554 MRS. 
GUIDEBOOK FOR 1951 
R. G. ERREY (Errey) ’47. M. 
Velvety red, very deep, faintly marked 
deeper. Some crooked stems in ex- 
tremely hot weather. Very tall. Too 
tall at times. 7-10 open on 20-25 bud 
spikes. Easy propagator. Two F.C.C. 
awards so under. Our first, East 
Liverpool, 
Vv test aa ee C 86. 
Each L .25 M .20 S .15 Bits (100, 
$1.50). 
LIGHT ROSE—60 Series 
460 EIFFEL TOWER (Both ’47) (our 
748 import release) M. Very pale 
lavender blush pink, substantially 
unmarked but still lighter in the 
throat. Round, wide open florets of 
about 5 inches. Spikes carry 8-10 
florets open, excellently placed, full 
double row exhibition placement. A 
real goliath in plant size and a strong, 
husky grower. Fairly good propaga- 
tion. The name is a slight exagger- 
ation, at least. 
Our rating, B 80 
ee L .50 M .85 S .25 Bits .05 (100, 
3.) 
460 FOLKLORE (Butt ’49) E. Medium 
deep rosy lavender, creamy white 
throat. Color is on the order of Coutts’ 
Orchid but the rose is deeper, the 
florets smaller but opens more. For 
two years most of our spikes have 
opened an average of 8. 
Test rating, B 86. 
Each L $1.00 M .60 S .40 Blts .06. 
460 TIVOLI (K & M) (our ’47 import 
release) LM. This is a wonder glad. 
A lovely salmon-rose pink of great 
character. The clean rose blends into 
a lighter throat. Florets around 5 
inches. 8-10 open in faultless double- 
row outline. 8 open easily in the field 
on strong, straight, tall spikes. 18-20 
buds. Tivoli has gained such a foot- 
hold over the entire current light rose 
group that we doubt if its top rating 
can be dislodged in the next ten years. 
Has been color champion at Solon, 
Ohio, and at Tri-State where it was 
also grand champion. In ’50, grand 
enerip at Oneida, N. Y. and Quebec, 
Vv test ratings, 91-AA (over-all). 
One of the 13 varieties to collect a 
double A.

DEEP ROSE—62 Series 
462 ARISTOCRAT (Salman) (our ’50 
import release) M. Purplish wine red, 
paling slightly to an almost blue edge 
about % inch wide. Round, smooth 
florets, very heavy texture. Attrac- 
tive color with a minute marbling 
throughout. Excellent exhibition and 
cut flower habits. Bulblets up fast and 
strong. A first at Tri State (Wells- 
ville), ’49. 
Entered in 590 class as classified by 
NAGC in ’50, it won with ease at 
Chagrin Falls, Ohio (ours) and at 
Ohio (state) Cleveland, both open and 
R. I. sections (both ours), at Tri- 
State, Champaign, Ill., Quebec, P. Q., 
Hawkesbury and Oshawa, Ont., at 
which latter place growers declared 
the spike “sensational”. But we think 
462 is the more accurate classification. 
Vv test ratings, 462-A-89. 
Each L $1.50 M $1.00 S .75 Bits .15. 
563 HILLCREST (Brown—N. Z.) (our 
748 import release) M. Shining and 
exotic, a rich, medium-deep rose 
rather heavily feathered and flecked 
deeper, increasing towards the edges 
of the petals. It has a vivid throat 
mark of deep cerise. 6-7 inch, wide 
open florets making grand exhibition 
spikes of gigantic size. Splendid pro- 
pagator. Very healthy. Color improved 
when cut and bloomed indoors. 
Our ratings, B 83. 
Each L .25 M .20 S .15 Bits (100, 
$1.50) (Pt., $20.). 
462 H. R. HANCOCK (Both) (our 743 
import release) M. Clear, medium 
deep, violet cherry rose, with clear, 
creamy white throat. Very clean 
colors. Perfect, double row placement 
of 5 inch florets, even from No. 6 
small bulbs. 8-11 open, balance in 
color, a bit crowded on a flowerhead 
not as stretchy as we would like to 
have ordered it. Substance excellent. 
Cut in bud, opens well to tip with very 
little diminution of size up the spike. 
A wonderful color break for the cut 
flower growers and it is a prolific 
propagator, as well. One of the most 
popular glads we have ever offered 
and now at very reasonable price.
