MARVELOUS (E. H. Lins ’51) 443 (M). Clear deep pink with a slight 
rosy hue and a showy scarlet blotch. About 7 large heavily-ruffled round 
florets of thick substance are open on tall stems; flowerheads not stubby 
but not too long. Believe you will like Marvelous, as we do, for its 
different and attractive color combination and beautiful florets. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .50, Bits. .20 each, 10—$1.50 
MIGHTY MONARCH (Butt 746) 552 (M). Still one of the best in its 
color; a fine red from the originator of so many good ones. Always one 
of our best sellers. A fairly dark red, still very rich and showy; a shade 
or two lighter in tone than Birch Red. Mighty Monarch will open 7 to 9 
large flowers on very tall, rather willowy but always straight stems; 
extra long stretchy flowerheads. a os 
M 2—.25, Blts. 20—.25 
MISS CHICAGO (Buckheit ’49) 560 (M). Pale lavender rose with a good- 
sized yellow throat spot. Florets are extremely large, and a goodly 
number are open at once, although flowerheads are not very long. A 
rather unusual;color that attracts those who admire the more delicate 
shades in glads. « 
L $1.00, M .75;-S .50, Blts. 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00 
MISTAYA (Ketcheson ’47) 586 (M). Still a popular novelty is this huge 
gray with slightly deeper lavender-gray center. A really striking novelty, 
although the massive florets get rather floppy in hot weather. Another 
annual sellout with us; we advise early ordering. 
L 2—.25, M 3—.25, S 6—.25, Blts. 40—.25, 100—.50 
MOTHER FISCHER (Fischer ’51) 400 (M). One of the better new whites, 
with seven 5-inch ruffled florets open on tall straight spikes. There are 
usually faint light lavender lines, and a few darker dots in the throat, 
although it passes for a pure white. A good propagator and fair bulblet 
germinator. Makes graceful, sturdy spikes that you will like for cutting 
or for show. This variety was 2nd Day Champ at Minnesota; Best R. I. 
at Hibbing, Minn., and Twin Cities, Wis., 1951 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Blts. 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
NOWETA ROSE (Fischer 750) 560 (M). A large rosy lavender with a 
deeper throat dart. Its amazing florescence (up to 12 open) has made 
this variety a favorite show glad. Not all spikes are tall but a really 
good one is nothing short of sensational. A fine propagator and has been 
a healthy grower with us. Noweta Rose was Grand Champion at Cedar 
Rapids last year; Reserve Champ and 2nd Day champion at Hibbing, 
Minnesota; Best Recent Introduction, Texas, and Waterloo, Iowa; first 
choice in N.E.G.S. Hall of Fame class; also highest rating exhibition light 
rose in N.A.G.C. symposium. If you are looking for some real good stock 
of Noweta Rose for those 1952 champion spikes you are hoping for, we 
suggest you try our bulbs. They are bright and clean and should really 
produce for you. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Blts. 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE (Quackenbush ’47) 420 (EM). The best com- 
mercial orange here, and we note that other growers share our high 
opinion of it. Color is not far from that of Patrol; a little brighter shade 
of buff-orange with a glowing yellow center. Placement not always per- 
fect, but a florist’s favorite with its extra nice color and reliable growing 
habits. 6-7 good sized flowers open at once on fairly tall spikes. 
L 2—.30, M 2—.20, S 4—.20, Blts. 20—.25, 100—$1.00 
“RED CHERRY is absolutely the best red I’ve ever seen. It blooms 
early, the florets are large and of good substance, glistening and non-fading.”
