which are reddish lines. Beautifully ruffled and 
of heavy substance. Don’t miss out on these 
small flowered varieties. 
Uncle Tom (Salman) (454) (Midseason) 
7) wee LDeepebrowne purplish smd- 
roon. A color different from other dark reds. 
My stock which came direct from Holland may 
be slightly mixed with Grand Monarch but 
either one is well worth the money. 
Vagabond Prince (Palmer) (91) 
=a nae (Ld codson) 
Very beautiful distinctive colored variety. 
Mahogany brown shading lighter in the throat 
and with a small fiery red blotch. Opens 8-10 
well placed blooms. Unique color. 
Valeria (. S. Pruitt) (436) Carly mid- 
———_~ season) Light scarlet of a dif- 
ferent shade. Opens 5-7 slightly ruffled 
blooms. A good shipper and among the big 
Florida growers it is about the only red grown. 
Vangold (Van Voorhis) (312) Early 
—_ — clear deep golden yellow. 
6-8 4”’ blooms open on a medium height plant. 
This has been very good with me the past 
couple of years. Color is deeper than most 
yellows. 
Vega (Chase) (406) Sister seedling of 
“~~ Canopus but somewhat smaller. 
Grows tall with long heads with up to 16-18 
buds. Fine for the home garden. 
Velvet Mantle (Fischer) (454) Rich 
royal velvety maroon 
red with a silken sheen. Opens 5-9 5”’ round 
flat open florets on a tall spike, somewhat 
darker in the throat. Healthy vigorous plants 
that produce lots of bulblets. This is one dark 
red one that the florists like. And tho at first 
it was thought that it did not open well in 
water we have been told by many this past 
season that it does and so should be a good 
shipper. 
Venida (Milo) (460) (Midseason) A 
distinctive shade of rose with a 
clear creamy throat. Opens up to 8 large 
Tall 
blooms with several showing color. 
straight vigorous grower. 
Victory Queen (Wilson) (532) (Late 
midseason)Clear rich 
salmon orange with deep cream yellow 
throat. Opens 6-8 beautifully ruffled well 
placed blooms on a very long flower head. 
This was really wonderful for me this past 
season. 
Violet Dickinson (Barrett) — (501) 
Opens 8-10 ruf- 
fled and pointed blooms of a clear white with 
small violet throat marking. Ordinarily | don’t 
like a white with dark markings in the throat 
but the small feathers in this variety are dainty 
and enhance its beauty. Tall strong plant. 
Voodoo (Kade!) (480) (Midseason) A 
——..—_ distinctive smoky. Opens up 
several 5” ruffled needlepoint blooms. Color 
is somewhat different from other smokies hav- 
ing a stipling of bronze and plum. A big seller 
and | never have enough to supply my cus- 
tomers. 
Vulcan (Stevens) (470) (Midseason) 
“Magenta purple, a color that 
the ladies all like. Opens up to 7 well placed 
blooms on a tall straight plant. Heads are 
inclined to be a little short but it is a color that 
the florists should use as it is something different 
and good. 
Wanda (Snyder) (406) Large creamy 
~~ sport of Picardy with slight lines 
in the throat. Just like Picardy except for the 
color. Much in demand by the florists. Does not 
revert like other Picardy sports. 
Wayfa rer (Butt) (460) Light rose blend- 
~~ ing to a creamy white throat. 
Opens 6-8 5” blooms with formal placement. 
Grows 4 feet or over with flower heads of

will go places.

This is one of the most 
beautiful varieties | know. Opens 4-5 waxy 

“Rec'd bulbs and | am very much pleased with them and | want to thank you for your 
very generous count. Am looking forward to some beautiful glads.
