NOWETA ROSE 
(562) Fischer 1950 (85) 
A sensational lavender rose that opens up to 12 florets with 
most of the remaining buds in color. Tremendous propaga- 
tor but less than average germinator for us. Noweta Rose 
is an A-1 exhibition flower. Among its winnings this past 
summer was that of Grand Champion at the Lebanon, Pa., 
show. Later and more complete show reports will un- 
doubtedly show Noweta Rose with many more major awards 
to its credit.

(Blbts. 8-.25; 100-2.50) 
OPECHEE (486) Deam 1949 (90) 
Old rose with lavender overlay and carmine feather on the 
lower petals. Opens up to 8 on tall, straight spikes. Fine 
bulblet producer; good grower from bulblets. 
(L 1-.40; 10-3.20) (M 1-.25; 10-2.00) ( S 2-.30; 10-1.20) 
(Blbts. 10-.40; 100-2.50) 
PARTHIENA 
(568) Hitchcock 1949 (80) 
A very unusual and attractive deep lavender, almost a pur- 
ple. Opens up to 8 lightly frilled blooms on long flower- 
heads. Fine, healthy grower. Makes jumbo bulblets which 
produce salable spikes. Has a wonderful show record. 
(L 2-.40; 10-1.60) (M 2-.30; 10-1.20) (S 10-.80) 
(Blbts. 25-.35; 100-1.00) 
PATRICIAN (566) Scheer 1947 (87) 
Smooth, even shade of lavender—almost a self color. Opens 
up to 7 florets on a somewhat short flowerhead. Prolific 
bulblet producer and near perfect germinator. 
(L 2-.30; 10-1.20) (M 3-.30; 10-.80) 
(Blbts. 100-.60) 
PATROL (416) Palmer 1946 (77) 
A light apricot with a yellow throat that opens up to 10 
tightly attached florets with most of the remaining buds 
showing color. Foliage shows some discoloration but bulbs 
are clean and healthy. Patrol can produce marvelous spikes. 
Grand Champion at the following 1952 shows: Minnesota, 
Central International at Sioux City, and Western Massa- 
chussets. 
(L 1-.25; 10-2.00)) (M > 2-.30; 10-1.20) (S:° 3-25; 10-:65) 
(Blbts. 10-.25; 100-2.00) 
PERDITA (317) Grout 1948 (90) 
A very attractive deep golden yellow with bright scarlet 
throat darts. Opens up to 8 very heavily ruffled florets of 
firm texture. Fast increaser and good grower from bulblets. 
A good spike of Perdita is usually a contender for “300 size 
Sectional Champion.” Best R.I. at the 1952 Mt. Pleasant, 
Mich., show. 
(L 1-.25; 10-2.00) (M 2-.25; 10-1.00) (S 10-.50) 
(Blbts. 15-.25; 100-.75 ) 
From Aitkin, Minnesota 
Your package arrived here Saturday in fine shape. As 
usual your stock is very fine. Thanks a lot for the ex- 
ceptionally fine, large, high crowned bulbs of Birch Red 
and Red Wing. Don’t know how I could say more as I 
am delighted.
