Variety 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE (Quackenbush-’47) 
420-85 
Orange blending to a golden yellow throat. 
Opens 6 to 18 buds at once. Fine growing hab- 
its and good propagator. The cut-flower grower 
will surely want this one. 
OGARITA (Wilson-’42) 532-90 
A huge rose-salmon shading to a _ golden 
throat. Opens 8 blooms on an exceptionally tall 
plant. Extra long flower head. Towers above 
everything else in the garden. Opens well from 
tight bud. A show winner every time. 
ON THE BEAM (Krieg-’47) 411-85 
If you want a nice exhibition bloom, this is it. 
A very attractive light yellow with a small 
pale red blotch. This variety did very well for 
us this past season. 
ORANGE GOLD (Marshall-’45) 422-80 
A real orange with no markings. Opens 6 large 
florets that are wide-open. Fine propagator. 
OREGON RED (R. H. Pruitt-’40) 522-90 
Giant bright scarlet red with frosty white 
throat. Very nice. 
ORIENTAL PEARL (Carlson-’46) 506-90 
The largest cream in its color class. Called the 
Wonder Glad of 1946. Florets have been 
grown to 7” from large bulbs and bulblets 
bloom up to 6”. Fine attachment to stem makes 
this big cream a fine commercial in spite of its 
large size. Grows straight and is good shipper. 
PACTOLUS (K & M-’47) 418-85 
Apricot cream with orange red blotches. Opens 
8 with many more showing color. A fine per- 
former. A row of this makes a bright spot in 
any garden. We like it. 
PARTHIENA (Hitchcock-’49) 566-80 
A striking deep lavender with a darker 
throat. A color half way between a deep lav- 
ender and a purple. It won many times as a 
seedling and won the American Home Achieve- 
ment award at the 1948 Binghamton Show. 
Opens up to 8-9 lightly frilled blooms on an 
average spike. Good healthy grower which 
produces plenty of big bulblets that grow and 
bloom. Won best vase at Binghamton, best 
single spike and best R.I. at NEGS Boston 
show (1949). 
PATRICIAN (Scheer-’47) 566-87 
Lovely medium shade of lavender. Sometimes 
flecks in very hot weather, but under ordinary 
conditions is clear. Opens up to 7 very large 
recurved florets on a strong straight spike. 
Good attachment and placement. Healthy 
grower and a producer of many bulblets which 
germinate very easily.
