Red Spire (1940) 
Red with a suggestion of rose. Produces 
a tall straight spike with exceptional long 
flower head. Mr. Guy Hinshaw, Annan- 
dale, Minnesota, has a color slide of a swell 
spike of RED SPIRE with 10 open florets 
on a fine flower head. Also have other fine 
reports on Red Spire. The Legion Trial 
Grounds gave it top rating during three 
years’ trial. 
Richglad Gardens, Richmond, Va., after 
testing it several years under No. 3433SHPG 
named and publicised it in their 1940 fall 
literature. Richglad Garden hold most of 
the stock of this variety. My stock on 
hand of RED SPIRE consists of small bulbs 
only. Suggest you try a few small bulbs 
of this. 
Small 25¢; 10 for $2.00 
Bulblets 10 for 80¢ 
Chocolate Cream 
This is a beautful large decorative variety. 
The color, as the name implies, suggests 
rich chocolate blending into a large, clean, 
conspicuous creamy white throat. Although 
we always grew every bulblet of this, we 
never were able to supply all the orders we 
had for Chocolate Cream. 
Complimentary reports such as the one 
received from a high class cutflower grower 
in Pennsylvania show what experts think 
of it. We quote: 
“The color effect is beautiful and blends 
well with light shades. It caused consider- 
able comments from buyers. My wife is 
crazy about it.” 
When well grown, Chocolate Cream can 
produce exhibition spikes with eight open. 
Large Bulbs 25¢; 10 for $2.00 
No. 3379 Multipetaled 
This variety is worth while even if it were 
the conventional single type. It makes a 
tall strong plant with good flower head, 
opening five 5-inch soft red florets with 
plenty bud color. The outstanding feature 
however is that the lower 4-5 florets have 
around 8 petals. The balance of the spike 
seed or pollen parent. 
Should be of value to those working on 
the “Double Glad.” 
Large and Medium Bulbs, 10 for $1.00
