INTRODUCTIONS 
for 1952 
RUTH LORENE (410) Fuller ‘52 (80) 
A sport found in Spotlight by my wife and named 
for her. It is a clear unmarked medium deep yellow, 
the color appearing slightly lighter than Spotlight due 
to the absence of any red in the throat. We have found 
a few reverts back to Spotlight and spikes in which only 
a part of the blotch reverted back. 
Florets open wider and it holds more open than 
Spotlight. Stamens occasionally change over into small 
petals in floret center. This trait is more pronounced 
under exhibition culture. All other habits including 
health, vigor and propagation appear the same as Spot- 
light. Like Spotlight it should find wide ‘acceptance as 
an outstanding cutflower. 
Tall spikes at Valleevue Test Gardens had 10 open 
on 22 bud spikes and rated 89AA. 
It was a seedling class first at the Ohio (Worthing- 
ton) and West Virginia show. A spike grown by Tom 
Manley with 10 open rated A— and topped the 400 seed- 
ling class at The Binghamton International Show. 
Bulbs $2.00 each for any size: unit of 5 bulblets for $2.00 
MESA MIST (486) Hartman ‘52 (85) 
A clear smoky lavender grey sport of pastel. Its 
beautiful color will no doubt make it one of the most 
popular smokies. Attracted a lot of favorable attention 
and won first award in its seedling class at the Interna- 
tional Show at East Lansing. 
Bulbs $2.00 each for any size; unit of 10 bulblets for $2.00
