MARY ANNE 301 (Klein) E This variety has a 
rather short head but a wonderfully beautiful 
flower. Wonderful for arrangements, corsages, 
etc. Good propagator and one the discriminating 
will certainly like. White with pink bordered 
petals.

MAUVIE ROSE 462 (Wesselman) E Deep rose 
at the edge shading lighter toward the throat 
with a rose lavender blotch. Not too refined a 
color but valuable because of its earliness. 
L 2/.25, M 3/.25, S 5/.25, B Pkg./.25. 
MAXA 530 (Pruitt) M Tall buffy pink shading 
to light salmon. Small rosy feather in the throat,

up to 8” across. 
L .35, M .25, S .20, B 10/.25. 
MAX REGER 377 (Pfitzer) EM Medium light 
blue with white lines in the throat. One of the 
best blues and probably the most beautiful. Not 
a fast propagator.

MAY TARRANT 545 (Tarrant) M_ Deep sal- 
mon rose, almost bordering on the cherry red, 
with a white throat. Opens 7-8, 6’’ blooms on a

home garden. Don’t miss this.

MAZDA 416 (Leffingwell) M This variety has 
been around for three or four years but has not 
really got goirg yet. Has not had the proper 
publicity. It is a wonderfully fine variety as a 
commercial and for the show bench also. A 
basket at the Binghamton show last year at- 
tracted a great deal of attention. Color is quite 
similar to Patrol, but it is earlier and possibly a 
better doer. One of the really fine varieties on the 
market. Opens up to 10 well placed and attached 
blooms on a long spike. One of the best buffs. 
L .25, M .20, S 2/.25, B 15/.25,100/1.50. 
MECCA 466 (Taylor) M Beautiful bright rosy 
lavender with a rose red thumb mark. Opens 6 or 
more well placed blooms on a tall slender willowy 
stem. This came from Fischer’s seed and from the 
same cross as Noweta Rose, Elmer’s Rose and 
others. Very nice.

MEG 412 (Pruitt) M Clear medium yellow 
shading somewhat darker on the lip. Ruffled, 
rolled, fluted and needlepoint. Strong grower

black red with rosy tinge. Long flowerheads,

garden or for exhibition.

MID-AMERICA 550 (Knierim-Evans) M Clear 
brilliant unmarked light red. Huge smooth round 
florets up to 7” across. 10 well attached blooms 
on a spike sometimes reaching 36’. This is the 
best exhibition red grown. For some reason we 
have never had this but certainly should have 
had. Don’t miss it. Extremely popular. 
L 2/.30, M 2/.30, S 5/.25, B Pkg./.30. 
MIGHTY MONARCH 552 (Butt) M Huge 
tall strong plant. Opens 6-7 large blooms of a

bend over from sheer weight.
