ORCHID is one of Kunderd's creations. I bought the entire stock of him when he first originated it. and own every bulb of it. It 

 resembles the Chicago While in color, but is a far better white, and in every way superior to that Lopular variety; has a larger flower, is 

 more vigorous in growth, and a far better bulblet maker. It is mot more than five days later. It will supplant Chicago White wherever it is tried.
