The 1944 Releases 
CONNECTICUT YANKEE. The reports reaching me on Yankee are most flat- 
tering and as it becomes better distributed will be in great demand. Here are samples 
of some of the reports received: 
“Great Glad and beautiful.”—Wisc. 
“Of all of the glads I grew last summer, Connecticut Yankee and P39 were the 
two best.”—Ill. 
“Think Connecticut Yankee one of the finest things I have seen. That sparkling 
color is simply beautiful and placement absolutely 100%.”—N. Y.

RED RIVAL 
Color, very bright glowing red of exceptional brilliance, clean solid self. 6 very 
large blooms with 6 showing color on a 18-20 bud spike. Height in field without spe- 
cial culture about 55 inches. Medium bulblet producer. Strong grower and produces 
clean, healthy bulbs. Blooms in about 85 days. 
LAVENDER PRINCE 
This is a King Arthur seedling with other parent unknown. It is about two 
shades lighter than King Arthur, perhaps a shade between Minuet and King Arthur. 
Practically a self-color. Very beautiful and quite an improvement on King Arthur. 
6 medium sized blooms (44%"-454”) on a 18-20 bud spike. The florets are wide open, 
arranged in good placement on a tall, wiry spike of about 55”. Bulblet production 
and germination good. Produces solid, healthy bulbs. I feel confident this variety 
will take its place right in the front row among the lavenders.
