Three excellent introductions from Paul Savelief. 
Mr. Savelief has been hybridizing for many years and has developed 
a strain which accents fine ruffling, rich coloring and real new 
beauty. You will do well to stock his releases and make an early 
start with them as I am confident that the coming years will find 
his introductions among the very best. I visit his gardens often 
during the blooming season and know exactly what he is doing. 
I’ve seen the following introductions bloom in his field and am 
willing to give them my stamp of approval. 
GOLDENROD, Savelief 55, Class 412 
GOLDEN DAWN X GOLD Deep clear yellow with no markings. 
Florets wide open, good texture and does not burn, slightly ruffled. 
8-10 open in formal placement, 6-8 in color on 20-22 bud spike. 
Flower head 30 inches, height 5%-6 ft. Bulblet production and 
germination good. An exceedingly fine new yellow. We need good 
commercials in yellow and Goldenrod looks most promising to fill 
the need. The fine, formal, well proportioned spikes will also place 
it in the winning column at the shows. 
L. or M. $3.00, L. or M. with 10 Bts. $6.00 
BONNIE ANNIE LAWRIE, Savelief 55, 442 Purest pink with 
contrasting creamy lip blending into a white throat .. . Exquisite 
ruffling. Florets 414-5” with 5 to 6 open, 5 showing color on Bey 
flower head. Height 45-48”, 16-18 buds. Healthy with bulblet pro- 
duction and germination good. 70 days. Here is a really beautiful 
introduction to add to your collection of pink varieties. We have 
lots of pinks, but not many good ones.

PITLOCHRIE, Savelief 1955, (536) A giant orange scarlet with 
big red blotch on a silvery-grey background so that a silvery margin 
extends beyond the blotch. A very harmonious and arresting effect 
—nothing quite like it. Florets 6” or over, wide open, triangular, 
fluted and very ruffled. Heavy texture, very good attachment. 70-75 
days, no crooking, with cutting stem. Height 5-6 ft, 22 buds, 6-7 
giant florets open, 7-8 showng color, 30” flower head. Bulblet produc- 
tion fair, germination good. Has an interesting parentage; Dieppe X 
seedling of Picardy X Lemoine’s Tragedie (a small silvery grey, 
bell shaped floret with strong red blotch for which Lemoines were 
famous). Really an outstanding new blotched variety which are now 
becoming so much in demand.
