“| had LANTANA and BENISON bloom very nicely from bulblets which you sent 
to me and they were.very thrilling and beautiful. | liked them immensely.” 
—E. L. Vennard, lowa. 
Maid of Orleans kkw&wKK (PFITZER) (Large Dec.) (Early, mid- 
season) Milk white with creamy 
throat. Tall, straight plant with up to 8 large, well placed blooms open. The best 
all around white at a low price that I know of. Good vigorous grower. The white 
that is used more than any other as a commercial. Very fine in hybridizing. 
Margaret Beaton **** (fwomey) (Large Dec.) (Early 
mid-season) Pure snow white with 
small orange scarlet blotch in the throat. 6 to 8 well placed blooms open on a long 
flower head. This is one of the coming commercial and exhibition varieties. One 
of the real top-notchers. Makes a fine bulb and is easy to grow. In any list of best 
25. Fine for hybridizing. 

Margo *k*&*’ (HeEvDGEcocK) (Large For.) cay Beautiful clear 
pibscheertorsh - Loa apple blossom pink, sometimes flecks a little but not 
usually. Strong grower and a good variety. Makes a big head of bloom. This is 
really a very fine early variety but there is not much stock yet. 
< *%%*&%*% (PommeERT) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Very 
Mar uerite large clear water-melon pink with cream throat. 
Heavy substance and lightly ruffled. Opens 4 to 6 large blooms on a straight spike 
of medium height. Very good cut flower variety though with me it don’t grow 
quite as tall as it does for the originator. 
¢ %&*&*&* «=(BENEDICT) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) 
Marion Pearl Clear light salmon with lighter throat. 
Opens 6\to 9 large blooms with a total of 18 to 21 buds. Tall straight plant. Very 
beautiful and looks like a coming exhibition and commercial variety. Was very 
fine in my garden last season. 
**&%*&* «=«(BAERMAN) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Large 
Maxwelton soft rose with diffused darker blotch. Opens 6 
or more large round well placed blooms on a very tall plant. This variety was in- 
troduced some years ago but at first didn’t propagate very well. Now it is coming 
along in fine shape and I consider it one of the best pinks on the market. It will 
make a grand commercial when stock is available. A fine exhibition variety also. 
mM ayling wk*k*&Y =(HatcH) (Medium For.) (Mid-season) Pale light 
pink with a lavender tint. Opens 6 to 8 perfectly 
placed medium size blooms on a tall spike and with a long head. Heavy substance 
and nicely ruffled. Stem is slender, straight and wiry. Fine variety for any purpose. 
Mr. C. D. Fortnam, one of the best show growers in the country, had this in his 
‘ape collection of twenty-five varieties at the N. E. G. S. Show in Boston 
ast season. 
e *&*&*&* (Rives) (Med. For.) (Mid-season) Clear, tall light 
Milford blue with 7 or more blooms open. One of the best light 
blues and a strong grower. You can’t miss on this one for a light blue. 
s *& &%% «=(CoLEMAN) (Large Dec.) (Late mid-season) Beautiful 
Minuet light pinkish lavender. Opens 5-6 and sometimes 
more, well placed blooms at a time. The oldest lavender on the market and still 
the standard commercial lavender. The lavender by which all other lavenders are 
judged. Sometimes the stem is a little short and sometimes hard to propagate but 
still grown more than any other lavender. ; 
All the Minuet stock in the country that I have found is somewhat mixed 
with a pink variety. I get the cleanest stock I can find but will not guarantee that 
it is more than 95% true to name. 
“The CORONA and the reds you sent me last year were the loveliest things | have 
ever seen. They were very large. —R. B. Roos, Jr., Texas.
