Major Edward Bowes 
(‘936) 
The Major Edward 
Bowes variety is one that 
you can enjoy fully, as it is 
of vigorous growth, healthy 
and a massive plant. The 
flowers are large, a bitter¬ 
sweet pink with an overlay 
of a slightly deeper tone; 
the small pinard yellow 
throat adds much to the at¬ 
tractiveness and beauty of 
this variety. The “Major"’ 
claims it is “overwhelm¬ 
ingly” beautiful. The spikes 
are very tall and strong, 
built to carry well the many 
dowers that open at one 
time, up to 12. This is an 
excellent cut dower variety 
with perfect keeping ciuali- 
ties and always in demand. 
A heavy propagator. 
“Sensational” is always 
included in the many un¬ 
solicited testimonials we re¬ 
ceive on the “Major ”. 
Many claim five foot 
spikes, large fiowers with 
eight or more open, from 
small l)ul1)s. The “Major” 
displayed at the Empire 
state show at Rochester, N. 
Y., 1937, in two eight foot 
baskets on either side of 
the stage, showed well its 
great size and beauty and 
gave an excellent demon- 
stration of its exceptional 
keeping quality, lasting thru 
the entire show. On the 
bench the “Major” was 
given a blue ribbon in its 
crowded class. This is one 
of the very finest cut dower 
varieties. You will profit 
with it. Get your start this 
year.
