we rate the over-all color in the orange 
classification second only to that of 
Tunia’s Delight. We concede excellent 
cut flower habits in every respect, in- 
cluding ability to open well when cut 
tight. With 6 or more florets open it 
will shortly become a variety hard to 
stop in the shows. A real “knockout.” 
In ‘48, A. M. at London RHS test 
garden, F. C. C. at Haarlem. One of 
the 4 Dutch varieties out of 125 tested 
to rate “AA” at W. Virginia test 
garden, where Mr. Tom Manley (in 
charge) said he considered it the best 
of the four. He considers it the clean- 
est color of any glad he has seen from 
Holland, not limiting his statement to 
the 125 test. 
We carry an illustration.

perfect blue margin around the edge

ceptibly to clear, golden yellow. Beau- 
tifully ruffled. Double row placement

431 FRED TUCKER (Both ’46) (our ’49 
import release) E. A medium light 
salmon with white lines on center rib 
of petals with a small purple blotch 
in throat. Tall, stretchy, informal 
spikes holding 8-10 open. We dip our 
hat here to a variety that outper- 
forms Pinocchio in production of 
spikes from bulblets. We would say 
that about 99-44/100% of them 
bloomed, averaging 3 feet and 8-12 
buds, 4 inch florets.

431 JEANETTE WHITE (Both ’46) (our 
’49 import release) M. A medium-light 
salmon pink, with a cyclamen blotch, 
not very prominent, on cream throat. 
The salmon feathers out somewhat 
deeper towards the edges of the petals 
The over-all color effect is lighter 
than Spic and Span and the feathering 
less prominent. The reason we com- 
pare with Spic and Span is that the 
spikes have much in common. Very 
tall and uniformly straight. Some- 
what ruffled. Made stunning formal, 
double row placement, extremely long 
flowerheads with many 10-12 open 
from small bulbs. One of these spikes 
took a first for us at East Liverpool 
show, ’48. A very vigorous grower 
that will bear watching. 
Most open, East Liverpool, ’49.
