ing many buds and flowers. The color is a most desirable rose red. As high as ten

florets are beautifully shaped, ruffled and well placed. The spike is tall and straight

Minuet, but pinker, and retains its color under artificial light.

soft carmine tongue and throat markings. The tall, straight spike carries many 
buds and open flowers.

are sturdy and of medium height, and the substance is excellent. 
SHIRLEY TEMPLE (Pruitt) An immense new heavily ruffled cream with deeper throat 
color. This variety was the wonder of the West coast last season and again this 
summer. A sturdy grower making spikes five and six feet tall with six immense 
flowers open at once. It is a good propagator of bulblets and the bulblets germinate 
well. Shirley Temple is truly a sensational variety.
