GOLDEN DAWN (Savelief ’51) 410 (EM). We like this yellow for cutting, 
and so do our florists; it makes up beautifully in sprays and designs. Prac- 
tically a self color, medium to light in tone. The single lip petal is just a 
shade deeper yellow. 7 to 9 large florets are open on tall spikes. 
L .25, M 2-.30, S 2-.20, Bulblets 20-.25. 
GOLDRUFF (Palmer ’53) 312 (M). A lovely light buffy yellow with golden 
yellow lips. Florets are of the wide-flaring type, beautifully ruffled and 
fluted. We are particularly fond of Sprite, and this sister-seedling is very 
similar except for color. Goldruff opens a nice ribbon of color on moderately 
tall, sturdy spikes. We note that it won a Sectional Champ award at the 
Central New York show during the past season. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, Bulblets 4-.25, 10-.50. 
HARRIET (Everett 751) 370 (EM). Lovely in color, and probably the best 
medium-sized purple. It does have one fault, a definite weakness in the 
flowerhead which causes it to bend some when 7 to 9 florets of its multi- 
budded spike are fully open. A real royal purple, with faintly lighter midrib 
stripes; florets nicely ruffled. 
L 50, M .35, S .20, Bulblets 10-.20, 50-.75. 
HARRISBURGER (Mikle ’58) 552 (L). A marvelous red; large, very tall, 
and a rugged grower. Seems to have about everything one could ask for 
in a red, except perhaps an earlier blooming season. It may be rather late 
for the extreme northern tier of states. However, even our last planting of 
this variety, made in May, bloomed before freezing weather in spite of a 
killing frost that came two weeks earlier than normal last season. Harris- 
burger is a very strong husky grower, and a fine propagator. Plant it as 
early as you can to hit the August shows. But whether it blooms in August 
or September, you: will be thrilled with its beautiful scarlet red color, its 
huge wide-open flowers, and its mammoth spikes. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 4-.25, 10-.50, 100-$4.00. 
HEIRLOOM (Klein ’52) 566 (EM). Heirloom really came into its own here 
last summer, blooming just like the ads said it should! Some varieties have 
to be acclimated to new growing conditions, and this is probably one, as it 
gave many more tall spikes, proportionately, than in previous years. Our 
best spikes came from medium bulbs. A lovely shade of clear lavender, with 
a small white throat and midrib lines that blend nicely. Not heavily ruffled, 
but nicely frilled and fluted; 8 or 9 open. Heirloom won Grand Champion- 
ships in 1954 at Rochester, N. Y., and Ottawa, Canada; a Reserve Cham- 
pionship at the S. E. Michigan show. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 4-.25, 10-.50, 100-$3.50. 
HERALD (Palmer ’54) 317 (M). A salmon-toned light orange with some 
yellow on midribs toward the center, on which are superimposed a couple of 
scarlet darts. A distinctively different yet very pleasing combination. Florets 
are of medium size, rather similar in formation and placement to Sprite and 
Goldruff, of which it is a sister seedling. It opens quite a lot of florets at 
once, and they are nicely ruffled and of heavy substance. If you are fond 
of interesting combinations of bright, gay colors, you are sure to like Herald. 
M $1.50, Bulblets 2-.25. 
HI JINKS (Cassebeer ’53) 483 (E). A refined, rather soft-toned smoky, yet 
with plenty of color. Light red shading to mulberry toward the edges; a 
large clear white throat for effective contrast. Probably not enough open or 
a stretchy enough flowerhead to make it a good show glad, but a fine flower 
for the home garden and for unusual floral decorations. The florets are plain 
or only slightly waved, with about 6 open at once on graceful stems. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2-.25, 10-$1.00, 50-$4.00.
