TIP TOP 92 ***— ftt Exh. Warm red to 
scarlet. As tall as Aflame, florets as large, 
but of the wide-open, flat type, 6-8 open 
on long, strong spikes. A.M., Haarlem, 
New Pfitzer variety we said was “going 
places.” We assisted our own predic¬ 
tion, “breaking the ice” in America by 
entering 3 spikes at Ohio, ’35. Our 1st 
beat over twenty other well grown entries 
including many of the other reds here 
listed. Grants Pass and East Bay, ’36.

let red, with darker flecks at outer edges. 
Immense spikes with 8-12 wide open 
florets, sometimes deserving three stars 
for size. Excellent substance. Good prop¬ 
agator. Champion seedling at Normandy 
and Wanganui, N. Z., ’33. 1st, Aukland

Bits (100,.20) 
MOORISH KING **—JJ Exh. Impressive, 
long spike, carrying immense, glossy, 
mahogany maroon florets. Lighter than 
Marocco but completely eclipsing it in 
size. Scarce because slow propagator. 
Bits germinate very unsatisfactorily. 
A.M., Haarlem and B.G.S. Two lsts 
A.G.S., ’34. (Am.) N.E.G.S. and our 1st 
Ohio, ’35. L-.20 M.15 
OEGANDA 98 —f Dec. Black red, almost a 
solid black color with silky gloss, without 
markings or blotches. We have bloomed 
this from L bulbs two years and it is cer¬ 
tainly the blackest glad we have yet seen. 
Florets run 3-4 inches dia., 4-6 open, 10-13 
bud, 3-33^2 ft- tall, on strong, slender stems. 
Supply very limited. A.M., R. Hort. S., 
F.C.C., Haarlem, ’35. Ea. L4.00 S1.50 
REWI FALLU 98 ***—fft Exh. A deep, 
blood red of very large size, opening 8-10 
florets in the field on vigorous plants 5}/2 
to 6 ft. tall. Blooms from bits, frequently. 
Bloom from the first bulb was champion 
seedling at So. Australia G.S., ’32. Now 
named and some stocks released in U. S. 
We do not hesitate to render opinion that 
this variety wiN be sensationally publicized 
by all who see it. Good propagator. Al¬ 
though no discounts from these prices, we 
feel that all stocks produced in U. S. will 
be absorbed, mainly by catalogers, as fast 
as such stocks are released. Ea. L10.00

spaced, making immense flowerheads. 
Good blooms from the smaller sizes. 1st

DOROTHY DOW 102 **—fftt Exh. Color 
is a smooth mixture of old rose and deep 
orange with a gray overtone. Florets 
about size and shape as Picardy, stem 
shorter but several more open with long 
flowerheads. Good propagator. With a 
color which we believe is a great improve¬ 
ment on Emile Aubrun, with larger florets 
and much longer flowerheads, we accord¬ 
ingly drop Emile Aubrun from our list.
