Spotlight x Myrna x (Mamie x New Era) 
Howard V. Wright is light yellow with a somewhat deeper throat. 
It opens eight 5-inch florets with five more showing color on a 
20-bud spike. Length of flower head is 29 inches. Its wide open 
florets have plain, recurved petals. 
Plant is strong and vigorous with broad, deep green foliage. 
Bulblet production and germination are excellent.

1949 “A” rating and best seedling, Keystone. 
1950 “A” rating and runner-up for best seedling, Maryland. 
1951 American Home Achievement Medal, Maryland and East- 
ern International. 
I have not grown this but saw it at the Keystone Show this season 
and it looks like a real good addition to the weakest color class 
we have, if commerciality is considered. 
Any size bulb, $5.00; 1 bulb and 10 bulblets, $10.00

MESA MIST (Hartman 490-85 to 90 days) 
We are always looking for something new, something different. 
It seems to be a characteristic of the American people. We found 
a different color in Mesa Mist. It’s difficult to describe, yet the 
smoothest, cleanest self—I almost said smoky—as it does almost 
fall in that class. It may even yet be classified as a smoky but I 
am inclined to think it should be a 490. The color is a sparkling 
rich gray tone and just about as near a self as it could be. The 
florets are round in shape and opens 6 on an 18-bud spike. Its 
worst fault is that it will sometimes break over in a wind as the 
stems are somewhat hollow. But in spite of this fault, it is going to 
create some attention. At the Lima Show, our three-spike exhibit 
caused much comment as it is truly strikingly different. Good 
propagator. 
Any size bulb $2.00; 1 buib and 10 bulblets $4.00

GWEN -The Florist’s Favorite in Cut Flowers 
We now have enough stock of @WEN so we have had some for cut flowers and the 
florists love it. It’s one of those colors that when massed together is rich and beautiful. 
As a cut flower producer, it is tops. A variety that is consistently tall and stretchy. 
No short stems in this variety, and that is really important in a season like 1951, with 
8 weeks with less than 1% inch of rain. Bulblets consistently throw spikes three to 
four feet high when color seldom shows in 75% of the other varieties we grow. 
GWEN will be a “must-have” for those interested in cut flowers. Better get a start with 
small bulbs or bulblets. See Page 21.
