OBERBAYERN (Pfitzer) +t{ Dec. Com. 
Very interesting novelty. The throat 
marking is extra large, so that one 
might almost call it a cream glad with 
extra wide edging of dark blue. Color is 
dark aniline blue with much cream in the 
throat. In fact the two lip petals are 
almost entirely cream and the other petals 
carry a narrow cream stripe. The florets 
are about 3% inches dia., very round and 
wide open. About 5-6 open, well placed 
on plant and thin, wiry stalks all in good 
proportion. Fairly good propagator but 
stocks as yet very limited. Only L bulbs 
will be sold for a few years. L each 
$5.00 Net.

dark pansy blue of a strong shade which

ed florets. This is Pfitzer’s own improve- 
ment on Pelegrina in color, size and tex- 
ire mieGn £liaatieti 3521. 3).
