AIDA (Pf) Deep violet blue, red throat, very early . G G E 4 M 6 
This fine Glad is still among the best of its color. Not as blue as Pelegrina but a splendid 
flower. Bulblets hard to germinate. L. 10 for 40c; M. 10 for 20c; S. 10 for 12c; Bits. 100 
for 20c. 
ALEC (Dg) Strong growing, medium violet, red blotch . G G LM 4 T 6 
A very vigorous grower. Hard to germinate bulblets. L. each, 60c; M. 35c; S. 25c; Bits. 
10 for 50c.

15c; Bits. 100 for 20c.

AVE MARIA (Pf) Medium violet blue, red feather . G G EM 4% M 7 
One of the most satisfactory of the blues. Good under nearly all conditions and a valuable 
parent. L. 10 for 40c; M. 10 for 20c; S. 10 for 12c; Bits. 100 for 15c. 
BADENIA (Freitsch) Purest light violet, deep feather . F G M 5 S 7 
A beautiful shade but not as blue as some of the later varieties. A poor grower and often ; 
has poor facing. Makes very poor bulbs and propagates very slowly. L. 35c each. 
BELLA DONNA (Pf.) Medium violet, darker feather . F G M 4^4 M 5 
Not as vigorous in growth as some. Personally, I prefer many of the older blues. L. $1.00 
each; M. 60c; S. 30c; Bits. 10 for $1.50. 
BLUE ADMIRAL (Christ) Deep violet blue, violet plume . E G EM 5 T 6 
This is perhaps the most promising all purpose variety of the darker “blues” and a worth¬ 
while addition to this class. Very fine when at its best. L. $2.50 each; M. $1.25 each; S. 
70c each; Bits. 10 for 80c. 
BLUE DANUBE (Pf) Light violet, darker feather . G G M 5 T 6 
With Ave Maria, one of the best “blues.” Lighter and usually more attractive in color 
than Ave Maria. Grows very tall and is apt to fall over. L. 10 for $1.00; M. 10 for 60c; 
S. 10 for 35c; Bits. 100 for 35c. 
BLUE DELIGHT (Dg) Deep violet, deeper throat . G G LM 4 S 7 
One of the richest in coloring and beautiful at its best but quite a temperamental grower. 
Hard to germinate the bulblets. Gives good colors in seedlings. L. $1.00 each; M. 60c each; 
S. 30c each; Bits. 10 for 80c. 
BLUE HAROLD (Pf.) Medium deep violet, inconspicuous fhr. F G E 5 M 5 
Not as attractive in color as some of the later blooming blues but good as an early flower 
and somewhat larger than most early ones. L. $1.00 each; M. 60c each; S. 30c each; Bits. 
10 for 80c. 
BLUE MOON (Blake) Medium violet, small purple plume . G G E 5 M 6 
Although not as blue as some, it is one of the most easily grown of the blues. Rapid propa¬ 
gator. L. 10 for 80c; M. 10 for 40c; S. 10 for 20c; Bits. 100 for 15c. 
BLUE PEACOCK (Sal) Medium violet, red and white throat .... G G EM 5 M 6 
Among the most attractive and satisfactory of the “blues” and about as near true blue as any 
except Pelegrina. Very good. Stock small. L. 80c each; M. 50c each; S. 35c each; Bits. 
10 for 75c. 
BLUE ROYALE (V) Violet blue with lighter throat . G G LM 4 T 6 
Probably as blue as the above and while not very large, the color is very attractive and the 
spikes are good. L. 50c each, 10 for $4.00; M. 30c each, 10 for $2.40; S. 20c each, 10 for 
$1.60; Bits. 100 for 35c. 
BLUE TRIUMPHATOR (P) Very light violet, deeper feather .... G G EM 6*4 M 6 
The largest of this class with wonderfully formed wide open round flowers. Some positively 
do not care for this and others like it very much. I am of the latter class. A little slow to 
propagate and a poor pollen and seed producer at best. L. 15c each; M. 10c each; Bits. 10 
for 10c.
