OUR 1955 INTRODUCTIONS 
Although most of our introductions in the past have been 
in the smaller sizes, we feel that the four larger varieties 
being introduced this year will all prove outstanding addi- 
tions to their color classes. Every one, we are sure, is of 
championship caliber and will prove itself so both in the 
showroom and in your garden. 
SCARLET MANTLE (436) (Algonquin Iraq) —A 
large, spectacular glowing scarlet with bright yellow 
throat. It is hard to imagine anything flashier than its bril- 
liant, clean colors. A bigger, brighter, healthier Beacon. 
Bulblets not too plentiful. Stretchy, well-balanced spike of 
17-20 buds, opening 5-8. $2.50 for any size bulb 
MOONLIGHT (406) (Angel of Mercy Ivy Robert- 
son) —A distinctive and beautiful, slightly ruffled soft 
chartreuse with maroon throat spears. Far exceeds its 
mother, my Angel of Mercy, which has become the lead- 
ing 300-size cream winner, opening many blooms on an 
extremely tall 24-bud spike. The color is unique. It will cut 
nearly 100% and performance the best, with good propa- 
gation. The florists will want this one — and badly. 
$2.50 for any size bulb 
HEART OF FLAME (301) (Rosy Elf Margaret Bea- 
ton) — Would be hard to tell from Margaret Beaton, its 
father, except for the floret size. Another very tall, stretchy 
one with 20 buds and 5-7 open. Formation, balance, health 
and propagation all extra good. 
(From Frederick Smith) 
BROWN BURMA (590) (Burma Sport) — This giant- 
flowered variety is a rich, clear brown, with a clean tan 
throat. We thought of calling it Truly Brown, the color is 
so clean. Has the habits of its mother, with slightly less 
ruffling and one less bud per spike. Excellent in every way 
that Burma is. $2.50 for any size bulb 
COMMERCIAL GROWERS: Planting stock is limited 
on these, but we will be glad to quote prices on small quan- 
tities if you are interested.

INBREDS AND INBRED HYBRIDS 
DRIVEN SNOW (Queen of Bremen inbred) (200)

champion three times at 1953 and 1954 Central Interna- 
tional Show and winnner of special educational award at 
Western Massachusetts 1953 show. Opens 6-8. The first 
inbred advertised.

LITTLE DARLING (Queen of Bremen inbred) (266)
