COLUMBIA (407) Roberts 751 
Clear, creamy white, deeper in the center with bright rose halo on the 
edges of the petals. Near the color of Corona except that the halo is more 
uniform and prominent. Bulblets germinate nearly 100%, and it is a fast 
propagator. Opens up to 7 florets on a tall, graceful stem. Columbia is a 
better commercial than Corona, because it overcomes the faults of Corona. 
Columbia will surely rate one of of the best 1951 introductions, and in time 
will be grown on a large scale. Stock will prove hard to get unless you order 
early. Be sure and get this one. 
M—82.50, S—2.00, Blts—1—.35, 10—$2.50, 100—$20.00 
CONN. YANKEE (441) Schenetsky 744 
A cool light pink with an attractive scarlet throat. Heavy show winner, 
and fine commercial, opening up to 10 florets. It is an excellent grower from 
bulblets, but a little below average in pepe eae 
Large bulbs only 2—0.25, Blts. 20—$0.25. 
DANCING FLAME (436) Arnett 1950 
Briefly, here is dear old Dr. Bennett color with health of bulb that is 
tops. Placement is not always perfect, but still better than Evangeline or 
October Sunshine. Although it blooms nicely from cae until late, it will 
earn the most money as an ‘early cut flower. It is a 70 day glad, large, tall, 
56”, always straight, easy to handle, makes lots of bulblets that cerminate 
easily, and will bloom spikes as big as come from bulbs of other varieties. We 
have always considered Dancing Flame str ictly a commercial, but almost every 
spike this summer was worthy of a place on any show table. Tho vivid, ver- 
million scarlet spikes were a real joy to see. 
L—$0.75, M—$0.60, S—#0.50, Blts. 10—#0.50, 
DARK MELODY (462) Arnett 1951 
A moderately tall growing, silky, deep wine red rose color that is excit- 
ingly different. The cut flower grower will like its long flower heads. Plain 
petalled, it will’ open up to 8 florets with 6 showing of its 20 buds, perfectly 
placed and faced. One grower, who got Dark Melody last year rates it as one 
of the best 1951 introductions. It certainly will garner lots of blue ribbons. 
Takes about 95 days to flower. 
, M—$3.00, S—$2.00, Blts $0.40, 10—$3.00 
DARLA (461) Thiel ’49 
Here is a rose colored commercial glad that has been overlooked because 
other new ones were glamorized by fancy words. However, Darla will be a- 
round long after the others are gone, because it has all it falces to make it a 
true aerial) Early, 70 days, rose pink florist color, excellent propagotor, 
healthy. Easy to handle, medium herghteee Cryst. 
L—$0.35, M—$0.25, S—$0.15, Bits 10—$0.25.
