ELIZABETH THE QUEEN (566) White ’41 (86) 
The fine inexpensive lavender that is being grown 
by the millions. A clear lavender with darker lines 
in the throat. Opens up to 8 wide-open beautifully 
ruffled blooms on spikes of average height or less. 
To be at its best it needs lots of water. Very popular. 
ETHEL CAVE-COLE (440) Cave ‘41 (80) 
Fine commercial pink and a dependable home garden 
variety. Opens up to 8 large florets on straight 
stems. Very heavy increaser. Good grower. Flecks 
some in hot weather but is very fine when bloomed 
early or in the fall. 
EUNICE EWING (470) Kaylor “45 (85) 
A unique color combination— deep purple with a 
white throat. Very striking. Opens up to 6 florets 
on a tall willowy spike. Good increaser. This has 
been one of the most popular purple varieties in the 
list. 
EVANGELINE (560) Palmer ‘48 (92) 
A vigorous healthy growing variety that is capable 
of producing grand champion spikes. Florets are 
often misplaced but a good spike is really something. 
It is light pink with a rose cast blending into a rich 
creamy throat. Opens up to 10 beautifully ruffled 
florets of good attachment on a long flowerhead and 
is very tall growing. An average propagator, it 
is the most robust grower from bulblets of any 
variety we have grown. It is a beautiful shade of 
pink and really should be in the 540 class instead 
of 560. Evangeline was Grand Champion at the 
New Jersey State show this year (1949). 
FABULOUS (443) LaSalle ‘46 (85) 
A very striking blotched variety that is different from 
others. It is a deep pink with a half blotch of 
cherry red bordered by light cream. Opens up to 
6 on a tall spike. Good grower from bulblets. 
FAY (440) Jack ‘45 (75) 
Fay is a fine early cut-flower variety. Opens up 
to 7 lightly ruffled florets of pink with a cream 
throat. Spike is medium tall. Makes lots of jumbo 
bulblets which grow with ease. Similar in color to 
Margaret Fulton. 
FIRE GLEAM (436) Jack “49 (80) 
Its rich shade of scarlet and beautifully ruffled 
blooms make Fire Gleam a fancier’s favorite. It 
opens up to 10 nicely placed florets on a long flower- 
head with an overall field height of 60 inches. The 
few large bulbs of it we bloomed produced uni- 
formly good spikes. It is an excellent grower from 
bulblets. Fire Gleam has a fine show record in the 
Northwest.
