HOME of RARE CLADS 
glads. This cream is self, not any 
darker than some whites, and a basket 
of it is a real masterpiece. Makes 
plenty bulblets and germinates about 
60 per cent, although does not make 
large bulbs from bulblets. Stock has 
been snapped up every year with the 
result that my stock is still scarce. 
L. , $1.00; M., 75c; S., 40c; Bits., 10 
for 50c; 75 days. 
ROBERT BURNS—(Christ)—60 in. 
tall; 5 in. across; opens 6to 10; good 
habits, except that does not propagate 
quite as fast as some varieties; even 
with this disadvantage, it has been, 
with us, a decided improvement over 
Blue Admiral in color and number 
open. However, there is no use my 
describing it further as we are forced 
to withhold all stock we have, which 
is very limited, for propagation pur¬ 
poses. DON’T ask for it. There are 
some growers who have it, including 
Mitsch, Gove, Long, Wentworth, and 
perhaps some others who may pos¬ 
sibly be able to spare you a little. 
Write them, but not us, regarding this 
variety. Blooms about same date as 
Admiral. 
SMILING MAESTRO—(Christ)—60 in. 
tall; 6-inch florets; opens 10 to 14; 
very fine habits, although does not 
make such large bulblets, but gives 
good germination. Blooms about BO 
days. Probably the most sought after 
of our originations to date, due to its 
being one of the first out, and as stock 
was scarce, growers are just now be¬ 
ginning to see its real qualities. Color 
is rich, warm salmony brown, coming 
with a blend all its own in real fall 
colors. Stock is still limited. L., 75c; 
M. , 50c; S., 25c.; Bits., 10 for 25c. 
ST. LAURENCE—(Christ)—65 m. 
tall; 7 in. across; opens 6 to 8; a 
wonderful strong grower with all 
around good habits; germinates fine; 
disease resistant; strong to all heat; 
occasionally one floret will misplace, 
otherwise always good placement. The 
color is all that can be desired in a 
scarlet variety. Immediately made a 
hit with most of the collectors and has 
done wonders on the Pacific coast. 
Color is soft, bright scarlet with beau* 
tifully blended throat of rich cardinal 
red blotch. As stock is very scarce, 
we are not any too anxious to dispose 
of this stock, but will &ell a limited 
amount this season. L., $2.50; M., $1.75; 
S., $1.00; Bits., 25c each. 
STAR PRINCE—(Christ)—50 in. tall; 
7 to 8 in. across and easily the lagst 
floret in gladdom; opens 7, placed 
right; good habits due to P. G. 
blood; color very attractive, being a 
soft lavender blended with cream; 
small spear of deeper mauve on lower 
petal. If you want real size, be sure 
to grow this one. L., 75c; M., 50c; 
S., 25c; Bits., 10 for 25c. 
SUN GOD—(Christ)—68 in. tall; 5 
in. across; opens 12; fine habits; very 
strong healthy grower, making oodles 
of bulblets that germinate fine. Color 
is a fine soft pink with a cream 
throat, blended nicely and promising 
to be a fine commercial. Stands heat, 
don’t crook and is excellent performer 
all around. Can make attractive prices 
in quantity on small sizes upon ap¬ 
plication. L., 20c; M., 12c; S., 4c; 
Bits., 25 for 10c; blooms 85 days. 
PENSACOLA—(Christ)—48 in. tall; 
5-inch florets; opens 7; extra fine hab¬ 
its making very clean, straight growth; 
fine bulbs and bulblets; very nice 
performer. Color is probably the most 
outstanding pure scarlet red out. All 
who have seen it call it the most 
beautiful red they know; entirely self. 
Not as dark as The Bounty, which is 
in a class by itself, but is more attrac¬ 
tive and richer than Koehl. Canadian 
customers have said it is far superior 
to the new Whero supposed to be the 
finest scarlet from Australia. We think 
it O. K. Stock is very scarce yet. L,, 
$5.00; M., $3.CO; S.. $1.00; Bits, 2 for 
50c; blooms in 80 days. 
THE WINTER KING—(Neeley)—50 
in. tall; 6 in. across; 8 to 10 open; 
good habits, except very slow to prop¬ 
agate; fine grower and bulbs weather 
like iron. This variety was a sensation 
at the Illinois Show the past summer 
and we have sold many orders of it 
from the performance it gave there.
