HIGHLAND CHIEF (Mair) One of Mair's choicest in this color. A 
deep lilac-lavender with deeper markings in throat. Florets ore nicely 
fluted and waved. Will open up 10 well rounded blooms well over six 
inches in diameter. The spike and stem are of wiry nature and with

fine exhibition variety and should top the varieties in the lavender

tion is excellent from bulblets and planting size. You will not go 
wrong with this one if you take care of it. This variety was sold from 
Australia under the name of Champion before Mair and Sons had 
introduced it for sale, enabling a few American growers to get well 
acclimated stock started here at time of introduction this year by Geo.
