CRYSTAL 
Pure White . . 7 inch Florets 
WHITE—00 Series 
CRYSTAL (E. Both) 75 days ***—t+ttt 
Exh. and Commercial giant of giants. Pure 
white without any marking. Florets 
614-71% inches. 11-16 open (has held 
several more). Florets open wide and flat, 
have heavy substance and open up 
the stem very quickly. Stem is exception- 
ally wiry and strong. Foliage is abundant 
and very wide. Makes exceptionally fine 
looking bulbs and a fairly good quantity 
of large bulblets that germinate easily and 
grow well. Not a good bloomer from the 
smaller sizes but makes up for that plenty 
from large bulbs, be they young, old or 
even old divisions. Was both seedling 
champion and grand champion S. Austr. 
Glad Soc. ’37, scoring 90 a new high up 
to that time. We won with it in color 
classes Midwest, Mich. and S. E. Mich. 
and it was grand champion, Wyo., all ’41.

MARGARET BEATON (Twomey) 94 **+ 
tit A beauty. Ivory white with small 
orange scarlet blotch. Tall, well formed 
spike. So beautiful that it has jumped into 
popularity and a slight tendency to weak- 
ness of stem under extreme temper- 
atures deters no one from wanting it, 
once seen. We recorded 27 firsts won 
about the country in ’41. See Tabulation 
of Winners for 1943. L $ .10 M .07 Bits

11 in the field. Positively wonderful cut 
flower habits. British A. M., ’39. Getting 
its share of grand championships.

tion of ’43 Winners. L .15 M .10.

as a cut flower. We broke the ice for it in
