560 GENERAL EISENHOWER (Sal- 
man) (our ’48 import release) M. A 
medium-light rose in the general depth 
range of Leeuwenhorst, Rosea, Festi- 
val Queen, Sensation and the like. 
Relatively clear color, bright hydran- 
gea pink but with variable amount of 
deeper feathering. The variety is 
powerful in every respect, with excel- 
lent cut flower habits. It makes 
flowerheads with 7 inch florets double- 
row placed in such fashion that the 
width of the tremendous flower spike 
is the greatest of any variety we have 
yet seen. Tremendous is the word, 
even from medium bulbs. This is one 
of the 4 varieties to rate “AA” among 
the 125 Dutch sorts tested by W. 
Virginia Test Gardens, ’48. 
Test rating, A 83.

460 TIVOLI (K & M) (our ’47 import 
release) LM. This is a wonder glad. 
A lovely salmon-rose pink. of great 
character. The clean rose blends into 
a lighter throat. Florets around 5 
inches. 8-10 open in faultless double- 
row outline. 8 open easily in the field 
on strong, straight, tall spikes. 18-20 
buds. Tivoli has gained such a foot- 
hold over the entire current light rose 
group that we doubt if its top rating 
can be dislodged in the next ten years. 
We carry an illustration.

and glossy. The brownish red base 
has a very definite rosy violet cast, 
together with a vivid purple throat. 
Round florets, 6-8 inches, 6-8 open on 
spikes too tall for self support, the 
stem appearing somewhat weak at 
the ground for the heavy load if 
blooms are allowed to age on the 
plant.

563 HILLCREST (Brown—N. Z.) (our

rather heavily feathered and flecked 
deeper, increasing towards the edges

mark of deep cerise. 6-7 inch, wide 
open florets making grand exhibition 
spikes of gigantic size. Splendid pro- 
pagator. Very healthy. Color improved

462 H. R. HANCOCK (Both) (our 743 
import release) M. Clear, medium 
deep, violet cherry rose, with clear, 
creamy white throat. Very clean 
colors. Perfect, double row placement 
of 5 inch florets, even from No. 6 
small bulbs. 8-11 open, balance in 
color, a bit crowded on a flowerhead 
not as stretchy as we would like to 
have ordered it. Substance excellent. 
Cut in bud, opens well to tip with very 
little diminution of size up the spike. 
A wonderful color break for the cut 
flower growers and it is a prolific 
propagator, as well. One of the most 
popular glads we have ever offered 
and now at very reasonable price.
