REGAL RED (Fischer ’49) 536 (ML). A husky grower but rather plain 
and coarse appearing compared to other new reds and scarlets in our 
opinion. The color is slightly subdued, sometimes with a hint of bronze 
underlying the scarlet. Burns in hot weather, much better planted late for 
September or October bloom. Made to order for the size fan—really huge. 
We understand that Regal Red will be featured on the cover of the 
February Flower Grower. Bulb sales should indicate what the 250,000 
readers of this fine garden magazine think of it. 
L .50, S .25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
RELIANT (Krueger ’48) 501 (L). A very late white that is useful for fall 
cutting, coming on when most other whites are thru blooming. Produces 
giant plants and flowers, and the color is fairly attractive, altho the darker 
feather detracts somewhat. A very heavy propagator. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
ROSY LIGHT (Jack ’46) 460 (E). An attractive light to medium rose 
pink, darker rose feather. The originator considers this one of his best 
introductions, and we agree, especially since it blooms early and in an 
uncrowded color class. Very nice for early cut flowers, blooms a little 
earlier than Tralee. Medium tall, opens 7 good sized flowers at a time. 
Much admired by all who see it; we think it deserves more popularity than 
it has received to date. A good all around variety that propagates and 
grows well. 
L .30, M .20, S 2—.25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
RUFFLED NIGHT (Rich ’47) 454 (EM). Fine black red with attractively 
ruffled flowers. Definitely heat resistant, outstanding in this respect. 7 or 8 
medium sized florets open on good tall spikes. Seems to open one or two 
more than Velvet Mantle and possibly more reliable, altho the latter 
variety was very good for us too. Ruffled Night is always a target for 
admiration; one of the few heavily ruffled dark glads. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 3—.25, 10—.70, 100—$5.00. 
SEASHELL (Roberts ’48) 540 (ML). An exquisitely beautiful pink of 
delicate color closely approximating that much desired ‘‘Coryphee’”’ pink. 
The small throat spot is pure white. Tall and husky in growth, with aver- 
age length flowerheads; a few reports of short heads occasionally. Florets 
are very large, up to 6% inches reported, with broad petals, nicely frilled 
and of heavy substance. Informal placement. Many of our customers tell 
us that Seashell is the most beautiful of all the pinks. Good average bulblet 
producer. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.75, 100—$6.00. 
SEQUIN (Palmer ’49) 410 (EM). There are so many good yellows coming 
on these days that it is hard to know which are the best. This new one 
looked mighty good from a limited planting of quite small bulbs. A very 
clean light yellow, larger than most, with about 7 open on good spikes. 
Quite early, and a good commercial prospect. A good propagator and 
germinator, and produces nice bulbs. 
L $1.50 each, Bulblets 2—.30, 12—$1.50, with bulb purchase only. 
SHERWOOD (Pruitt ’°48) 470 (M). The most beautiful new purple we 
have seen. Exceptionally fine except that it doesn’t stand extreme heat 
very well. Beautiful large ruffled florets of clear purple; about 7 open on 
tall, straight, slender spikes. Compared with King Lear, Sherwood holds 
more open with better attachment, has prettier floret form and is more 
heavily ruffled. A heavy propagator. 
M .60, S .40, Bulblets 5—.25, 10—.40, 100—$3.00.
