ARDELL (Krueger ‘52) 
406 
We are very proud of all our °52 introductions, but the consistent performance of 
Ardell, the rugged ruffled cream commercial, without a peer in its class, deserves special 
comment. Height, holding power, easy germination, secure attachment, earliness, are 
among its many virtues. 
Our florists ask for Ardell by name. 
Ardell opens 7 ruffled, round florets of 414” size, on a 20 bud spike .It grows 
to a field height of 60”. Planting stock and bulblets often attain slightly lesser height.

BADGER ROSE (Krueger ‘52) 
460 
A vivid rose color of Badger Rose played an excellent role in helping Reliance 
Gardens to several “firsts” in displays even though only bloom from very small planting 
stock was available at “show time”. 
Badger Rose has a lively rose color, deeper than Miss Wisconsin, with two darker 
rose throat marks parenthesized with cream areas. It opens 8 or more 5” florets at 
one time on 20 bud spikes which reaches 60” field height. It blooms in early season. 
Badger Rose grows like a weed from bulblets which are produced in profusion. 
Like Ardell, Badger Rose may be bested on the show table, but in the field it is 
not bested. 
One large cataloguer wrote to me over a year ago that Badger Rose was the best 
in over 200 seedlings.

KON-TIKI (Shepeck ’52) 
466 
A larger number of blooms of Kon-Tiki confirms my first year opinion that this 
extra early deep lavender with both a rose cast and a cream center is indeed a great com- 
mercial introduction, because of its intense color, consistency of spike formation, model 
placement, good height and health. Kon-Tiki will open 8 or more well attached florets 
at one time. 
You will make no mistake in adding Kon-Tiki to your commercial or hobby collec- 
tion. 
I will be indeed pleased when stock for Kon-Tiki is large enough for my cut flower 
trade. 
Price, each bulb. L—$1.25; M—$1.00; Sm.—75c; 10 bblts. for $1.25. 
LINDA B (Shaw ‘52) 
376 
A medium sized flower has to be good to reach my list. Linda B has the necessary 
good qualities. 
It will open 7 precision placed “blue violet” flowers at one time. 
Plants grow to a 45” height. The usual number of buds is 17. 
Florets are of 3” size. 
Linda B is a superb “make up” variety. 
Price, each bulb, L—$1.50; M—$1.00; Sm.—50c; 10 bblts. for $1.50 
TOMAHAWK (Graff ‘52) 
452 
A very functional medium red that is a commercially sound variety. 
The color of Tomahawk is similar to that of Redwing. It grows to a field height of 
50 inches. It opens 7 five inch blooms at one time. Health, increase and performance 
of Tomahawk are excellent. 
Price, each bulb, L—$1.25; M—$1.00; Sm.—75c; 10 bblts. for $1.25
