SIBONEY—566—(Allen ’48) 
A fine new lavender with deeper lavender throat. 
Huge, well attached florets, ruffled and fluted. 
Six to 7 open, but there could be more showing 
color to make the tall spikes better balanced. 
L. $1.50 
SPIC & SPAN—432—(Carlson ’46) 
Altho classed a salmon, Spic & Span is nearer to 
deep pink (442). At any rate it is a winner of all 
sorts of show honors in its relatively short career. 
At Chicago show last season it was Best Recent 
Introduction and Grand Champion Spike; also 
Best Basket in show. Spikes are tall and straight 
as a poker (even in last summer’s heat) and they 
carry 6 to 8 nicely ruffled florets open at once. 
It’s a good propagator and produces good spikes 
from small bulbs. 
L. 75¢e; M. 55ce; S. 35c 
*STYLE PLUS—330—(Wilson ’44) 
A medium sized light salmon that has no peer 
for intensity of ruffling. The variety wins hand- 
ily in its class, and almost invariably goes on to 
take “Most Ruffling” honors of the show, as it did 
for me at Chicago Show last year. Salmon blends 
to a creamy yellow throat that adds interest to an 
already beautiful subject. It’s no exaggeration to 
says S. P. is everyone’s favorite. It’s a good prop- 
agator, too. 
L. 25c; M. 20c; S. 15¢ 
SUN SPOT—417— (Roberts °45) 
Ruffled florets of apricot-buff having a throat 
mark of rose. It opens 6-8 on tall, rugged spike. 
Its win of Grand Champion Spike at Interna- 
tional Show in Binghampton in 1947 has brought 
it to prominence as a show flower destined to en- 
joy a great future. 
L. 75¢e; M. 50c; S. 30c 
TOPFLITE—460— (LaSalle ’46) 
Soft, light rose that is new and different from 
others in its class. A coming variety that is going 
to have a successful career as a show flower as 
it easily opens 7-8 perfectly placed florets. 
S. 50c 
VENIDA—460— (Milo ’47) 
A very nice light rose with a lavender cast, 
blending into creamy throat. Seven to 8 open and 
well placed on tall vigorous spikes. 
L. $1.00; M. 75ce; S. 50c 
VOODOO—486—(Kadel 744) 
A most unusual glad that never fails to attract 
attention and win ribbons. Strictly a novelty, but 
consistent in performance. Color is smoky plum 
with lighter throat. Spikes are tall and rangy, 
having 5 to 7 large florets in bloom simultan- 
eously. Had a hard time supplying demand last 
ear. 
L. 30c; M. 25¢
