SPIC & SPAN (Carlson ’46) 442 (M). Perhaps the most popular and 
widely-grown variety in existence, both for commercial and show purposes. 
It has largely supplanted Picardy as the best pink cut flower variety in 
many sections of the country, thanks to its fast propagating habits and 
fine lasting qualities. Its color is a clear, fairly deep salmon-pink with a 
faint throat line of subdued rose pink; practically a self color. Florets 
measure around 5 inches, altho it can be grown iarger by forcing. Up to 
10 open on good spikes that grow moderately tall, with fine long flower- 
heads. Ruffling, placement, and attachment of florets perfect; an easy 
grower and fine cutter. Spic & Span has probably won more championship 
awards than any other modern variety. A partial list of its Grand Champ- 
ionships at 1950 shows includes those at Tri-State, Illinois, Nebraska, 
Maryland, Missouri, Champaign, Elmira, and Tacoma, with numerous 2nd 
Day and Reserve championships, 3-spike awards, etc. A wonderful all- 
around variety that everyone should grow.

SPINDRIFT (Chase ’47) 400 (E-EM). A fine creamy white with a light 
yellow throat. A tall grower, opening 6 to 8 large flowers on very good 
spikes. Quite an early bloomer which we would describe as a much im- 
proved Myrna. A winner of many prizes including a Grand Championship 
at Binghamton a few years ago, and 1950 wins at Toledo (Best large size 
A I.), and at N.E.G.S. early show (Grand Champion). A very lovely 
lower.

STATUETTE (Butt 750) 213 (VE). A welcome companion to the same 
originator’s Marionette, and we found that some fanciers preferred the 
softer more diffused throat marking of Statuette to the more spectacular 
contrast of the other. The extremely small, dainty florets, 6 to 8 of which 
are open at once, are of heavy substance and nicely ruffled. They are 
quite closely and regularly placed on rather short, sturdy but graceful 
stems. The base color is a clear light to medium yellow with a not too 
prominent darker center. One of the best of Len Butt’s small-flowered 
varieties.

STORMY WEATHER (Barrett ’47) 480 (EM-M). One of our favorite 
smokies, with a lighter, more attractive color than most. A soft smoky 
rose with an infusion of slate gray toward the edges; throat stippled rose 
on the deep cream center and midribs. Somewhat ruffled five-inch florets, 
7 to 9 of which are open at a time on tall, graceful willowy spikes that are 
always straight. Total bud count 22 or more. A fine grower and propagator, 
and a grand glad in the ever popular smoky group. 
L $1.00, M.75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.75, 100—$6.00 
SUNBEAM (Kuhn ’49) 320 (E). In effect a smaller Skylark, altho not so 
much ruffling. The clear orange florets have a bright yellow throat, and 
measure about 4 inches, with 6 or 7 open at once. An early bloomer that 
should make a good commercial, at least with those growers who can use 
the medium sized varieties. An improvement in color over such varieties 
as Bit o’Heaven. Very prolific. 
L. 50, M.35, 8.25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00 
SUNDANCE (Almey ’49) 412 (EM). We consider this one of the very 
finest yellow varieties originated to date. The color is very clear and good, 
medium to deep yellow without markings. It opens more florets than most 
yellows—8 to 10 in perfect placement. Flowerheads are long, usually with 
21 or 22 buds. Heavy substance and ruffling complete a lovely picture. We 
wouldn’t want to be without Sundance, and you won't either when you 
see it. Rates next to the older Spotlight as best deep yellow in the N.A.G.C. 
Symposium.
