FIRE GLEAM (Jack). A large exhibition type of 
fiery scarlet color. Heavy white line on a darker 
lip. Early. 
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (Harris). One of the 
finest of the new whites. Up to eight blooms open 
on a tall, straight spike. Considered a grand com- 
mercial and show flower by all the growers and 
destined to be one of the best in its color. 
FORT KNOX (Torrie-Graff). Fine medium self yel- 
low. One of the best in this color. A good rival for 
Gold with more buds and longer tlower heads. 
Ruffled and of heavy substance. Opens 6 to 8 
florets. 
FRASER (Harris). Extremely deep heavily ruffled 
salmon with deeper throat. A grand commercial 
or exhibition variety. 
FRIENDSHIP (Fischer). A beautiful soft pure ruf- 
fled pink of the shade all will fall in love with. 
Opens up to 8 nicely placed blooms on a medium 
spike. If you like a pure pink, you must have this 
one. 
GIANT CYCLAMEN (Higgins). Very attractive 
light rose. Opens several lavender-rose, well placed 
flowers. Color somewhat similar to Miss Wisconsin 
but perhaps better. 
GOLD (Marshall). A new wonderful rich yellow 
variety that has become the sensation in the yel- 
low class. Strong healthy grower that has won 
many ribbons and can’t help being a grand com- 
mercial. 
| GORGEOUS DEB (Wilson). A new light salmon 
with intense ruffling and opens up to 9 well placed 
blooms on a tall straight spike. 
GREEN LIGHT (Pfitzer). In big demand on account 
of its chartreuse color. Buds have a greenish gloss, 
with open florets of a lighter color. 
HARRY HOPKINS (Salman). A grand rose red 
with nice spike and good placement. A fine cut 
flower with excellent placement. 
HEIRLOOM (Klein). Probably the most talked of 
1952 release. A clear orchid lavender with no 
flecking. Has a grand show record and should be- 
come one of the finest of new introductions. 
HOWARD V. WRIGHT (Kadel). A new light yel- 
low without markings, somewhat deeper in throat. 
Opens 8 or more at a time. 
JUNE DAY (Roberts). Extremely early blooming 
pure pink with a small cherry blotch. Opens up to 
seven florets on a medium tall spike. The earliest 
bloomer in the field as a rule.

KAREN (Mazur). Clear medium magenta shading 
lighter toward the throat, with the three lower 
petals showing a sulphur color. Very attractive. 
KAREN MARIE (Majeski). An exquisite white that 
is superbly blended with a cream to yellow throat. 
Height of spike 50 inches with a flower head of 
23 inches. Opens 5-7 nicely ruffled florets on an 
18-bud spike. An approval award received from 
NAGC test gardens in 1950. 
KATHY LEE (Fairchild). A heavily ruffled lemon 
yellow that is very attractive. Flower head a little 
short but opens up to eight wide open blooms of 
good substance. 
KING DAVID (Carlson). Deep royal purple, with 
rich red velvet throat. Very ruffled, winged and 
fluted. Florets are large with a picotee edging. It 
has many show winnings and rated one of the 
best. 
LADY ANNE (Buch). An excellent prospect in the 
early whites. Blends to a canary yellow throat 
which adds to its attractiveness. Opens seven flo- 
rets on a well balanced spike with a good flower 
head. 
LAVENDER LACE (Fischer). A massive lavender 
with glowing creamy throat. Beautiful in color and 
a good cut flower. 
LITTLE SWEETHEART (Fischer). The finest mini- 
ature that you can buy. Pure pink with large 
snowy throat makes it so beautiful that you will 
be convinced that the small ones can be great. 
LOOK (Taylor-Rockley). Very promising new light 
pink that no doubt will become a grand commer- 
cial. Six or more open on a tall slender spike. Good 
habits and a real glad.
