1945 BULB CATALOG 5 

BADGER BEAUTY (Krueger) (Midseason) A tall 
clear lavender that is rapidly gaining in pop- 
ularity. Would that it opened a few more and 
had heavier subtsance. (L. .25) (M. .15) (S. .10) 
Bbis. 10-.20. 
BARCAROLE (Palmer) (Late midseason) Heavily 
ruffed large orange that opens up to 6 well 
placed blooms. Although it is rot always as 
tall as we would like, it produces a lovely spike. 
a 10-.65) (M. 10-.35) (S. 10-.25) Bbts.—Pkg. 
BEACON (Palmer) (Midseason) One of the very 
best cut flowers on the market. Opens 8 well 
placed blooms on tall straight willowy stems. 
This rose scarlet with a cream throat is as fine 
for exhibition purposes as commercial. (L. 10- 
.65) (M. 10-.35) (S. 10-.25) Bbts.—Pkg. .20. 
BELLA DONNA (Pfitzer) (Early) The most beau- 
tiful color of all the blues. Not as vigorous as 
some. (L. 3-.25; 10-.70) 
BELTRAMI (Lins) A smooth pale smoky that 
shows its Picardy ancestry. Recommended. (L. 
20) (M. .15) (S. .10) 
BLACK DIAMOND (Gelser) (Early) If you like 
the dark ones, you will be won by the velvety 
sheen, rich coloring and ruffling of Black Dia- 
mond. I believe this Morocco seedling is the 
most luxurious of the dark reds. Bulblets are 
difficult to germinate. (L. .40) (M. .30) (S. .20) 
Bbts. 10-.25; 100-$2.00. 
BLACK OPAL (Errey) (Midseason) Magnificent 
tall deep red. The 9-10 round florets are per- 
fectly placed on a stretchy flower head. One 
of the best dark reds. (L. 3-.25; 10-.75) (M. 
4-.20; 10-.40) (S. 10-.25) Bbts.—Pkg. .20. 
BLAZE (Lins) (Midseason) Commercial light 
scarlet self. Mad propagator. Makes a fine cut 
flower. (L. 3-.25; 10-.75) (M. 4-.20; 10-.40) (S. 
10-.25) Bbts.—Pkg. .20. 
BLESSED -DAMOZEL (Baerman) (Uate midsea- 
son) A new edition of New Era that seems to 
be more vigorous. Rather short for us during 
the dry spell this past summer. (L. $1.50) (M. 
1-$1.00) (S. .50) Bbts. 3-.25. 
BLUE BEAUTY (Pfitzer) (Early) Cne of the best 
medium blues. It is a tall, strorg grower and 
produces up to 7 large wide open blooms. 
L. 3-.25; 10-.75) 
BLUE RUFFLES (Brauer) (Midseason) This 
daintily ruffled delicate blue was a most pleas- 
ing addition to our garden. We would gladly 
increase its height if it were possible. The 
average fancier would be delighted with this 
pastel blue. (L. .25) (M. .15) (S. 2-.20) Bbts. 
10-.20; 100-$1.60. 
BURMA (Palmer) (Midseason) Burma is unusual 
in its rich coloring, very heavy substance, and 
fine ruffling. The color is a rich rose-red some- 
where between red and purple; the spike is of 
good height and of fine arrangement. It was 
one of the best spikes of the season in Oregon 
last year. Although our spikes were not up to 
par this year, we saw some magnificent speci- 
mens at several shows. (L. $1.50) (M. $1.00) 
(S. .50) Bbts. 3-.25; 10-.75. 
CAMROSE (Twomey) (Midseason) An _ ethereal 
shade of shell pink shading to a cream throat. 
We are watching this as a likely commercial 
cut flower. Probably not too heat resistant. (L. 
3-.25; 10-.75) (M. 3-.20; 10-.50) (S. 10-.30) Bbts. 
.25 pkg.

erican Home Medal 1943. Beautifully ruffled 
light yellow Candelabra is sure to win your

(L. $1.50) CM. $1.00) (S. .75)

CENTENNIAL (Fischer) (Midseason) We have 
had some perfectly marvelous spikes of this

vigorous plants produce 4-6 blooms on lengthy 
spikes. (L. 2-.20; 10-.80) (M. 3-.20; 10-.50) 
CHINA MAID (Fischer) (Midseason) Due to the 
drought, performance was not up to par this 
year. Mr. E. H. Lins of Cologne writes, ‘‘China 
Maid is certainly a fine clean beauty. Since 
Picardy, at least for me, is losing color (they 
are pale and lifeless) China Maid should fill the 
bill, and I would say it is more beautiful than 
P'cardy at its best.’’ It is an unusual shade of 
clear glowing salmon, the color accentuated by 
a warm yellow throat and midribs. (L. .25; 
10-$2.00) CM. .15; 10-$1.20) (S. .10; 10-.80) Bbts.
