From ARTHUR ARENTUS 
Tan-Glo  480(Seedling S48348)LM A 
clear pastel tan with a rosy 
tint that should easily win in the smoky class 
and become one of the most outstanding show 
winners. It will open eight to eleven 5144”’ blooms 
on a 28” flower head with 22-24 buds. 60” over- 
all. A strong healthy grower and fast propagator. 
We are much taken by its fine clean color and its 
most reliable production of show caliber spikes. 
It is a real addition to the smokies. 
Its major show winnings to date include 
Champion seedling and Grand Champion of the 
show, Glens Falls, 1952; Champion seedling 
Conn., 1953; Champion 5-spike seedling Bing- 
hampton, 1953. To our knowledge it has never 
scored below B whenever shown. 
$3.00 any size, bulblets .50.

From THOMAS ARMSTRONG 
520(Seedling 4511) ((Lantana X 
Argosy (Amrita x Regent))M Techni- 
cally the color is shades of azalea pink with a 
large rich feathered throat of nasturtium orange. 
The general impression is a soft bright orange 
with a slightly darker feather—a very beautiful 
and distinctive color. 441% feet tall with a 20-23 
inch head with 18-20 buds. It opens six to 8 
5-6’ well placed and attached blooms with 
six showing color. Opens well in water to the tip. 
Good propagator with rather small bulblets that 
germinate well and often bloom. A fine free and 
easy grower. Has won numerous seedling and 
vase awards the past 5 years. In the Vermont- 
Ohio trials it rated 86. In our trials this past 
year we liked it very much. Makes grand spikes. 
$2.00 any size, 1 bulb and 10 bulblets $4.00.
