EXOTIC Exotic was one of the top attention getters in our garden the 
past two years. If you like pastels you will surely be pleased with Exotic. 
Produces a 22” flower head with 20 buds, 8 open, 6 in color. Florets are a 
beautiful, delicate bluff-toned salmon, blending to pure, soft, blush white 
throat, often 6” wide. Rated excellent in several trial gardens. A favorite 
with us.

FORT KNOX A real competitor for Gold. Color just a trifle lighter, 
but flower heads are much longer, more buds, more open. Has fine ruffling 
and is an excellent grower and propagator. This past season produced 
some of the largest and finest spikes of any yellow I have ever seen. This 
is an Al commercial.

FORTUNE 1954 (422) A rich, attractive, golden orange with no mark- 
ings. An Orange Gold seedling with purer color and long flower heads. 
Opens 6 of 19 buds, 6 in color. This has been a popular seedling at our 
Wisconsin shows the past few seasons. Best 3-spike seedling at Jefferson 
Seedling 1953 show. Fine attachment, placement and good keeping quali- 
ties. A real promising commercial. 
L. $1.50, M. $1.00, Sm. 60c, Bts. 20c, 10/1.00 
FROLIC This is my favorite miniature. Most intense and beautiful 
coloring and ruffling. Florets 3” in a beautiful, deep yellow with intensely 
colored blotch of scarlet on lower petals and lighter blotch on upper 
throat. 5-6 florets open on 16 bud spike. Frolic is a cross of Pactolus 
X Wedgewood and has combined the best qualities of each. Frolic will 
be a real find for retail florists because of its excellence for design work. 
They will like its intensely rich coloring. 
$2.00 Any Size, Bts. 25c, 10/2.00 
FRONTIER (530) MHere’s one which I rated as tops of the many, many 
new varieties in my gardens this year. The outstanding feature of Frontier 
is that its florets last and last while in bloom in the field. This was so 
noticeable that I called it to the attention of many visitors. Also, one of 
the very tallest in my field. Really outstanding. Florets 514”, light salmon
