season. GAYLORE, SPIC & SPAN, JINI MARIE, DOROTHY MARGARET, HONEY DEW, 
BONNIE BRAE, ANN SHERMAN, ADORABLE, GRACE DARLING, COMPLEXION, 
SUPREME BEAUTY, PINK SATIN, CITATION, KOKOMO GIANT, MISS MADISON, 
DOLLY VARDEN and FRASER are certainly among the topnotchers in this class. EVAN - 
GELINE still winning champion spike, and HEART’S DESIRE, REGAL LADY, have to be 
mentioned here. This does not by any means include even a small percentage of the good 
ones, but it surely gives you something to start on. 
The red class, while seemingly large, is actually not as big as you might think. I am 
including scarlets here. For commercial cut-flower use, there is nothing to beat RHETT 
BUTLER, clarity of color, brilliance, and earliness, make it a “MUST HAVE”. RED CHARM 
NANCY, RED CHERRY, DIEPPE, MANDARIN, REDOWA, RED FEATHER, with the 
King of ruffled reds; ROYAL FLUSH, still ruling the roost. Among the new ones, RED 
TOWER, and for heaviest ruffling and texture, LORD ELGIN, with its statliness and regal 
bearing, will thrill you. BIG JOE still winning the longest flowerhead in the shows, BON- 
FIRE and REGAL RED, two grand commercials, but the class is still not crowded. 
The lavender class has been greatly strengthened in the last two or three years. The 
new HENRIETTA is a grand lavender, Dr. Sisson’s CAPTIVATION will be hard to beat, 
MADELINE HEFTY, FALCON, BRIDAL ORCHID, MARTHA WASHINGTON, COLO- 
NIAL DAME, and the older favorite ELIZABETH THE QUEEN are all topnotchers. VAL- 
DA while displaying a lot of rose, is still classed as lavender, and will be tough to beat. 
MYRTLE GRACE seems to be our earliest, to date. 
The orange class is getting stronger too. TASCO seems 
to be tops up to now. MARGARET JEAN, ENCORE, are 
tops, and the older TROCADERO, and SUNLIGHT, are still 
in there winning their share of prizes. 
The buff class is certainly interesting. Tops by a long shot 
is PEACH GLOW, and you will eventually grow it. SUN- 
SPOT, and WILMA DITTMAN still hard to beat. Many 
new seedlings in this class will greatly increase the number 
available in short order. 
Blues are becoming quite competitive. FIRMAMENT 
still our earliest. GREAT LAKES, BLUE LAGOON, BLUE 
BARON, BLUE DEVIL, TRI-COLOR, all grand, while BLUE 
BEAUTY still wins, and is a great commercial. 
Black reds, a favorite with many, is gaining strength. 
Tops for me this season was ACE OF SPADES. VELVET 
MARVEL, BLACK CHERRY, are all fine too. 
Purples, which can stand the heat, and not burn, or peel 
are showing up. The best for me this year were KING 
DAVID and KASHMIR. They seem to rule the roost for the 
minute, but the new INDELIBLE will be right up there 
another season. WONDER BOY looks like one of those 
“Hard to beat” purples, and you will thrill to its marvelous 
rich color. MODERN MISS another great purple, and PUR- 
PLE PRINCE will make a great commercal. You have quite 
a choice now. 
Smokies are going great guns. STORMY WEATHER, 
OPECHEE, and SANDMAN still rule the roost, but MUL- 
BERRY QUEEN looks very good, and it’s very unusual. You 
should grow a few smokies. 
These outstanding glads, are only a sample of what you 
will discover in the list but should serve as a guide, from 
which to make a start. If I attempted to list all of them, 
this catalogue would carry 150 pages, and I can’t afford it.
