REWI FALLU 98 ***~^^ Exh. A deep, 
blood red of very large size, opening 8-10 
florets in the field on vigorous plants 53^ 
to 6 ft. tall. Blooms from bits, frequently. 
Bloom from the first bulb was champion 
seedling at So. Australia G.S., ’32. We 
do not hesitate to render opinion that this 
variety will be sensationally publicized 
by all who see it. Good propagator. 
The above is what we said a year ago but 
things have happened since that. It has 
j umped to the top of the C.G.S. symposium, 
even ahead of the redoubtable Picardy and, 
of course, tops its color section there. We 
are not prepared to admit that this is the 
world’s greatest variety. Time will bring 
some of the newer ones to the front. But 
right now you must obtain some stock 
of this. Cedar Rapids and Yakima, ’38.

DOROTHY DOW 102 **— tttt 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. Prices 
now within reach. The bulbs present a 
very unusual range of color from yellow 
to strong red or red mottled or striped along 
husk cleavage line with yellow. We have 
had several inquiries wondering if this color 
variation had anything to do with thrips 
feeding areas, so we wish to explain. Sioux
