GENGHIS KHAN - ( Beltane X Picardy ) 
Because of scarcity of stock, Genghis Khan missed out on every show in 1941. It is hoped 
that more adequate stock will permit it to be shown at a number of major shows during the 
coming season. 
Genghis Khan is considered by competent judges to be the best Scheer variety to date. A huge, 
highly ruffled pink, with faultless placement on straight spike. Mid-season, 80 - 90 days. 
Florets up to 634”, of very heavy substance, intensely ruffled, and somewhat laciniated with 
6-7 perfectly placed florets open on a 19-21 bud spike; color a pleasing warm pink, blending 
to lighter throat; plant a vigorous grower with heavy foliage, and a good bulblet maker. On 
this point I wish to make a correction of the statement made in my 1941 announcement. In 
that announcement I said that Genghis Khan appeared to be only a fair bulblet producer, and 
that large bulbs made very few bulblets; the past season has led me to change my opinion 
on this point, for Genghis Khan proved to be a very good bulblet maker, even the large bulbs 
doing well, and the stock from bulblets gave many #1 and #2 bulbs - it must be borne in 
mind that the 1940 season was an unusually short and generally unfavorable one for bulb and 
bulblet growth. 
Genghis Khan, at its first showing in 1940, scored the signal honor of receiving four awards: 
Blue Ribbon as first in the open pink class, Purple Ribbon as division champion, Purple Ros- 
ette as best exhibition, and Purple Rosette as grand champion spike of the show. 
Don’t overlook this one as it is sure to be heard from.

best glad in all my plantings and that includes the 20,000 seedlings of my own. It certainly is 
everything that you said it was - and then some ---”
