"E" means early, "M" midseason and "L" late blooming season, 
We are introducing our "XLO" (pronounced Excello) this season without heavy 
advertising because we wish it to prove its performance, and are as anxious to know 
where it does not do well as where it does. 
XLO is a sport of Dieppe with a clean deep salmon shade here. Color classifica~ 
tion given at Wabash, Indiana was 532 and it made best three spike in class. The 
previous showing was at Toledo in 1951 where it made Seedling Champ. 
For us it blooms in about 80 days, 5 to 7 lightly ruffled, 5 1/2 in. florets on 
a 19 bud spike; field height about 60 inches. Health and propagation are better for 
us than "Dieppe". Excellent spiking habits. 
The color is difficult to describe, such a rich smooth glowing coral salmon 
with slightly deeper blotch characteristic of the parent. 
Our florists are enthusiastic and visitors invariably pick it in a crowded 
basement of cut flowers as one "I want".
