MY OWN INTRODUCTIONS 
Altho we have grown hundreds of thousands of seedlings since 1922, 
I have to date introduced only two. However, we have several more 
coming along, which, if they will stand the test of a few years, will be 
introduced at a popular price. 
MARGUERITE 1939 (Picardy x Wurtembergia) A clear, deep 
watermelon pink, with cream throat, it has never been known to fleck 
or crook. Very long flower head, with excellent keeping qualities. Opens 
four to six florets at a time, six inches or more across. Strong, healthy 
grower. Makes lots of bulblets which germinate only fair, especially 
from large bulbs. Makes large bulbs from bulblets. 
Has won blue ribbons at last four Washington State shows, also two 
blue ribbons at 1940 Pacific Northwest show. Was exhibited in 1939 
and 1940 in Hall of Flowers, at San Francisco Fair, where it was one of 
the most popular varieties with the public. (Large $1.00 each, 10 for 
$9.00; medium 75c each, 10 for $6.75; small 50c each, 10 for $4.50. Bulb- 
lets. 2 for'.25c, 10 for’$1.00!) | 
ANNAMAE (Seedling of Maid of Orleans) Introduced in 1940 as 
Annamae Schoonover. A pure snow-white, with tiny wine-red spot at 
base of petals. Blooms about ten days earlier than Maid of Orleans. 
Five inch florets with five to six open. A fine early cut-flower, blooming 
at a time when the price is still good. Altho this is introduced as a com- 
mercial variety—at the 1939 Washington State show it took five judges 
to decide between Annamae and our Seedling No. 332 as to which was 
the best large decorative spike in the show. At this same show the gen- 
eral public voted this their favorite white variety in the show. All 
commercial growers who have seen it growing in the field consider it 
better than Polar Ice. It is a heavy propagator. (Large 10 for $2.00, 
100 for $15.00; medium 10 for $1.50, 100 for $10.00; small 10 for $1.00, 
100 for $7.50. Bulblets 10 for $.25, 100 for $1.00.) 
Marguerite from small 
bulbs. The appearance of 
a white glad in this pic- 
ture, is due to the fact 
that the cut was made 
from a Kodachrome.
