ROSE DEFIANT 
Commander Koehl X Picardy 
(82 Days) ... Ruffled and frilled old rose self with 
light picotee of cream. Very good ex. type spikes and 
a fine performer. Our shortage of large bulbs has 
prevented us from showing but sparingly in the past. 
A top threat in any man’s show. Good propagator 
and grower. Our statement last year, “Wish we had a 
million,” still stands. We consider it one of the finest, 
if not THE finest in its color section today. See it and 
you want it. Twenty buds, 9 open, 5 inch floret, 26 
inch flowerhead, 50 inches tall. Straight strong stem. 
Placement always good with us. 1938—Grand champ- 
ion sdlg. and reserve champion of show Wellsville. 
1940—First one spike, first three spike, sec. champion, 
show champion Wellsville. First R. I. Ohio State. 1941 
—First R. I. Ohio State. First R. I. and sec. champ. 
also runner up show champion, Midwest. Prices same 
as King Click. 
OHIO NONPAREIL 
Picardy X Commander Koehl 
(90 Days) . .. Big red scarlet exhibition and com- 
mercial that is receiving a lot of comment. At twelve 
shows in the past two years we have seen no better 
red. We will not say now which is the best red, Ohio 
Nonpareil or King Click, they'll have to fight it out 
in the shows in the same class. Any way you look 
at it, they’re ribbon cashers. Ohio Nonpareil is a fine 
propagator though blts. are small. We are more inter- 
ested in propagating this one for cut flowers than 
selling bulbs. Twenty buds, 9 open, 27 inch flower- 
head, 62 inches tall. We have grown it to 70 inches.
