Lemon Chrome IV 21. More intense 
than any yellow on Fischer chart. 
Clear deep yellow, many open, uni- 
form spikes. Ruffled. 
Of the close to 30 yellow varieties we 
have been testing, this has the deepest 
color and most uniform in production 
of good cut spikes. The price, too low.

512, JAVA (Salman ’47) (our ’48 imvort 
release) M. Very rich and brilliant 
yellow of giant size holding up to 
8-10 open 6 inch florets on 55-60 inch 
tall spike. 
Small bulbs are not overly anxious 
to bloom but make powerful plants, 
good bulbs and plenty of bulblets. 
Test rating, C 85.

410 RECORD (K & M) (our ’50 import 
release) M. Pastel finished (soft, 
without glisten), creamy yellow. Three 
or four very faint pepper marks on 
deeper yellow throat. Medium tall 
spikes with round, flat florets 5 inches 
diameter, 6-7 open. Buds have rose 
bud form and appearance. Type varies 
from formal to informal with grow- 
ing conditions from bud to bloom 
stage. Should it fail to make the grade 
as an exhibition glad at the shows for 
lack of number open it will neverthe- 
less quickly command the cut flower 
reputation it plainly deserves. Its color 
harmony with pastels of other colors 
such as, for instance, Benjamin Brit- 
ten, is stunning. Our 1st at Tri State 
(Wellsville, Ohio 749). 
Test rating, B 86. 
Each M (blt grown, run mostly No. 
2-3) $2.00 Blts .20. 
312 SOLID (Both) (our ’47 import 
release). EM. Pure, deep, glistening 
yellow, with florets of medium size 
a bit ruffled and fluted. The color 
is lively, the flowerheads stretchy, 
with the buds separated nicely in 
early stage of bloom. Attachment good 
and we think it has excellent com- 
mercial prospects. 
Our firsts at Binghamton, Tri State 
and Chagrin Falls, ’49. 
Our rating, A 89. 
Each L .75 M .50 Bits. .07 (100, $5.) 
413 SPOTLIGHT (Palmer ’44) E. Clear, 
medium-deep golden yellow with a 
small feathered blotch of scarlet. 
Large blooms, about 6-7 open and 
about 18 buds. The color is extremely 
attractive and the plant is strong and 
vigorous, producing plenty of large 
bulblets that grow unusually well and 
often bloom. Rates 4th best glad, last 
Canadian Symposium. Opens. well 
when cut in tight bud. Do not confuse 
with variety “Stoplight.” 
Our rating, A 85. 
ae L .12 M .08 Bits (100, .50) (pt., 
As). 
411 WORLD BEATER (Weltwunder) 
(Pfitzer) (our ’49 introduction.) M. 
Glistening and waxy—a clear, medi- 
um-light yellow of high color value 
with a red throat mark more promi- 
nent than that of Spotlight. 8-10 
florets open easily on the plant in 
double row formation on almost bone- 
dry soil in very hot weather. Florets 
41 inches and larger. 20-23 buds well 
placed and spaced on strong, tall 
stems. 
Three of the U.S.D.A. pathologists, 
visiting the Valleevue Test Garden 
and our plantings, studied three rows 
of blooms, in extremely hot weather, 
and openly marveled at the substance 
of the clear, waxy florets and their 
complete lack of mild virus which 
causes flecking and feathering of 
color. 
This is a band wagon bargain for the 
cut flower man. 
Test ratings, A 90.
