GOLDEN GODDESS (Salbach 
1934) 
KING OF HEARTS (Salbach ’39) 
Another mammoth which with Cali¬ 
fornia and Grand Opera has been grown 
with florets exceeding 8 inches in di¬ 
ameter. Light coral red with carmine 
line in throat, opening 6 to 7 of its 16 
florets at one time, but its 16 florets are 
so large that its flower head is usually 
2 V 2 feet long. Very vigorous grower 
with perfect placement and facing and 
heavy substance. 
SIR GALAHAD (Salbach 1939) 
Rich creamy white, enhanced by dia¬ 
mond shaped blotch of rich crimson in 
deep cream colored throat. Florets wide 
open—very large and give appearance 
of being larger, due to the fact that 
they are so wide open. Six of the 18 
florets open at once, with a long flower- 
head. Substance excellent and habits 
ideal. 
Prices of California, Grand Opera, 
Helen of Troy, June Bride, King of 
Hearts, and Sir Galahad: 
Large bulbs $2.50 each. 
Medium bulbs $1.50 each.
