Ss eedlings por Tial 
In 1940 we offered seedlings under number for 
trial, so as to determine their preformance away 
from home. As a result of this we received valuable 
information and so are offering some again for 
trial. Some of these will likely be introduced. The 
prices at which these seedlings are offered is no in- 
dication of their value. Last year we offered Number 
3429RR for trial at 25c per bulb. It is being intro- 
duced this year as RIO RITA at $3.00 per bulb. 
With few exceptions, the stock of one-inch up, 
bulbs of these seedlings is limited. Orders are ac- 
cepted subject to stock being available. 
We hope you will be good enough to send report 
after blooming. 
3559-H PICARDY X RED SEEDLING 
Brilliant ruffled red; one carmine stripe on lower 
petal, makes tall straight spike. Late bloomer. Has 
been good here. Bulbs 1-inch and up 2 for 50e. 
34-LO 
Late blooming orange Picardy seedling. VOTE 
OF COMMENDATION Maryland Trial Grounds 1940. 
Bulbs 1-inch up 2 for 50c 
3559-G PICARDY X AFLAME X PINK SEEDLING 
Tall plant, straight spike. Large wavy bloom of 
light creamy pink with light red feather over creamy 
buff throat. This will likely be named and intro- 
duced next year. A. M. Minn. 1938. Bulbs 1-inch up 
50e each. 
33-1 PICARDY X BILL SOWDEN 
Beautiful deep shrimp pink, ruffled, non flecking 
bloom of heavy substance and smooth texture. Would 
classify as large decorative. Nicely balanced spike 
opening 6 to 7 -- 4%,-inch florets. This is a fancier’s 
flower and must be given good culture to bring out 
it’s beauty. A basket of this is really something. 
Florists who have seen it pronounce it an outstand- 
ing color. We have a good stock of this, thus can 
quote a low price. Large bulbs 15c each; 10 for $1.00; 
25 for $2.00 
3559-C PICARDY X REVERIE 
We included a few bulbs of this last year with 
orders and received thrilling reports. Reported on 
very favorably by Legion Trial Grounds. Would 
like to get a test of this over larger area. Colorisa 
very light creamy pink self. Looks extra good in 
makeup work. This will likely be introduced later. 
Bulbs 1-inch up 25c each. 
ROSY MORN—PICARDY X PHITZER’S TRIUMPH 
We’ve occasionally had a specimen spike of this 
with 8 florets open but 5 to 6 on fairly tall spike is 
average. The 5-inch florets are very deep rose pink 
to light rose red with broken throat mark. Rosy 
Morn has been responsible for some fine seedlings, 
in fact one was Champion seedling Minn. State Fair 
1940. Bulbs 1-inch up 2 for 50c. 
33493 PICARDY xX BETTY NUTHALL 
We had this seedling under observation a number 
of years, propragating it only in a limited way. 
Under dry field culture we had trouble with this 
having poor placement. Last year we grew several 
dozen under irrigation and used fertilizer and we 
were astounded by its beauty. Spikes were tall and 
perfect opening as many as eight in the garden. 
Color is deep creamy yellow to primrose with a touch 
of pink. Heavily ruffled, heavy substance, good 
texture. Late bloomer. Large bulbs 2 for 50c. 
3546-B PICARDY X TALISMAN 
This medium decorative makes a nice straight 
medium spike, opening around 5 well placed medium 
sized flowers of pure creamy apricot color with two 
small vermillion blotches deep in throat, which light 
up the flower. I consider this a nice flower for 
decorative purposes. Bulbs 1-inch up 4 for 50c.
