562 NEW YORK (Salman 749) (our ’51 ages there is a sort of dulling process 
import release) EM. Very deep rose, 
deeper than blood red but definitely . 
rosy. Strong habits. Long flower- 
heads with huge florets of great sub- 
stance. Of the 809 varieties rated by 
Mr. Manley to date, only 138 have 
gained a double A. 
Do not confuse with another variety 
named “New Yorker”’.

437 PALETTE (Kooy 750) (our ’51 im- 
port release) M. Clean, hot, deep scar- 
let, wide solid blue-violet brush in 
throat. Color will bleach some if 
allowed to open in intense sun. Seems 
to be a new and intriguing color com- 
bination only approached by the 
smaller blue throat mark in Tuts Both. 
For this it gained the Color Champion 
of the show at the Ohio (Valleevue) 
show, 750. :

436 POPULAR (Salman ’48) (our ’51 im- 
port release) M. Color of the fresh 
florets is outstanding. A very velvety 
scarlet with a strong brownish tone 
and a hair line edge. As the floret 
and the hair line widens by a sort of 
bleaching process to about %-inch 
wide. Tall, wide foliage, tall spikes 
with 22-25-inch flowerheads. Florets 
slightly recurved, placement only fair 
at times, usually good.

436 SANS SOUCI (K & M ’51) (our ’51 
co-introduction) M. Translated, with- 
out worry. Very rich glowing scarlet 
with a narrow creamy white pencil 
line on lip petal. The color glows with 
metallic lustre. Florets are 5-5% 
inches, of heavy texture. 
We grew 4 of the 6 1951 K & M intro- 
ductions (not including Miss Holland, 
which secured a very high Vv rating) 
and this performed the best of the 4 
for us and may turn out to be the best 
propagator. The Dutch Bulb Growers’ 
Society official magazine declared this 
variety to be the best shown by K & M 
at the July 24, 1950 show, its first 
show appearance. 
We understand that bulbs were too 
scarce to supply Valleevue for testing. 
We rated it here, color 89 and Exh. A. 
Prices: No Discount. No 10 Rate. 
Each M $7.00 Blts each $1.25.

Glory seedling. Clean silvery, creamy 
white with a soft carmine spot, not 
large. Color harmony is more delicate 
than that of the bolder Salman’s Glory

immense. Wide petals, 7-8 inch round 
florets. Should end the many year 
domination of Margaret Beaton in the 
501 Class. Stock very limited.

400 FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (J. W.

appear to make it a very outstanding
