lall, usually straight spike. One of the most popular reds, but doesn’t open up very

Sometimes health is temperamental.

Conquest salmon pink with cream throat blotch. 5-6 blooms

my own experience but have heard very good reports on it, so I am listing it for the

D ream 0 Beauty Large rose red. A good and popular 
color. Has two rows of blooms which are sometimes too far apart. Except for this

“The two that | liked best of the new ones that | tried this year were ANGELUS 
and AMULET, they were both very fine. The best bloom that | had of the entire planting 
this time was from FIREFLY and | had only one bulb planted and it gave two nice spikes 
and the best spike of the entire lot.”’ —W. H. Robertson, N. Car.
