Marion Hartung's Carnival Glass Column, Mid-America Reporter, March 1972
UPDATE
We now know that Leaf Rays was made by Dugan-Diamond and in the colours known, we can now add peach opal, lime and blue.
Daisies and Drape is now called Daisy and Drape, and we can now add that they were in fact made in blue and in ice green.
For Imperial's Tiger Lily, we now know it was made (in Classic Carnival) in many different colours (some 12 are reported). Imperial's re-issues of Tiger Lily include a range of Contemporary Carnival Glass colours. L. E. Smith has also issued the pattern in Contemporary Carnival.
We also know now that there is a Tiger Lily Variant, made by an entirely different company - Riihimaki in Finland - in blue, amber and marigold.
