Mercury (1941) 
A seedling of Picardy X Com. Koehl. 
While this is not an unusual cross, this 
particuar variety possesses a _ beatiful 
1 mellow vermillion color that shows up 
wonderfully under artificial lights. MER- 
CURY can build a massive show spike and 
its pure color will make it popular as a 
cutflower. 
At it’s first showing as a seedling in 
1940 MERCURY won THE AMERICAN 
HOME ACHIEVEMENT MEDAL, the 
DIVISION CHAMPION RIBBON, and also 
was selected as THE GRAND CHAMPION 
SPIKE, with six of the seven judges voting 
for it.

We have fine young stock, grown from 
bulblets, to offer for 1942. I might men- 
tion that peeled bulblets of MERCURY 
grown in propagating frame produced 
bulbs up to No. 1 and loaded with bulblets. 
When stock. becomes plentiful, Mercury 
will give a good account of itself on the 
} 
show table. 
Large $5.00, Medium $2.50, Small $1.00 
Bulblets 25¢, 10 for $2.00 
Flare (1939) 
A Dr. Bennet X Phitzer’s Tr. seedling. 
A fiery scarlet red, lighter throat overlaid 
bronzy crimson. An excellent performer, 
producing fine flower head of 5 inch florets 
on 4 foot spikes under field conditions. 
FLARE has a cast iron constitution. 
Reports from many sources show that it 
will perform satisfactorily under adverse 
conditions. Just the red for the fellow 
who will not pamper his glads. Our cut- 
flower custcmers call it “That fiery one.” 
Large 10¢, Med. 2 for 10¢, Small 4 for 10¢ 
Bulblets, 100 for 25¢
