fiom the late Prof. Crow of Sirncoe, Ontario, about 1929. I have been growing it since that tiiie, agreeing with 
each season that it is much too attractive not to be introduced. In common with Cadence and Chansonette 
Ophir Gold needs to be grown from a large bulb to show its true beauty. It has been interesting to note that this 
fault has been overcome m a number of Cadence seedlings (34E9 and 34E95), which give vl-y representative 
bloom from quite small bulbs. Medium propagator. Large bulbs, $.50 10 bulblets $50 Y 1
