25 
LOUIS BOUMEISTER ( van Deursen, Holland) —A good addition to the weak purple class and 
it is especially valuable as a commercial because the spikes are tall. It does exception¬ 
ally well from small bulbs and propagates easily. L 2-12c, M 3-1 Oc, S 10-15c, Bits. 
50-1 Oc. 
LUCIFER (Errey) —This extremely popular variety, and justly so, is bright orange with an 
amaranth crimson shaded blotch making a striking color combination. Ten large flowers 
on a very tall spike give something outstanding for the exhibitors. M 3-1 Oc, S 10-1 5c, 
Bits. 50-1 Oc. 
MADELON (Lemoine, France) —A great advance over the old favorite M. M. Sully from the 
same originator. White with dark blotch, the spikes are tall and straight; about eight 
large flowers open on an eighteen bud spike. The white color is clear and the dark red 
blotch makes a most attractive color combination. Large only, 35c each. 
MAID OF ORLEANS (Pfitzer) —An outstanding white of the last few years. A fine show va¬ 
riety and generally admitted to be the coming commercial white. It has been a big win¬ 
ner in all the glad growing countries and surely deserves all the good things said of it. 
L 2-12c, M 3-10c, S 10-15c, Bits. 50-10c. 
MAIZE (Mair) —Another fine cream glad from the originator of the popular Queen Mary.

is deeper at the edges. Nice tall grower. L $2.00, Bits. 20c each.

blotch. Opens eight to ten perfectly formed large florets, of Pfitzer’s Triumph type, at

First class exhibition variety. L 25c, M 15c, Bits. 8-1 5c.

flowers on long spikes. L $2.00, M $1.25, S 75c, Bits. 20c each. 
MARGOT BRUNINCS (Pfitzer) —The large rosy pink blooms are well placed on the long 
spikes and with several open makes a good exhibition or commercial spike. Very nice 
color and good increaser. L $2.50, M $1.75, S 80c, Bits. 20c each. 
MARGARET PETER (Errey) —This white with a strong crimson blotch makes a fine exhibition 
spike and seems to be the best all-round variety of this color. It blooms well from small 
stock, a good increaser, and has all the qualities for a commercial variety as well as a fine 
exhibition glad. M 3-1 Oc, S 10-1 5c, Bits. 50-1 Oc. 
MARIE (Ma ir) —Blush pink with a few dark flecks at edges of some petals; lower lip has 
yellow throat. The formation of the florets is similar to those of Queen Mary. It will 
open ten of its twenty buds at once, is a good propagator, and very popular the past seas¬ 
on. L 2-12c, M 3-lOc, S 10-15c, Bits. 50-10c. 
MARTHA (Heemskerk) —Dark salmon with a carmine blotch; wide open blooms that lie well 
against the long spikes. Should be a good commercial. L 25c, M 15c, S lOc, Bits, 
8-1 5c. 
MARY ANSTEEN (E. H. Young, U. S.) —Rich begonia rose with a soft orange red throat mark¬ 
ing. Flowers are of medium size and although the stem is not too long the lovely color 
makes it a very desirable flower to have in every collector’s garden. L 20c, M 10c, S 
2-10c, Bits. 10-20C.

winner at Boston for several years. Fine commercial. L 2-12c, M 3-10c, S 10-15c, 
Bits. 50-1 Oc. 
MARY ROSE (Errey) —Blessed with a tall growing and exceptionally vigorous habit of growth, 
Mary Rose is very reliable in the production of long, nicely formed spikes. The flowers 
have a ground color of pink which is overlaid with a shade of lively rose in the center 
and towards the outer edges of the flower. This variety is becoming remarkably popular 
and is proving a great attraction wherever shown. L 15c, M 10c, S 2-12c, Bits. 10-15c.

white. Award of Merit at Haarlem. L $1.60, M $1.00, S 75c, Bits. 20c each.

many awards in New Zealand including shows at Normanby, Miramar, Wanganui and 
Canterbury. An outstanding variety that won at New York and received much favorable 
comment. L 20c, M 10c, S 2-1 Oc, Bits. 10-20c.
