and Commercial giant of giants. Pure 
white without any marking. Florets 
6144-71% inches. 11-16 open (has held 
several more). Florets open wide and flat, 
have heavy substance and open up 
the stem very quickly. Stem is exception- 
ally wiry and strong. Foliage is abundant 
and very wide. Makes exceptionally fine 
looking bulbs and a fairly good quantity 
of large bulblets that germinate easily and 
grow well. Not a good bloomer from the 
smaller sizes but makes up for that plenty 
from large bulbs, be they young, old or 
even old divisions. Was both seedling 
champion and grand champion S. Austr. 
Glad Soc. ’37, scoring 90 a new high up 
to that time. We won with it in color 
classes Midwest, Mich. and S. E. Mich. 
and it was grand champion, Wyo., all ’41. 
Received British Award of Merit in ’39.

“The Crystal bulb I got from you in the spring did fine 
for me, giving me 16 florets all well open, the first one measur- 
ing 6 inches across. I made 5 crosses on it getting big, plump 
seeds. Also about 60 blts.’’ 11-26-40. J. W. B., Newmarket,

popularity and a slight tendency to weak- 
ness of stem under extreme _ temper-

once seen. We recorded 27 firsts won
