either. It produces bulblets in profusion and germinates as 
well. The color is medium to rich geranium pink shad'ng and 
blending into rich salmon with medium sized blotch on lower 
petal of white. This blotch is nearly covered with a suffusion 
of soft red lines giving the effect of a rose blotch on white. 
Colors are well balanced into the throat with reverses also 
the same color. The floret is lightly but distinctly and un¬ 
iformly ruffled and the three lower petals are distinctive with 
large raised mid ribs, extending to the tips of the petals to 
give the impression of a needle tipped floret. Blooms are wide 
open with top floret well expanded to make an ideal ex¬ 
hibition floret. Placement nearly perfect, perhaps florets lap 
over one another just a trifle too much—not enough however 
to spoil the effect of a continuous ribbon of bloom. VERY 
HEAVY SUBSTANCE. Medium season. This variety will be¬ 
come popular because of its unusual lasting qualities- Very 
fine shipper as florets lie close to the stern. This characterist c 
is also present in Chief Red Bird, allowing tight shipping. 
Makes a fine plant with rlean bulbs. The name seeims to fit 
exactly, due to unusual stamina and vigor of the variety.
