SUSAN K 440 Midseason. Beautifully ruffled 
pink somewhat like Friendship but with a creamy 
yellow throat, giving it a much warmer tone than 
Friendship. It is an ideal florist color and will 
have its greatest value as a commercial cut 
flower, tho everyone will want it for his garden. 
Grows 4 feet or more tall with 16-18 buds and 
5-6 open. Regular placement and strong attach- 
ment. Good propagator. We shall certainly use 
lots of Susan K in our flower shop. One of the 
nicest things in my garden this past season.

HARRISBURGER 452 Late I think this 
variety hit me harder than any I grew last season. 
I can still see in my mind its exotically beautiful 
wavy blooms of the clearest deep cherry red. 
There is no scarlet or purple in it, just that clear 
thrilling red. I got only 6 open in my garden but 
the trial grounds reported 8. If it had but 4 I 
would still love it. Blooms are well placed and 
strongly attached to the long head of 20 florets. 
Grows about 5 feet tall. Very strong and healthy. 
Opens well to the tip. If we can get baskets of 
this to the shows this season it will create a sen- 
sation. In the NAGC trial grounds in 1952 it re- 
ceived 1 AA, 2 A’s and a B plus, being, next to 
Rosita, the highest) rated variety in the test 
gardens.

GOLDRUFF 312 (Seedling 43296) (Vassar x 
Diane) X Orange Gold) Midseason. This is one 
of the new Butterfly type that Mr. Palmer has 
been working on for several years and the most 
beautiful one to date. This type is only medium 
size but the ultimate in beauty of color and form. 
Goldruff is an entrancing warm unmarked apricot 
yellow shading deeper golden yellow in the throat. 
For arrangements and make up work it is as 
fine as anyone can imagine. I can’t conceive of 
anything more exquisite. Heavily ruffled and of 
heavy substance and well attached, 18-20 buds 
with 7-8 open on a head of 20-22 inches. Plants 
are dark green and healthy and with low foliage 
permitting easy cutting of a good stem. Gold 
Medal award in Canadian Trial Grounds.

REGINA 516 (Seedling 43098) (Picardy x 
Orange Gold) Early midseason. The variety 
everyone has been waiting for. Very deep yellow 
containing some apricot and with a small scarlet 
blotch. It might almost be called an orange. Very 
large waved and ruffled and flat open blooms of 
heavy substance and good attachment. Grows 
unusually tall with long heads and 7-8 of its 20 
buds open at a time. A good propagator and cut- 
ter. Gold Medal award in Canadian Trial 
Grounds. 
The above prosaic description can convey 
only a very slight impression of the beauty and 
grandeur of this variety. It is something you have 
to see to appreciate. No words can express its 
wondrous appeal. It is simply magnificent. Last 
August I took a spike to the Maine seedling show 
and everyone went wild over it. 
It does have one fault. From large bulbs it will 
sometimes crook or bend over a little but this is 
not serious enuf to prevent Regina from becoming 
one of the most popular varieties in existence.

SENEGAL 470 (Seedling 43142) (Lancaster X 
Minstrel) Early midseason. Brilliant red purple 
all purpose glad good for any use. Florets are

Combines well with most other colors. Has 18-22 
buds with 7-8 open. Good placement and attach- 
ment. Produces many bulblets that grow well. 
Received Canadian Trial Grounds award.

BRONTE = 583 (Seedling 41301) (Seedling x

many smokies but full of life. 8 or more large 
flat open well attached and placed blooms on a 
spike of 20-22 buds. Good propagator. 
Bronte is a bonus bulb as mentioned below.

BLOSSOMTIME 440 (Kadel) Midseason. 
Blossom Time is more than a name, it is a de- 
scription of the flower, a pure pink shading to a 
pure white center. It would be just as correct to 
call it white with a pink edge. The two colors
