Introducing “ORVAG” 
By ROGER ARNETT 
For several years we have been told by all Michi- 
ganders who saw it that Roger Arnett had a very fine 
orange sport of Vagabond Prince. It is indeed a pleasure 
to introduce for him at this time a glad that should be 
widely welcomed by hybridizers and fanciers alike. Roger 
says ‘’‘Orvag has habits similar to Vagabond Prince. It’s 
color is a salmon orange mostly on the orange side with 
a rather strong scarlet throat. The floret grows to about 
4% inches. The spike is tall with about 20-22 buds 
(have had 25) and a flower head 24-28 inches long. 
The overall plant grows to about 50 inches. Being a true 
sport it sometimes shows streaks of Vagabond brown in 
the floret. It flowers well from all size bulbs, but does 
its best from large bulbs. Ordinarily it is a midseason 
variety. It produces lots of bulblets which germinate very 
readily although they like warm weather to get started. 
Orvag has been my best parent for orange-colored seed- 
lings. | highly recommend it for breeding purposes.’’ A 
fair stock and good propagating habits have permitted 
a low introductory price. 
Large $1.00; Medium 50c; Small 25c; Bulblets 15
