NEW for 1954... 
CELESTIAL ROSE (462) (Tivoli x Burma) 
GLISTENING clear light rose blending to a white throat. A very beautiful 
color. Opens 8 5” blooms with 6 buds in color on a 21 bud spike. Florets 
are beautifully formed and nicely ruffled. Attachment is good and the 
formal placement is near perfection. Flowerhead 27”, height 58”, blooms 
in 85 days. 
Celestial Rose is an easy grower that consistently produces good spikes. 
Should be tops as a commercial and a fine show glad also. 
This variety makes fine looking healthy bulbs and propagation and ger- 
mination are both good. 
(Seedling No. 48 - 151) 
FORTUNE (422) (OmpeeGolietSpatlient) 
BRIGHT clear golden orange without blotch or markings. Color about mid- 
way between Orange Gold and Patrol. The 4%” florets have slightly 
rolled back petals, giving it a needle point effect. Opens 6 to 7 with 6 
additional buds in color on a well balanced spike of 19 buds. Attachment 
is good and florets and buds are nicely spaced on a stretchy flowerhead 
of 28”. Field height 58”. 
Blooms in approximately 80 days. Fortune should prove to be a valuable 
addition to the orange class because of its bright glowing color and de- 
pendable growing habits. Makes well proportioned spikes even from 
small bulbs. 
Produces extra fine bulbs and is a good propagator and germinator. 
Seedling No. 47 - 131) 
MOTHER ANNE (466) (Pink padimice Hoosier Lady) 
MEDIUM rose - lavender blending to a small cream throat. The 434” florets 
are rather deep and nicely ruffled. Informal placement. Opens 7 to 8 on 
a well balanced spike of 21 buds. Six additional buds in color. Flower- 
head 28”, height 56”, blooms in about 75 days. 
We feel sure that this variety will prove to be an extra fine early cut 
flower. It has a distinctive color that holds up well as florets open up 
the spike. Plants are short so the tall spikes are easy to cut. Attachment, 
placement, and spacing are all that could be desired.
