CREAM 
JERSEY CREAM (Evans) 78 *—tt Dec. 
Aptly named. Smooth, rich, deep cream. 
The only deep cream with perfect cut 
flower habits. Florets average 5 inches, 8 
or more open, 16-18 bud, 50 inches tall. 
Good propagator and makes exceptionally 
fine blooms from M and S bulbs. Sub- 
stance excellent. Cut flower blooms well to 
the tip. These traits, coupled with the un- 
usual color value and beautifully decora- 
tive form make the florists’ dream of a 
clear, deep cream, usable in all stages of 
bulb growth, come true. In several years 
of growing we have been unable to discov- 
er any faults to mar this wonderful record. 
Fine reports from far and wide. Wisc. 37,

“Your Jersey Cream held up under withering heat last year 
and all others from your stock did excellently again. Have 
bought stock from nearly all glad raising districts but I honest- 
ly consider ‘your stock superior in health and vitality to any 
I have received. You must have all the range of ‘“‘vitamins’’ 
in your soil or somethin’ as they say.’”? 2-6-40. Prof. E.

ground and tn Havre de Grace, where several of our mem- 
bers*grew it. It looks to me to be ahout the best of the cream 
decorative varieties.’ 10-7-'37. H.V. W., Edgewood, Md,
