DEEP ROSE 
HARMAU (Both) 78 **++tt Exh. Com. 
Orange shaded rose doree with scarlet 
blotch (Ridgeway). We would call it a 
very beautiful pastel shade of clear, 
deep orange pink with soft scarlet blotch. 
Tall, wiry stem. Large florets, slightly 
hooded about as Picardy and Peggy Lou. 
Tremendous propagator, blooms more 
freely from bulblets than any variety we 
grow and we predict a wonderful com- 
mercial future for this glad and a number 
of expert growers overseas consider Har- 
mau the best Australian release to date. 
Six firsts, champion vase and _ show 
champion Prim Grand (Picardy runner-up) 
S.A.G.S., 38. The unusual color, massive 
spike, powerful growth from small bulbs 
and bulblets probably mark Harmau as 
our best introduction since Peggy Lou. 
Color is very difficult to classify for show 
competition. Our 1st both 3 spike and

“Tt’s about Harmau. You sent me a small corm (I ordered 
a cormel). Planted July Ist in heavy soil. Had to neglect 
plot account war work. Large majority of my bulbs failed 
to arrive to bloom but this precocious variety delivered such 
an exh. spike I got out your Catalog and read your notes on 
Harmau while I had the spike in my hand—and its perfor- 
mance supported your claims for it 100%. Dug 4 days ago 
it produced 27 com’! size cormels and a great mass of smaller 
ones. Otherwise only the prims produced sizeable cormels 
this yr.’’ 11-15-40 S. E., Notre Dame de Grace, Mon- 
treal, Ont. 
LEONA 90 *—ttt Exh. Clean, rich rose red, 
slightly ruffled. For us the best performer 
among Mr. Pruitt’s’38 releases. Our spikes 
were admired by all who saw them. The 
color is much darker than other varieties 
here listed, not far removed from dark red 
in depth of color. Our 1st best red recent 
introduction, Ind. and a first at Sioux

Sec. champ at Susquehanna G.S., ’40. The 
good facing and placing, height and vigor 
as shown by two more years of growing 
have confirmed our opinion that this is a 
good commercial variety, as well. L .10

“Your extras showed that you were not merely trying 
to pawn off surplus stock of varieties ready for discard.
