Pink Dots *—— ())_ (@ days) (Orig- 
inator and _ parentage 
unknown) We got this curious novelty from our 
friend, Chuck Ruble, who has lost track of its origin. 
Seen in an arrangment, Pink Dots is very intriguing 
in its polka dot effect and invariably stops show visi- 
tors in their tracks. A single spike is less impressive.

Polynesia e e edays) Polynesia is back 
on our list this year after a year’s leave. We have 
never cared much for this light salmon, but it grows 
well, builds a tall, massive spike, and it tops its color 
class, with a respectable score, in the N.A.G.C. Sym- 
posium. Order some bulbs and be your own judge.

Queen x Miss Wisconsin) Princess may be described 
briefly by saying that it is a darker Elizabeth the 
Queen. It seems to have inherited a large part of its 
color factor from Miss Wisconsin, a one-time leader in 
its class. In but two years time this bright rosy lav- 
ender has skyrocketed to the leading exhibition lav- 
ender, being a consistent winner at the shows. It 
seems to be headed for a commercial future, too.
