V Sk0 (Sdlg. 30111) Color unusual iridescent garnet- 
▼ «»^«iuv*iu * 1 brown, lighter in*'upper throat, and with small 
blotch of glowing scarlet-red on lip petal. 8-10 well placed blooms out at once on 
strong, straight spike. 
To me this is one of the prettiest and most unusual varieties I have seen. I 
am very sure you will like it. It is a variety that stands out in any company. 
Prices of the above three varieties are $10.00 each for any size. $10.00 each 
or one bulb each of the three for $25.00. No bulblets this year. 
No discount to anyone on the above three varieties and no exchanges. 
I feel that these introductions of this year are among the very best Mr. 
Palmer has ever introduced. 
Two More Introductions 
chosen from a seedling collection of the past two years. Have had so many good 
reports on these that I am introducing them this year under the names that were 
originally given them. 
EVfinSOflP (Sdlg. H6033) Large ruffled smoky with creamy blotch. 
* cneuilgl Several open. A beautiful variety. Evensong was shown at 
the New York State Show at Geneva several years ago and created a sensation. 
Was considered by everyone as an improved Mother Machree. Have had many 
fine reports on this variety. 
(Sdlg. H6142) Light rosy pink with clear cream white 
blotch. This is about the color of Coryphee but never 
crooks. Medium size flowers. 6-8 or more open at a time. Should make a fine 
commercial and should be very popular with people who like Coryphee. Have 
also had many good reports on this one. 
The price of above two varieties is $.50 each for large bulbs or 10 for $4.00. 
Medium size $.25 each or 10 for $2.00. 
Palmer Seedling Collection 
Out of the thousands of seedlings that Mr. Palmer grows there are many 
very choice ones that can’t possibly be introduced. Wishing to introduce only three 
or four named varieties a year and not in wholesale quantities as some growers 
do it was a problem what to do with these choice seedlings. Sometimes it is dif¬ 
ficult to decide which ones to introduce under name and which not to. Many of 
these seedlings were so beautiful that it seemed a crime to destroy them and 
deprive the people of their beauty. So two years ago we selected out twenty-five 
of the best and introduced them as a collection labeling them only by number. 
Some of these seedlings had been named originally with the intention of intro¬ 
ducing them but as better ones came along we used some of these named ones in 
the collection but just gave them the seedling number. We have had many com¬ 
plimentary letters in regard to these seedlings. Many people considering some of 
these seedlings as even better than those we have put out under name. Two of 
these have been selected out this year and are being introduced under the names 
that were originally given them. 
I no longer sell the collection as a collection but am listing certain numbers 
as follows. The other numbers that are not listed here cannot be obtained. The 
price of these is the same as for the past two years. Large bulbs, $.20 each or 10 
for $1.50. Medium size, $.10 or 10 for $.80. 
BC25084. Tall orange. Some consider it the best orange on the market. 
26121. Large salmon P. G. with cream throat. Very beautiful. 
26895. Immense smoky. Everyone likes this. 
26892. Tall straight salmon rose. Several open. 
H6141. Large early light pink with cream throat. Fine cut flower. 
27657. Light buff pink. A man in California said that in his hot locality 
that this did better than Picardy. Have been working up a stock for myself for 
cut flowers.
