Other 1952 Releases 
It is with pleasure that we announce the introduction of the following two origina- 
tions by Mr. Richard Goodman of Bloomington, Illinois. 
ROYAL ERMINE. (R. Goodman 1952) M-L. 42-46 in. A large, very pale cream white that 
gives a rich Ermine white effect in the garden. The form is excellent with very clean- 
cut, tailored petals. Standards are perfectly domed and falls are semi-flaring. The 
petals are free of venations and a rich full beard and pure gold throat add greatly 
to is beauty. Stubstance is heavy and the finish is very smooth. Stalks are strong and 
excellently branched. Most effective in the garden and a sensation in the specimen 
stalls Ceparirien tase at a. ate Re iets). ike eet a SmI ea igeh Mawr Net $25.00 
SPRING MOON. (R. Goodman 1952) E-M. 32 in. This gigantic light yellow was a real 
Sensation in our garden last year and we feel that it will deserve all the praise and 
attention given it. The flowers have very good form with heavy substance and one 
of the silkiest finishes we have ever seen. Standards are perfectly domed and the 
falls flare horizontally. Stalks are strong and widely branched, though at times it 
has a tendency to throw a Y shaped stalk. However this is no great defect for it 
produces many buds and there are always a number of flowers in bloom at one time 
making it one of the most effective clumps, we*have seen, = ss he Net $20.00 
Personality Parade of 1952 
$2.00 each. Net 
Each of the following new members of the Personality Parade have been studied 
and checked with extra care and we believe in each of them we are giving you varieties 
that are outstandingly different in colors and color combinations and that are as fine as 
anything that has ever been on the Parade. Stock is not as plentiful of these 1952 items 
as past years introductions and this, plus the great demand for the Paraders as well as 
increased postal rates has necessitated the increase of price on them to $2.00. A price 
which we still believe you will find well worthwhile. 
BOLD PAGEANT. (Tompkins 1952) M-L. 40-44 in. A large well formed flower with 
very broad petals, heavy substance and gleaming finish. A self color identical 
to the plate called Indian Copper in the Dictionary of Color. There is in reality 
nothing coppery about it and it is best visualized as a pure light brown. Taken as 
a color alone it would be rather sombre and dull. However, finished off as it is 
in this flower there is something about it that makes even a single stalk a command- 
ing sight and it has drawn visitors to it like a magnet and led numbered seedling 
sales for the past two years. Plants are hardy with tall broad foliage and stalks are 
very strong with excellent branching. 
No. 49-11. (Stardom x Arab Chief) x (Gypsy x Prairie Fire). 
BRIGHT BROCADE. (Tompkins 1952) M-L. 38 in. A most unusual combination of 
colors, this seems to be a real eye catcher. Flowers are quite large with heavy 
substance and good form. Almost a bicolor, the standards are of rich Tyrian gold 
with a faint infusion of violet while the falls are deep Petunia violet with a flush 
of red and gold and a touch of deep gold at the beard. Both standards and falls 
have a deep lacy or Chantilly like edge of sparkling gold. Strong, well branched stalks. 
No. 49-76. Lavender and Gold Lace x Matador. 
DAYDREAMER. (Tompkins 1952) M-L. 38 in. This is an exceptionally large flower of 
very stately appearance. The form is good with broad domed standards and very 
large round falls. Standards are blended burgandy and brown and the falls are of 
deep ruby red with a rich infusion of brown and mahogany. Strong well branched 
stalks with excellent placement make this an ideal garden clump as well as a fine 
specimen for show purposes. 
No. 49-187. Bandit x Rhapsody. 
LIVE WIRE. (Tompkins 1952) M-VL. 38 in. A beautifully formed flower with flaring 
quality and beauty each year. 
No. 46-23. Arab Chief x Honeyflow.
