DONNA  (Pruitt-40) 416-95 
Lovely ruffled golden buff that belongs in every ruffled 
collection. 
DR. WHITELEY (riley-43) 516-85 
Large yellowish apricot or buff. Very good in its class. 
DUSTY MILLER (elliott-45) 486-85 
A smoky old rose, mildly blotched white with cream pencil- 
ing. 8 florets open on a 20-bud spike. Always straight and 
a vigorous grower. 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN  white-41) 566-86 
This is in our opinion the best and most beautiful lavender. 
Not exceptionally tall but fancy even when short. It grows 
48 inches tall consistently for us and opens 7-9 beautifully 
ruffled, somewhat needle-pointed florets on an 18-bud spike. 
ETHEL CAVE COLE (cave-41) 440-80 
Light pink that sometimes flakes. Massive spikes with 3 
open and most other buds showing color. A good com- 
mercial. 
EVANGELINE (Paimer-4s) 560-92 
Light rose-pink with large, ruffled, 54%-inch florets and a 
soft cream throat. 25- to 30-inch flower head, 18-20 buds, 
and 8-12 open. A consistent winner of highest awards. 
FABULOUS i asalle-4¢) 443-85 
If you like blotched varieties this one will look right for you. 
It is pink with deeper pink throat on a cream foreground. 
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (narris-47) 400-88 
Finest Canadian white, 66 inches tall, 8 open, and 22 buds. 
Straight, ruffled florets with excellent substance and perfect 
placement. Good propagator. 
FREEDOM (rFischer-49) 401-75 
Tall, rugged white, lavishly ruffled and enhanced by a 
startling bright rose blotch in the throat. Always straight. 
Opens well in water, 6-8 lightly ruffled florets open, 5 
inches in diameter. 
FRIENDSHIP (Fischer-49) 442-70 
An exceptionally healthy grower, height 55 inches, with 
4°4-inch florets, round, wide open and heavily ruffled and 
of excellent substance. A delightful shade of soft pink. 
This grows well and blooms from small bulbs. 
GAIL (Farrington-Moses-49) 466-85 
Light lavender, shading to deeper lavender at the petal 
edges with a light penciling of rose-cerise on the lower 
petals deep in the throat. This is consistently a tall grower 
producing a stretchy spike with 7-9 open florets with beau- 
tiful placement. Never crooks or flakes and opens well in 
water. Keeps its size to the very tip. An outstanding com- 
mercial variety. Have had very fine reports on this variety 
from all parts of the country, and it has done plenty of 
winning wherever it has been shown.
