GAY NINETIES (Krueger) The unique coloring of Gay Nineties is reminiscent of that 
period, with its deep toned furniture and carpeting. Gay Nineties will show in the 
“any other color” class, as it has no smoke in its makeup. The color viewed in one 
light is like that of a ripe plum while at other times it appears to have a blending of 
purple. The plant grows to a height of 55 inches and produces long tapered flower- 
heads of 18 buds, 8 to 9 of which open at one time with 6 more showing color above 
the heavily ruffled and well attached florets of 4-inch size. Health, consistent perform- 
ance, rapid propagation and easy germination are the attributes of Gay Nineties which 
won seedling excellence awards at Indiana ’50, and Southern Wisconsin-Northern 
Illinois at Jefferson, Wis. ’50.
