MATTERHORN 94 ***—+tt Exh. Pure 
white, slight cream in throat. Buds have 
a greenish cast. This variety sounds the 
knell for Mammoth White, for it has 
similar round florets of about same or 
larger size, a bit closer to pure white, 
flowerheads as big, substance and strength 
of spike beyond comparison. We were first 
to win with it in U. S., at Ind., ’38. It 
won at Ohio, Midwest and Wash., ’41. 
L .20 M .15 Blts (100, 1.50). 
MYRNA (Pruitt) 76 **—ttt Commercial. 
Ivory white. Ruffled. About half way 
between Maid of Orleans and Mary 
Elizabeth, its parents, but larger florets 
and 7-10 open. We had one spike open 
11 in the field. Positively wonderful cut 
flower habits. British A. M., ’39. Getting 
its share of grand championships. L .25 
M .15 S .10 Blts (100, 1.50). 
SILENTIUM (Pfitzer) 80 *+1ttf Dec. 
Com. A striking and elegant white glad, 
blending to a cream center containing a 
small carmine marking. Slender stems, 
excellent placement with regularity, grand 
cut flower habits, fine blooms from the 
smaller sized bulbs and a good propa- 
gator. Surely headed for world wide fame 
as a cut flower. We broke the ice for it in 
Dea awith2 firsts-at oS. E. Mich., ’40. 
We consider it the equal of Margaret 
Beaton in beauty and far superior as a 
cut flower. L 1.00 M .60 S .30 Bits 
(100, 8.00). 
SUB DEB (Evans) (62922) Sm. Dec. Com- 
mercial. 65 days. White without marking. 
Much whiter than the variety White 
Butterfly, possibly taller and more open, 
as well. Small florets, 2-3 inches, slightly 
hooded, well spaced, 5-8 open, limber but 
wiry stem. Easy grower, fast propagator, 
blooms exceptionally well from smaller 
sizes. Considerable show background 
evidences its increasing popularity. Brit- 
ish A. M., ’39. Grow quantities of various 
size bulbs and be agreeably surprised. 
L. 10 M .06 S .03 Blts (100, .30). 
CREAM 
JERSEY CREAM (Evans) 78 *—jtf Dec. 
Aptly named. Smooth, rich, deep cream. 
The only deep cream with perfect cut 
flower habits. Florets average 5 inches, 8 
or more open, 16-18 bud, 50 inches tall. 
Good propagator and makes exceptionally 
fine blooms from M and S bulbs. Sub- 
stance excellent. Cut flower blooms well to 
the tip. These traits, coupled with the un- 
usual color value and beautifully decora- 
tive form make the florists’ dream of a 
clear, deep cream, usable in all stages of 
bulb growth, come true. In several years 
of growing we have been unable to dis- 
cover any faults to mar this wonderful 
record. Fine reports from far and wide.

“Jersey Cream attracted a lot of attention in the trial 
ground and in Havre de Grace, where several of our mem- 
bers grew it. It looks to me to be about the best of the cream 
decorative varieties.’ 10-7-37. H. V. W.., Edgewood, Md. 
“All my bulblets of Jersey Cream bloomed.” 2-23-37, 
J. A. F., Atlanta, Ga. 
“Very pleased with your Jersey Cream. Must have a 
stock now for cut flowers—and any extras, please, in Jersey 
Cream.”’ 4-25-’38. V. C. F., Fremont, Nebr. 
“Think that Jersey Cream of yours is a peach. Bulb- 
lets with me grow better than any variety I have ever grown, 
and those florists fortunate enough to see it, all clamored 
for some when available.” 11-17-38. G. S.—the largest 
wholesale grower in the Chicago area. 
“Your Jersey Cream held up under withering heat last year 
and all others from your stock did excellently again. Have 
bought stock from nearly all glad raising districts but I honest- 
ly consider your stock superior in health and vitality to any 
I have received. You must have all the range of “‘vitamins’’ 
in your soil or somethin’ as they say.’’ 2-6-40. Prof. E. 
. S., Sacramento, Calif. 
MARY ELIZABETH 105 *—tft Dec. Pure, 
opaque white with strong, rich, creamy 
yellow throat. Beautifully ruffled. Thick, 
waxy substance. One of the most beau- 
tiful of all Decoratives. Ideal cutting 
habits. For years we have been praising 
and recommending this variety for all 
purposes. Now reasonably priced. ‘‘Most 
Beautiful bloom in the show’ award, 
C. G. S. and Sec. champ III. and Wisc., 
’38. We record firsts in 6 shows in each 
of ’39 and ’40, with repeats in Ohio and 
E. S. G. S. In ten more, '41, including 
Section champion, S. E. Mich and N. E.

“Thanks for your generous overcount on the McCoys and 
Mary Elizabeth, also the quality of the bulbs. Hot weather 
brought my McCoy into bloom mostly before the show. 
Had many with 14-16 open and 10-12 buds above that. 
However, I won the amateur sweepstakes, my McCoy was 
grand champion of the show and my Mary Elizabeth was 
‘most beautiful bloom in the show.’ This was my first 
attempt at the Canadian National shows.”’ 10-838. H. K.., 
Port Elgin, Ont. 
“Your heavy young bulbs did more than their share in 
winning the Amateur Point Achievement for me. And the 
C. G. S. annual you so kindly secured for me was fine and 
their symposium a great help in deciding what varieties 
to grow.” 11-21-38. M. B., Chelsea, Ia.
