„The Horticultural Trade Journal” of March 24th 1937 writes: 
„Holland demonstrated how well Freesias may be grown with a glorious 
banking of choice varieties ably staged by G. C. van Meeuwen and Sons, 
Heemstede. The flowers were enormous, in large trusses on very long 
stems. Amongst varieties we noted Caro Carlee, cream; George Washington, 
orange yellow flushed red at margins of petals; Yellow Bird, glowing orange 
yellow, and Robinetta, deep purplish red. These varieties may be con¬ 
fidently recommended for the cut flower trade.”
