MISS ALBERTA 401 (Torrie-Flad ’50) A pure informal white with a strikingly splashed 
lavender throat. Florets are 42-inch average size, ruffled and with lower petals fluted. 
The flowerhead is 20 to 24 inches and carries 17 to 19 buds, of which 5 to 6 open with 
6 to 8 in color. Miss Alberta is a vigorous grower, producing almost 100% cutable 
spikes which never crook and rarely misplace a floret. It blooms in early mid-season 
and bulblet production and germination are excellent. The light greenish cast of the 
many buds, together with the lavender throat against a pure white background, pro- 
duces perfect color harmony. For this reason it is especially desirable for baskets, 
arrangements and corsages. The florists who have seen it consider it an ideal glad for 
floral display and thus a perfect prospect for a commercial glad.

MISS CHICAGO 460 (Buckheit-Krueger °49) The beautiful color of Miss Chicago, rose 
with a lavender cast, and with an inverted yellow crescent is very appealing to both 
florists and fans. It opens 8 or more giant florets at one time on good spikes with a 20 
to 24 inch flowerhead which carries 18 to 20 buds. It is a conservat.ve producer of 
bulblets which germinate well.

MISS WISCONSIN 460 (Krueger ’43) One that has little competition among the rose pinks. 
It fills a gap in a color class that has heretofore been weak. One spike of Miss Wis- 
consin is practically a bouquet in itself, opening 6 to 8, five-inch florets. Spikes always 
come straight. Miss Wisconsin is an average propagator but makes most of its bulblets 
late in the season. Not the fastest of germinators but eventually come 100%.
