ROSETTE (Kuhn °42) — 260 M 
A ruffled light rose similar in general habits to 
Crinkles, and certainly a strong contender to that 
variety’s supremacy in the rose classes. Will open 
far more — 8 to 9, and I have seen 10 and 11 open. 
Placement not always too good, and sometimes 
crowded, but other virtues overshadow this in- 
frequent tendency. 
L. 15¢; M. 2-25e; S. 5-25c 
ROSEMAID (Brown) — 260 E 
An old variety still worthy of growing. Light rose 
with deep throat is the color. It’s early and prolific. 
Never a crook. Florists like it. 
L. 3-25c; M. 5-25c; S. 8-25c 
RUBY (Kuhn ’46) — 252 E 
A fine all-around performer. Florets are pure 
dark red without markings. Four to 5 will open 
on 15 bud spikes. This is a must have. It will 
please you and win for you. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢ 
SAINT CECILE (Whitby ’49) — 206 M 
A dainty cream with pink suffusion and laven- 
der throat stippling. Four to 5 open on 15 bud 
spikes. Saint Cecile is doing much better in the 
U. S. now that she is better oriented. 
L. 25c; M. 2-25c; S. 3-25¢ 
SILVERSIDES (Kuhn ’47) — 262 M 
Rosy red with deeper coloring in lip — a different 
than ordinary color. Seventeen-bud spikes hold 6 
open and have 6 colored in vertical placement. 
L. 25c; M. 20c; 8S. 10c 
SMILETTE (Sisson ’49) — 260 M 
Color is dusty rose with deeper rose lines on yellow 
throat. Slight ruffling adds distinction to this dif- 
ferent color combination. Opens 3 to 5 on compact 
spike of 14 to 15 buds. 
L. $1.50; M. $1.00; S. 75c 
SPOT O’ ROSE (Kinyon ’50) — 201 M 
Here is a white with a big spot of rose — a rare 
and much needed color break in small whites. The 
spot is deep rose set in the center of the nicely 
rounded florets which are arranged alternately 
and close together. Five will open, while 4 are 
showing color and 8 are green. 
L. 50c; M. 35c; S. 25¢ 
SPUNKY (Fairchild ’51) — 280 E 
Spunky is a welcome addition to the smokys — 
our weakest color class in small type glads. It is 
dark smoky plum with a white picotee margin in- 
herited from Atom, the pollen parent. Florets 
measure 2% inches, and 3 will open and 3 show 
color on spikes of 12 buds. 
L. $1.50; M. $1.25 
STARLET (Baerman ’44) — 200 M 
Starlet is one of the best whites, and it really is 
white — nice, clean and clear — not creamy. Flor- 
ets are nicely ruffled with 3 or 4 open on dainty, 
airy spikes of 12 buds. Beautiful subject for ar- 
rangements and a winner in spike competition. 
L. 15c; M. 2-25c; S. 3-25¢ 
STARTLING — 280 M 
Smoky lavender pink with rose throat. spears. 
Three laciniated florets open on 15 bud spike. An 
odd and pleasing flower in a weak color class, 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25c; 8. 5-25c¢ 
“Rulhs look very good. Many thanks for the generous 
overcount and extras.’’—RS., Wisc. 
“Your order arrived today; very prompt service, I must 
gay. May I also commend you on your choice of the gratis 
bulbs. Such nice new varieties.”"—J.H.B., Mo.
