MRS. R. G. ERREY (Errey ’48) 554 (EM). One of the best black reds; 
we would be inclined to say the best except for its apparent tendency to 
crook if it happens to bloom in real hot weather. Two years ago all of our 
spikes were straight—last summer about half came crooked. The color is 
very nice, a smooth dark maroon. About 7 open an tall spikes. Probably 
does best from medium bulbs. 
M .75, S .50, Bulblets 3—.25, 10—.70. 
MY DEAR (Sisson ’48) 440 (E-EM). Quite a nice early pink, very pretty. 
Florets perhaps don’t have quite as much character or distinction as some, 
but blooms much earlier than most other ruffled light pinks. 5-7 open at a 
time on quite good spikes. Fast propagator. 
L $2.50, M $2.00, S $1.50, Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.20, 100—$9.00. 
NANCY (Arnett ’49) 452 (EM). A very fine new commercial red that 
lived up to all advance claims in our plantings. Grown in good quantity 
it proved a most reliable cutter, opening 6 or 7 good sized well-attached 
plain florets on tall plants. Rather closely set compact flowerheads, bud 
count and stretch satisfactory. Florets have fine substance and seem to 
hold up unusually well after being cut. Stands heat well. Growing and 
propagating habits all that could be desired. Will be grown by the acre 
for cut flowers. Won a Grand Championship at one of the Michigan shows 
last summer. 
L. 50, M .35, S .25, Buiblets 10—.50, 100—$4.00. 
NELLIE LOU (Lines ’49) 440-540 (M). Rev. Lines seems to have the knack 
of getting tall strong growing habits into his seedlings, and this is another 
good one of that type, often reaching 6 feet in height. A much admired 
rosy pink with a striking throat marking of deeper pink. Florets are nicely 
ruffled, mostly single lip type, triangular shape. 7 to 9 open at once, fairly 
well attached to the tall graceful spikes. 
Bulbs, any size, $3.00 each, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00. 
NILA (Pruitt 47) 454 (M). A dark purplish maroon that has been in good 
demand and seems to be one of the best of the dark ones. Not quite as tall 
as Mrs. Errey, but this one is always straight. We like it. 
S 2—.25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE (Quackenbush ’47) 420 (EM). A topnotch new 
commercial prospect. We were most enthusiastic about the way this took 
the heat with no wilting, burning, or fading in 105° temperatures. A fine 
color—soft yet quite brilliant yellowish orange. A little brighter and 
yellower than Patrol. 7-8 medium sized lightly frilled and recurved florets 
are well attached to good spikes. Facing and placement not always perfect. 
Our field records show that we gave October Sunshine an A-1 rating for 
heat resistance in a season that really gave our glads the acid test. A 
good propagator of large bulblets that germinate well here. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, Bulblets 5—.25, 10—.40, 100—$3.00. 
OKINAWA (Loar ’50) 381 (M). See 1950 Co-Introductions. 
ORANGE GOLD (Marshall ’45) 422 (EM). Brilliant golden orange, still 
hard to beat for color value. 5-6 round florets open on tall plants, flower- 
heads on the short side usually. A grand color, especially useful for floral 
work. For an exquisite vase or basket, try combining Sun Spot and Orange 
Gold. 
M 4—.25, S 6—.25, Bulblets 40—.25, 100—.50. 
ORCHID LADY (Butt 750). See 1950 Co-Introductions.
