CHINOOK (Lines ’49) 532 (ML). A grand color, this is another giant of 
the glad world, with long stretchy spikes that have often won the title 
of “longest flowerhead,” as it did last summer at a North Carolina show 
with a 35-inch head. Named for the Chinook salmon, and quite close to 
the color of this western game fish, it is a fairly deep pink-salmon, or 
orange-pink if you prefer, with a barely noticeable deepening of the same 
color in the throat. Practically a self color. 7 or 8 huge flowers will open 
at a time. At the Yakima Western International last summer the winning 
basket of Chinook was later displayed in the lobby of Yakima’s new Chinook 
Hotel where it was the subject of much comment and interest. Chinook has 
been a good propagator but bulblets are not too easy to sprout usually.

CHOCTAW (Wilson ’48) 491 (ML). Light chocolate with an orange-scarlet 
throat; very interesting. Not a very tall grower, it usually has a good 
flowerhead but a short stem below. Makes lots of small bulblets. 
M .30, Bits. 10—.20 
CLOTH OF GOLD (Briggs ’49) 420 (E). A fine color and can make nice 
spikes, although not too tall. 6-8 good sized open florets of a lovely shade 
of golden orange that is possibly the nearest approach so far to a true 
orange color.

COACHMAN (Woods ’49) 430 (EM). This variety makes about as massive 
a spike as it has ever been our pleasure to see. The color is very good 
too, an attractive pure pink with a faint deeper stippling in the throat, 
lighter midribs. Up to 9, 10, or even more large flowers are open at once 
on compact double-row spikes. Not so very tall as it grows here; the 
originator says it is one of his best commercials. With us the flowerhead 
is plenty long but the handle a little short. Should be a good show 
variety; a grand garden flower.

CO-ED (E. H. Lins ’51) 542 (M). We like this tall new pink for its very 
apparent good commercial cutflower qualities. The lightly frilled florets 
are slightly on the rosy side of pink, with lip petal about two-thirds cream. 
Six 5-inch flowers will open on tall very uniform spikes. In color perhaps 
not so different than some other pinks, but seems to have more vigor than 
many of them. Good increaser. 
M .40, S .20, Bits. 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00 
COLOGNE (Roberts ’48) 342 (EM). Definitely one of the more fragrant 
glads, with a pleasing color as well. A rather deep pink or soft scarlet with 
a small cream center, it is a very bright, attractive bouquet glad. If left 
to bloom in the field the flowers lose most of their fragrance after a few 
hours of hot sunshine, but when cut and brought inside a few spikes will 
soon perfume a whole room, with the scent persisting for a day or two. 
Florets not large, 5-6 open on tall, willowy stems.

COLONIAL DAME (Barrett 49) 367 (M). A much admired lavender with 
abundant florescence and a distinctive color combination. It will open 
from 8 to 10 medium-small florets, closely placed on fairly good spikes, 
not too tall. Color is light lavender with a dark lavender center; the florets 
-are nicely waved and ruffled. Foliage usually has a whitish tinge that 
seems to be characteristic of the variety, and not a mosaic or other dis- 
ease. This apparent lack of chlorophyll does not seem to affect quality 
of bloom or health of the bulbs. We note that Colonial Dame took the 2nd 
Day championship award at the Dover, New Jersey show last summer.
