MOUNTAIN GEM (436) Requa ‘46 (80) 
A beautiful shade of scarlet with a light picotee 
edge. Opens up to 6 on an average spike. One 
of the most beautiful scarlets. Excellent propagator 
and good grower from bulblets. 
MY DEAR (440) Sisson ‘48 (77) 
A fine shade of shell pink with deep pink markings 
on the lower petals. It opens up to 6 wide-open 
ruffled florets on a well balanced flower-head. 
Rapid increaser and bulblets make salable spikes. 
Taller growth would be desired but the low grow- 
ing foliage permits cutting a nice long spike. An- 
other variety that florists like to receive. 
MYRNA FAY (466) Lines ’46 (75) 
Our best early lavender, it is a 100% cutter of long 
willowy spikes. It opens up to 10 florets of a 
medium shade of lavender. Makes fine spikes from 
small bulbs. At its best when bloomed early as it 
flecks badly in hot weather. Very prolific and 
bulblets grow like weeds. 
NANCY (452) Arnett ‘49 (88) 
A rich medium shade of red that opens up to 7 
well placed and attached florets. Run-a-way propa- 
gator and excellent grower from bulblets. Also does 
{ine from small bulbs. Fine commercial. 
NOWETA ROSE (560) Fischer ‘50 (85) 
A clean lavender-rose that can produce sensational 
spikes. We grew Noweta Rose as a seedling prior 
to its introduction and wholeheartedly recommend 
it to our customers. It will open up to 12 florets 
with most of the remaining buds in color; in fact 
we've had spikes with 14 buds showing color he- 
fore the first floret opened. It’s a tremendous propa- 
gator and good germinator. Although the stock is 
quite small it has already made a name for itself 
on the show table. Among its many winnings was 
that of Grand Champion at the Central International 
show at Madison, Wisconsin this year (1950). 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE (420) Quackenbush ‘47 (85) 
An orange blending into a golden yellow throat that 
grows tall and straight as an arrow. It opens up 
to 7 recurved, sometimes misplaced florets. This is 
an excellent commercial variety and does fine from 
small bulbs. Good propagator and fine grower 
from bulblets. 
OPECHEE (486) Deam ‘49 (90) 
An entirely different smoky, old rose with lavender 
overlay and carmine feather on the lower petals. 
It opens up to 8 wide-open plain petaled florets 
on tall, straight spikes. Fine bulblet producer and 
excellent grower from bulblets. This has been a 
heavy winner in the smoky class at the mid- 
western shows.
