and ruffled with rolled back petals, giving a very pleasing round bloom effect. 
opsus one with P showing color and a total of 18 buds. Tall, straight spike. One 
of the finest purples. 
Sam KKK (Large Dec.) (Early) Clear deep rose. Large wide 
Cordelia ; pnehel ahtly ruffled blooms open on a head of about 
18 buds. Somewhat similar to King Lear, of which it is a sister seedling, except 
that it is rose instead of purple and blooms open up wider.

Corona ore: creamy toward the throat with rose picotee edge 
on all petals. Very distinctive and beautiful. 6 to 8 large well open blooms on a. 
head of 18 buds. Tall strong grower and fine Hasan One of the very finest for 
all purposes. As a commercial cut flower it will be much more popular than Beacon 
as it is more of a florist’s color. It will largely take the place of Picardy which in 
many places is acquiring disease. Corona brings the highest prices in the cut flower 
market and is a great exhibition variety and for sheer beauty doesn’t take a back 
seat for any of them. This is really a top-notcher that you will eventually grow. A 
favorite with the ladies. See picture on cover. 
a Kw’ (Med. Dec.) (Early) Dazzling scarlet with white line 
Firefly on lip. Best early scarlet variety. With me is inclined 
to be short but grows plenty tall for most people. Being so early and such a fine 
color it is valuable as an early cut flower, and for the fan who wants to get blooms 
as early as possible.

Glamis rose with creamy lip. 6 to 8 large wide open, ruffled, 
fluted, needle point blooms open on a plant 4 to 414 feet tall. This variety com- 
bines most of the good qualities you can ask for in a glad. Robert Pruitt a well 
known grower of Oregon who raises some bulbs for me and who is a very good 
judge says he considers Glamis one of the finest if not the finest pink in existence.

King Lear Dleterith teil veralinesonied cenoraliinetalemonrane 
open on a tall, strong, willowy spike. Finest purple of the older ones and a parent 
of several beautiful newer ones. Very valuable as a breeder. Its large size, heavily 
ruffling, earliness and other good qualities make it a ““must have’’ for anyone who 
likes the purple shades. Though I haven’t considered this a commercial color this 
past season I did ship quantities of them to market and had many calls for it for 
cut flowers. Many cut flower growers are stocking this now.
