MYRNA (Pruitt 39) 80 days 400 
Probably the most variable performer we grow. We have tried segreg- 
ating the better blooming bulbs with no benefits. When you get a good 
spike, it is really nice. Heavily ruffled ivory white, with an ivory cast 
to the buds before they open, but turning a clear white after opening. 
Can hold 6 or more open on exceptionally nice spikes, but not every bulb 
will do that.

NEW YORK (Salman 51) 80 days 562 
I would be more inclined to class as deep red rather than deep rose, 
but regardless, it is one of the newer ones to keep your eye on. Deep ecar- 
mine red, somewhat deeper than blood red. Holds up to 8 open on fine 
tall spikes, husky and well proportioned. Hach spike is almost a show in 
itself. Excellent show flower and a coming commercial. We had some 
trouble this year with some petals being bent back and failing to open 
fully, but regardless of that, it is a ‘comer’. Do not confuse with New 
Yorker.

NEW YORKER (Graff 50) 85 days 440 
Too bad we had two nice varieties come out the same time with almost 
the same name. New Yorker is an enchanting shade of pink with a some- 
what lighter midrib. There is a throat mark with some light peppering 
of red deep in the throat. Holds 6-8 open on tall wiry stems, plenty heavy 
enough to support its big flower head. Good propogator. Florets are ruff- 
led and well attached.

OCTOBER SUNSHINE (Quackenbush 47) 85 days 420 
Hard to beat for tall arrangements with its beautiful light orange flor- 
ets blending well with fall colors. The orange shades to a yellow throat, 
giving a harmonious combination. Spikes are tall and straight. Six open 
florets with the rest of the spike well balanced. Have had some trouble 
with the lower floret misplacing, otherwise excellent.

OGARITA ‘Wilson 42) 90 days 532 
For consistent growing of tall husky spikes, it is hard to find a glad 
that will do better than Ogarita. Florets are slightly fluted, with a crisp- 
ness that is hard to beat. Rose salmon in color, shading to a gold throat. 
Spike after spike up to six feet tall, almost impossible to hold a dozen 
spikes in one hand. This would be a good variety to raise for floor bask- 
ets or any work requiring long spikes.

OKLAHOMA (Wilson 45) 90 days 386 
If you like a nicely ruffled wide open floret of a grayish tone, look at 
Oklahoma. A very inconspicious throat of pink lilac blends into the gray 
edges and makes an exceptionally attractive spike. Attachment, texture, 
placement, and overall appearance is excellent. A nice smokie, and one 
that fits well into arrangements.

OPECHEE (Sonafrank 49) 90 days 486 
Gives the impression of smoky old rose color, but it has a lavender 
overlay and a carmine feather on the lower floret. Very attractive to the 
smokie fans. Florets are wide open on tall straight spikes. Holds about 6 
open - excellent attachment and placement.
