SUNNY CHIP (Schafer-’53) 80 days-421 
(Orange Gold x Picardy 
I have seen this variety as a seedling for the past two years 
at many of the Empire State Shows. For some reason or other, 
I have learned not to become too enthused over every seedling 
that comes into the limelight, but this variety fills a need both 
to us and the color class. First, I believe there are very few 
varieties in the orange class that will successfully compete with 
SUNNY CHIP, on the show table. Second, we need a good 
orange as a commercial variety. 
The rugged green foliage, plant and bulb carry all the good 
characteristics of the Orange Gold parent while it has that extra 
stretch and number of buds submitted by Picardy. It makes 17 
to 18 buds, 6 open, and 7 showing color, on a 26-inch flower 
head, which has an informal placement. It has a nicely ruffled 
and waved orange-apricot floret with a small vermilion feather 
on the lower petal that tends to put life into the flower. Shape 
of the floret is triangular and is 4°4 to 5 inches across. It has 
a medium wiry stem and medium upright foliage. Bulblet pro- 
duction and germination is good. 
$3.00 each, any size; $24.00 per 10, any size. 
1 Buib, 10 Bulblets for $5.00 
5 ig.; 2 med.; 3 sm.; 100 bibts. for $40.00 
(Bulbiets sold only with bulbs) 
PEACELIGHT (Kadel-’53) 82 days-410 
(Gardenia x Myrna x Mamie x New Era) 
PEACELIGHT is a clear, medium yellow with a soft 
greenish glow. Its large, wide open florets with recurved petals 
are borne on a tall, strong stem. It opens 7 florets with 5 more 
showing color on an 18-bud spike. 
Peacelight 
While PEACELIGHT will hold its own on the show table, we feel its greatest suc- 
cess will be as a cut flower. This opinion is based on its color value, its excellent sub- 
stance, the fact that it is a tall, vigorous grower and that it propagates readily, making 
strong growth from bulblets. It grows 56 inches tall and blooms in 82 days. 
Its unusual phosphorescent glow attracted much attention from the hobbyists and com- 
mercial growers who saw it exhibited at the Union, Havre de Grace and Binghampton 
shows last summer. 
$3.00 per bulb, any size; 10 bulbs and 100 bulblets 
$24.00 per 10, any size. for $40.00 
1 bulb ard 10 bulblets for $5.00; (Bulblets sold only with bulbs)
