Exquisite apple blossom pink with 
creamy white throat. Tall, always 
straight, 8-10 good sized flowers open. 
Excellent color for Decorative use. One 
of the very best Canadian originations.

tenure on leading position in color class,

marie Pfitzer. A.G.S., N.E.G.S. and

REVERIE 90 *—ttt Exh. Pale shrimp 
shading smoothly to cream throat. Very 
high color value with instant appeal. 
Makes a vigorous, healthy plant, with 
tall, strong, straight, regular spikes. 6-8 
well open, lightly frilled florets. Total 
about 20 buds. Good propagator. We 
believe this to be the best Palmer intro¬ 
duction in recent years. Eight buds, 4 
open from bits not uncommon. A.M.,

R08EMARIE PFITZER 85**—IftJ Exh. 
Very light pink with faint flecks of creamy 
hue. Slightly ruffled. Round, “inverted” 
type florets (single lip, top petal back). 
Pfitzer’s claim that it makes the best spike 
of all his introductions appears more than 
justified, for it is of exquisite beauty, very 
delicate in appearance yet of excellent 
substance and texture. Illustration shows 
the sort of spike you may expect from S 
bulbs. A.M., Haarlem and Amsterdam.
