SCARLET—36 Series 
437 CARNIVAL (Butt-Evans ’47) EM. 
Bright, dazzling scarlet with clear 
white throat. Exhibition quality spikes 
are regularly produced and it opens 
7-10 well placed florets at once. At- 
tachment and substance are good and 
one spike is a bouquet in itself. Color 
is uncommonly attractive and the 
variety is well named.

value is acceptable because of its

437 PALETTE (Kooy ’50 (our 751 im- 
port release) M. Clean, hot, deep scar- 
let, wide solid blue-violet brush in 
throat. Color will bleach some if 
aliowed 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. 
In ’51 a first at Ind. (Wabash).

Each L $1.25 M .60. 
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 
ages there is a sort of dulling process 
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 751 
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. 
The Dutch Bulb Growers’ Society of- 
ficial magazine declared this variety 
to be the best shown by K & M at the 
July 24, 1950 show, its first show 
appearance. 
Variety already has its A.M. and Trial 
Grounds Certificate and will un- 
doubtedly collect its FCC this year in 
Holland. Spikes here and at Valleevue 
had 8 open, 8 in color on 19 bud heads. 
Is proving out a strong propagator. 
Note that Sans Souci is in a tie for 
the highest rating issued in 1951 with 
Ruth Lorene, as follows:
