OSTRICH FEATHERS (Pfitzer 50) 85 days 240 
We grow Ostrich Feathers chiefly for the odd shape of its florets. 
Deeply lacinated florets, ruffled nicely, coming to a sharp point, 
somewhat triangular in form. The color is a fine light peach. Holds 
five to six open on tall straight spikes. If you are working for odd 
shapes in hybridizing, here is one to start with.

PACTOLUS (K&M 47) 80 days 417 
A buff, but one gets the impression of its being yellow. A startling 
scarlet blotch “hits you in the eye” and you can’t help but see it. 
Quite startling alone in a basket or vase. Holds six open on medium 
to tall spikes. Good propagator, healthy and well liked for show and 
commercially.

PALETTE (Kooy 51) 85 days 437 
A bright scarlet, lightly frilled and ruffled, with a rather large 
throat mark, about the shade of a wet indelible pencil mark. Rather 
an odd color combination. Will hold six or more open on medium to 
tall spikes. Healthy and a good propagator.

PALOMAR | (Beaton 54) 80 days 442 
One of the nicer deeper pinks, somewhat deeper in color than 
Friendship, Jessie Mae, Sweet Sixteen and Edith Warr. Just about 
one shade lighter than Spic and Span. Has a big creamy white, un- 
marked center, in contrast to the throat feather in Spic and Span. 
With 5” florets, 20 buds, 26” Flowerhead, 8 to 10 open, tall spikes, 
good facing, attachment and placement, it looks like an extra good 
commercial, to say nothing of the show prospects. Worthy of trial. 
Price—L $1.50—10/$12.00; M $1.00—10/$8.00; 
S 50c—10/$4.00; B 10/$1.50 
PARTHENIA (Hitchcock 49) 80 days 568 
Another of the deep lavender glads that produces extra nice spikes 
—lots of florets open, well balanced, nicely proportioned spikes. Color 
is deep lavender, deepening in the throat,—might be better but still 
quite useable. Good propagator. Well liked commercially. 
Price—L 2/25c—10/$1.00; M 2/15c—10/70c; 
S 5/25c—10/40c; B Pkge. 25c 
PASTEL (Both 42) 90 days 486 
Quite a demand for this variety from arrangers, the people who 
appreciate its subtle color. A perfect pastel blend of smoky rose and 
velvet gray, with the petals edged with steel blue. Holds six open on 
medium tall straight spikes. Quite attractive made up in a vase or 
basket. 
Price—L 2/25c—10/$1.00
