Gero LUS OF DISTINCTION 21 
MOTHER FISCHER 400 (Fischer ’51) One of the best of the new whites, immaculately 
chaste, heavily ruffled and strong in vigor and growth. Surpassed only by Evangeline 
in height. Sometimes shows a trace of pink in cool weather. Ruffling and florescence 
leave nothing to be desired. 
L $1.00; M .75; S .50; Blbts. 3 for .25; 10 for .75 
MT. GEM 436 (Requa 46) One of the better reds from West of the Rockies. Still not 
widely grown in the East. It is a beautiful shade of deep scarlet with light silver edge. 
Strong, vigorous and tall grower, a real worthy red. 
L .15; M 2 for .20; S 3 for .20; Blbts. 25 for .20; 100 for .60 
NANCY 442 (Arnett 49) A bright scarlet red that has won numerous Trial Garden awards.

A wonderful commercial prospect. 
L .15; Blbts. 100 for .25 
NEWPORT WHITE 500 (Oesterling 49) Newport White is a real find in snow white glads. 
Bulblets are among the strongest of growers and many grow into large size bulbs and 
commercial blooms. Early season in blooming.

NEW YORKER (Graff ’50) The color of New Yorker is a very delicate shade of pink. It 
has a heavy midrib that is somewhat lighter than the petals. The two lower petals have 
a light throat marking and a small amount of red peppering in the throat. This gives 
it a little extra life buoyancy. The stamens and pistol are light pink. It attains a 
height of 55 to 60 inches, having a total of 20 to 22 buds on a perfect balanced wiry 
stem. Facing and placement are excellent. The spike opens 6 to 8 florets of good 
texture and lasting qualities; edges of florets are slightly frilled. Good bulblet increaser 
and excellent germinator with many bulblets blooming. 
L $2.00; M $1.50; S $1.00; Blbts. .25 each; 10 for $2.00; 100 for $16.00 
NOWETA ROSE 560 (Fischer 50) Noweta Rose is a clean, cool, lavender-rose color. It 
readily grows 5 ft. tall and is unexcelled for florescence, opening as it does 10 to 12 
giant size blooms out of a total of 22-24 buds. Tho large, it is not floppy, but has 
excellent substance and great beauty of form. Buy Noweta Rose for a thrill when it 
blooms and to win grand championships. 
L $1.00; M .75; S .50; Blbts. 2 for .25; 10 for $1.00 
ORCHID FANTASY 466 (Siemsen 751) Orchid Fantasy is a glad that should be in big 
demand by florists. Florets average 41 inches across, 7 opening at once. One good 
feature is that it stands heat well; it will not wilt during the hottest part of the day. 
Bulblets are easy to germinate; production is good. 
L $3.00; Blbts. .35 each; 10 for $3.00 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE 420 (Quackenbush °47) Because of its beauty, high color value, 
ability to open in water when cut in bud, growing habits and ease of propagation, 
October Sunshine will merit the interest of cut-flower growers. The color blends from 
orange to golden yellow throat. Open 5 to 6 recurved florets on an 18-bud spike with 
about 8 buds showing color. Spikes are straight, florets well spaced and attached, 
lower floret occasionally may come misplaced. 
L 2 for .20; M 2 for .15; S 4 for .20; Blbts. 100 for .50 
OPECHEE 486 (Deam ’49) The smoky that is different. Smoky old rose with lavender 
overlay and carmine feather on lower petals. This is one that the ladies like as it is 
not as bizarre as some of the smokies. 
L .60; M .40; S .25; Blbts. 3 for .20; 10 for .60 
ORANGE GOLD 420 (Marshall ’45) Large wide open lustrous orange blooms with golden 
throat. Informal type, opening 6 large wide open blooms with a total of 16 buds. 
Flowerheads not exceptionally long but it has a good cutting stem. Blooms quite early 
here. Orange Gold is said to be valuable for hybridizing, especially to produce good 
yellows. It is one of the parents of the sensational 1951 yellow release, Gold.
