LIGHT ROSE

values. IIl., and Grand Champion, E. 
Bay,’40. L .40 M .25 S .15 Blts(100, 1.50) 
COUTTS’ ORCHID (Coutts) 84 **—ttt 
Exh. Com. Immense, round petalled florets 
of smooth, unmarked light orchid rose with 
cream throat. Hasa tendency to produce a 
quarter inch lighter edging, or halo. Very 
healthy grower. Stands up straight. Sub- 
stance excellent. Good cut flower traits 
except that it is only a medium propa- 
gator. In Canada have seen spikes with 
8 open and 10 more buds all in color. We 
doubt much if this glad has any faults and 
the color is beyond reproach. Stock limited. 
See illustration. Bulbs any size, L, M 
or S, $1.00 each. No Blts for sale. 
DR. DENTZ (Clingendaal) 80 ***—ft{ Exh. 
Com. Giant round, wide open florets.

rose. Has secured all the awards which 
can be obtained from the Dutch society, 
including F.C.C. and hasan A. M. fromthe 
B. G. S. We break the ice for it in U. S.

**__ttt Exh. 
Perfectly clear, rosy pink, with white line 
through center of each petal, except that 
lip petal is clean white, surrounded by a 
thin edge of the rosy pink. 514-6 inch 
florets, 8 open (we have had 12). Lots of 
bud color. Attachment of floret to stem 
is somewhat at fault. If you are looking 
for a genuine beauty, here it is.

Slightly ruffled, unique shaped florets, 
beautiful, medium depth of rose pink 
with a harmonizing cream blotch. Extra 
tall spike, simply towers over most of the 
noted tall ones in commerce. Often over 
6 ft. P.G. style of spike from field grown 
young bulbs but Exh. spikes when well 
grown from L bulbs. Eight 6 inch florets 
open are quite an easy matter with this 
one. 22 buds. Fairly good propagator.
