it rm very grateful to you for the fine order of glad bulbs received from you last 
spring and the splendid lot of extras you included. I’ve enjoyed good results in spite 
of the dry season .” . —J. E. Battram, N. Y. 
Lady Winsome 
(R. M. Palmer) (Dec) (90-95) An exquisite new 
decorative variety of large size and very strong 
growth. Luminous rosy-salmon with small carmine throat marking. Buds are a 
lovely salmon-buff and open with rolled petals. Never streaks. Fine in every way 
except that in hot weather it may need staking as it has a large heavy flower head 
and grows very tall. Good propagator. Popular with garden visitors. 
f a lOftlA (Dusinberre) (Com) (Dec) (75-80) Large bright vivid 
Man r diUHia orange of heavy texture. A new and distinctive shade and 
one of the best orange varieties. 4-6 open. Second early. 
Laughing Water 
variety. A nice commercial. 
Lavender Bride 
(Fischer) (Com) Salmon pink. Long spike with 
6-8 or more open. It is said to be a fine forcing 
(Bride) (Dec) (70-80) Very large smoky lavender. 
Very well liked but stems inclined to be weak. 
¥ fiandfif (Errey) (Ex) Bright orange salmon with purplish magneta 
liCqUUCl blotch. Long spike with 8-10 or more open at once. Wonder¬ 
fully showy and “different.” Fades some in sun. Withdrawn to increase stock. 
Lindesta 
Palmer strain. See page 22. 
Littleiohfl (Stevens) (Dec) (Com) Deep rose pink with a soft feather 
mam HCJUHII 0 f roso i ane purple on lower petals. Six or more open. A 
good one in this color. About the best one of its color to use in place of E. J. Shaylor 
which most growers have discarded now. 
LoV<lltV (Austin) (Com) (Dec) Large clear deep yellow. Several open. 
IjUjqiij Very strong, husky plant. Some people consider this the best 
commercial yellow. I think it is as good as any. 
Lliciffif (Errey) (Ex) (Dec) Bright orange with amaranth crimson blotch. 
IjIIWUCI Long spike with nine or ten open at once. This is a very showy 
variety and I believe will become very popular. Stem is a little weak but for ex¬ 
hibition or the home garden it is a fine thing. One of Errey’s best. 
(Sal) (Dec) Large ivory white with creamy yellow 
throat. Very tall and makes a beautiful spike of 
Magna Blanca 
bloom but stems are inclined to be weak. 
Maid of Orleans 
(Pf) (Ex) (Com) (90-95) Beautiful milky 
white with cream throat. Very tall grower 
with eight or more perfectly placed flowers open at a time. Though this 
variety doesn’t make so large flowers as Mammoth White or some of the 
newer whites I consider it the best all around white for commercial purposes. 
I am not selling bulblets this year as I sincerely believe that when the 
growers get wise to this variety that the demand will be tremendous. A 
good propagator. 
Mammoth White 
5-6 or more immense flowers open, 
exhibition variety and becoming increasingly popular as a commercial for 
nearby use. Does not stand long distance shipping but for local use is one of 
the very best commercials. Very outstanding. 
(Pf) (Ex) (Dec) Immense pure white 
with sometimes just a hint of cream. 
Often over six inches across. Wonderful 
“The bulbs I received last fall and spring were fine. They produced wonderful 
spikes and the No. 7 Picardy bulbs all blossomed.” —L. E. Rousseau, Vt.
