Favorites of 1955 
Here are the eight lists of varieties representing each person’s favorites as they saw them 
last year. The first lists are the favorites among the recent introductions while the second lists are 
the favorites among the standard low priced varieties. Mrs. Arenius and Helen (Mrs. Art Jr.) 
both have seen all the varieties in our field as well as at many shows so are well qualified to 
comment. They have the added advantage of liking a glad because to them it is the most 
beautiful without the influence of statistics such as size, number open, number of buds, height, 
etc.
