Beautiful Ohio ** 1//2 (Hullibarger) (Com) (HG) Beautiful 
new shade of rose lavender. Flowers only 
medium size and plant medium height but a fine color and useful to the local 
florist. 
Bella Donna *** 
well liked by the florists. 
(Pf) (Com) (HG) Early, large light blue with 
darker blotch. 6-8 open. Fine grower and very 
Betsy Bob-Up 
Bd^flCCC ★★★ (Gray) (Com) (HG) Very early. Deep golden yellow 
sometimes flaked orange around the edge. 5 beautifully 
ruffled medium large flowers open at a time on a medium height plant. Fine 
propagator. Very early variety that should be very popular both for the home 
garden and for the florist. Makes up beautifully in floral work. 
“And then there was BERNECE. Think this is about the best yellow to date. 
Not quite so deep color as Jonquil but larger and stronger grower .” 
—E. J. Gundlach, Indiana. 
★ ★★V 2 (Canine) (Ex) (Com) (100) A color 
sport of Betty Nuthall with all the good 
qualities of that variety. Color is creamy yellow tinged with pink. This was real 
good with me this past season and I like it though the color may not be decided 
enough for some people. 
Hllftinliripc ★★ (Morn) (HG) Color quite similar to 
OCHj nmilylli lvJ Betty Nuthall and said to be a glori¬ 
fied Betty. Have not seen a bloom of it myself. 
Rettv Nuthall (Sal) (Ex) (Com) (100) Warm coral 
pink with pale yellow throat markings and 
a tinge of orange. General effect is salmon color. 6-8 good size blooms open. Very 
tall, strong, straight grower. Very vigorous, good propagator. This has been one 
of the most popular commercial varieties on the market and it is still good but 
florists will always prefer Picardy if they can get it. However if you want a variety 
for the home garden and can use a late variety by all means try Betty Nuthall. 
(Fallu) (Com) (HG) Immense massive 
ruffled deep blood red usually flaked darker. 
5-6 open. A beautiful variety either for the home garden or for local florist use. 
Doesn’t grow tall enough for the big markets but a variety that is very valuable 
in floral work. Same color class as Rewi Fallu. 
★ (Crow) (Ex) (Com) Flaming orange 
with yellow throat. Tall straight vigorous 
plant with 9-12 medium size blooms open on a long spike. Not quite so large as 
we would like but because of its fine color and long flower head I think will be a 
very popular orange for some years to come.

“ Want to have more of your bulbs and every one is asking where I get them for they 
have never seen such wonderful blooms as / had. RAPTURE and VAGABOND 
PRINCE were especially fine though WASAGA and DUNA had the most beautiful 
coloring .” — Mrs. E. A. Green, Penn.
