INDIGO—478 
Here is a deep violet that has been undeservedly 
overlooked. Opens 4-5 good sized florets on a 
strong spike for a “blue”. In addition is a good 
propagator of sound bulbs unlike most blues. 
L. 25c; M. 15e; S. 3-25¢ 
MATOAKA—454— (Brauer ’38) 
One of the darkest of our black reds. A variety 
that commands attention. Large, glistening flor- 
ets on a sturdy spike of 17-18 buds. Good propa- 
gator, but still hard to keep up with demand. 
L. 20c; M. 15e; S. 2-15¢ 
MID-AMERICA—550—(Knierim ’47) 
Here is a giant in every way: florets, flowerhead, 
Stem, and over-all spike. Color is light red, bril- 
liant and unblemished. Opens 7 to 9 of its huge 
florets at a time. Folks really sit up and take 
notice when you walk into the show room wav- 
ing one of these in a milk bottle. Was “Longest 
Flowerhead” at Illinois State show last summer. 
L. 20c 
MINSTREL—566— (Palmer ’44) 
A giant lavender that will give Elizabeth the 
Queen a good run. Florets are slightly ruffled 
and fluted, and very large. Seven to 8 are open 
at a time. Needs water to draw up the stem, but 
flowerheads are long even in adverse weather. 
L. 25c; M. 15ce 
MISS WISCONSIN—460—(Krueger ’43) 
A fine glad with an excellent show record. 
Makes classy spikes with 6-8 open at once. Color 
is a sort of lavender rose. Everyone should grow 
this one. 
L. 20c 
MOON GLOW—583—(Zimmer 745) 
Here is a giant smoky that it not as well known 
or widely grown as it deserves to be. It’s an orange 
smoky, and thus is different. Opens 6 to 7 florets 
and makes good healthy spikes. Slow propagation 
seems to have impeded its wider dissemination. 
L. 25c; M. 20c 
OBERBAYERN—3179— (Pfitzer ’42) 
Another “blue” that is a good bulb maker and 
easy propagator. Wiry spikes will open 4-6 very 
attractive deep violet florets with striking cream 
throat. An unusual variety that all admire. 
L. 15c; M. 10c; S. 3-20c 
CKLAHOMA—386— (Wilson 745) 
Here’s a glad that has one of the most beautiful 
of all florets if you are a lover of smokies. A nice 
clear lavender gray with soft creamy throat. 
Florets slightly ruffled, 5-7 of which will open at 
one time on spike of moderate stature. 
L. 30c; M. 25c; S. 2-25c¢ 
Received bulbs in fine shape. Many thanks for the 
extras. Glad to get your new one, “Pink Frost.’’—B.H.N.,
