tractive. Opens 5-6 5’” blooms with 5 more 
showing. A unique color and a variety that 
should be very popular. 
Trojan (Snyder) (422) (Midseason) Coral 
——_— pink blending to a buff yellow 
throat. Opens 8 or more heavily textured 
blooms on a tall strong plant. To me the color 
is not so clean as | like it but its big spike will 
put it over. 
Truelove (Klein) (440) (Early) Very 
—_—__ beautiful clear shell pink.

a sort of bronzy orange edged with smoky 
orange and a fiery orange red throat marking.

a rich coloring. Velvety smoky plum rose

light lavender sometimes flecked darker with 
small feather of a light violet. Opens 12-14 
huge blooms on long heads. Blooms often 
reach 6 to 7” right up the stem. Not a fast 
propagator with me. 
Tunta’s Wizard (Both)(582) Another 
smoky somewhat sim- 
ilar to Tunia’s Mahomet but a little lighter in 
color. Opens 9 and in Australia where it 
originated it is said to sometimes reach 12” in 
diameter. But it needs extra good culture to 
get that size. If you want to grow them as big 
as possible get this and give it plenty of water 
and some fertilizer and see what you can do. 
Tuts Both (Both) (422) Deep orange 
bluse. with, a small blue*blotch. At 
first | didn't like this color but this past year 
when | grew it from large bulbs it made such 
huge showy spikes that | fell for it. Really

a half a mile away.
