Variety and Description 
ABU HASSAN (Helland-47) 378-77 
Dark violet-blue about the color of old Pelegrina. Larger 
flowers, straight strong stems. A very popular variety. 
ADORATION (Klein-48) 460-70 
Beautiful blush-pink with cream throat. A good commercial 
variety that opens 7-4% inch florets on a 24-inch flower 
head. 16-17 buds. A beautiful display of color. 
ALL GLORY (Toon-46) 423-70 
A large ruffled tangerine-orange with a royal purple 
blotch. Startling and attractive. 6-10 open. Good grower 
even from small bulbs. 
ALPINE (Palmer-44) 300-75 
Very fine 300 size nicely ruffled snow-white. Nearly every 
bud will show color. In my opinion the most beautiful of 
all whites. 
ANDRENA.  (arnostrong-50) 440- 
Pastel pink with pale yellow throat. A beautiful pastel 
blend that is a florist’s dream. 18-20 buds, 442-5 inch flor- 
ets and 6-7 regularly open. It opens well in water and holds 
size and color to tip. 
ANNAMAE (Pommert-40) 400-70 
Very early pure white, not a trace of other color in the 
bloom. A good commercial and a heavy producer of bulblets 
that grow readily. 
ATHENE (kuhn-49) 400-75 
Nearly a true white shading to a cream throat. 50-54 inches 
tall, 20-22 buds, 27 in. flower head. Never crooks and has 
a tough petal texture that never wilts in hot winds. Its 
perfect formal placement and number open make it an ex- 
tra choice white. 
AUREOLE (Pruitt-48) 410-80 
Richly ruffled medium yellow of unusual character and dis- 
tinction. Exceptionally heavy substance. This is destined 
to become a favorite of the connoisseur. 
BEAUTY’S BLUSH (Fischer-46) 540-85 
Cool, soft, blushing pink with lots of sparkle. It stands 
heat well. 7-8 flat, 5 in. saucer-like florets on a tall 18-20 
bud spike. Healthy and disease resistant. 
BENJAMIN BRITTON ik. & m.-49) 470-93 
One of the best of the new Holland introductions. This 
variety did especially well here this season. It’s a very deep 
shade of lavender with a white stripe. An unusual shade 
and very attractive. 
BETTY’S CHOICE (narris-45) 540-100 
Nicely ruffled rosy mauve with cream blotch. Petals edged 
cream. 6-8 open on a long flower head. A pleasing and 
different color combination. 
BETTY DUNCAN (Benedict-49) 422- 
Orange apricot with yellow throat, medium size florets, 
nicely frilled, and opening 6-7 at a time. Excellent com- 
mercial possibilities. Fine for make up work.
