many of the largest growers. We are 
going to see what Dr. Pease, amateur 
champion of the United States, can do 
with it: What do you think, after see¬ 
ing his mammoth Picardy etc.? Price. 
M., 50c; S., 35c; Bits., 10 for 50c. 
Blooms about 90 days. 
MIGNON— (Christ)—50 in. tall; 4 in. 
across; 12 open; very good habits. A 
very fine commercial variety for dec¬ 
orative work. A color unsurpassed for 
florists, being rich pure salmon pink; 
lower petals clear rich cream, unmark¬ 
ed. Placement as perfect as possible; 
spaced right and opening fine after 
shipping and holding. We expect to in¬ 
crease stock on this variety in antici¬ 
pation of increased demand as soon as 
shown in quantity. One of the country’*. 
most prominent growers is listing this 
year for the first time, having tested 
it thoroughly first. Stock scarce. Large 
only, 75c; Bits., 15 for 50c; 75 days. 
VIENNA WOODS—(Christ)—55 in.; 
6-inch bloom; opens 8; fine habits; 
wonderful dark blue color, no red; a 
fine novelty that will eventually dis¬ 
place Blue Admiral and will vie with 
Robert Burns for first place in the 
dark blue class. We are entirely out 
of this variety, as we sold short, and 
then bad luck lost our little remaining 
stock. We shall this year endeavor to 
regain stock of it. However, you may 
obtain it from most of the larger and 
better known retail bulb growers such 
as Mitsch, Long, Baerman and others. 
Blooms early, 70 days. 
ESPECIALLY RECOMMENDED VARIETIES 
LADY MARIE—(Zimmer)—50 in. tall; 
5-inch florets; opens 7 to 10; a variety 
of rich warm salmon color closely re¬ 
sembling Picardy. Is self color and a 
basket of it set beside one of Picardy 
can hardly be told different at 20 foot 
space. Shape is more round floret; 
placement about same, habits same, 
propagation better yet than Picardy, 
and best of all and chiefly the reason 
why this listing is made here probably 
for the first time since its origin, is 
the fact that this variety is nearly 
THREE WEEKS EARLIER than Pic¬ 
ardy. You must grow this variety to 
appreciate it and surely anyone can 
see the tremendous advantage this 
variety has over Picardy, as the first 
Picardy blooms always bring top prices 
on the market. We are now head¬ 
quarters for the variety and are auth- 
ciized to fill your orders direct from 
the oirginator’s stocks 1 saw this 
variety in bloom at Zimmer’s fields 
and have no hesitancy in stating that 
it will have a commercial value equal 
to, if not greatly superior to, that of 
Picardy. This is the first time it has 
been listed and as it propagates rapid¬ 
ly and there is plenty of stock avail¬ 
able, it is being priced very reasonable. 
First come first served, at 25c each 
for sizes one to four; 15c for sizes 
five and six; Bits., 100 for $1.00.
