had twelve flowers open and nine showing 
color. (An orchid which eventually may 
outclass Minuet!) Among these seedlings, 
also, was a cinnabar red with a silver edge 
to the petals. We had a brilliant pink which 
could be seen above all others in the gar- 
den; Picardy-like, slightly ruffled with rose 
on the lower petals. Seven-inch flowers was 
the measurement of this and a beautiful 
ruffled white with an ivory throat and an 
attractive foliage. 
In the final analysis—which is digging- 
time — we found beautiful, large, clean 
bulbs, some five or six inches across from 
the small bulbs planted in the spring. All 
were gassed with Methyl-Bromide before 
Storage. 
SEEDLING BULBS 
No bulbs listed have ever flowered as 
these bulbs are from seed planted in 1944. 
If planted early and given good care, they 
should flower in 1945. Those who order 
first will get the largest bulbs. Each bulb 
will produce a new variety, no matter how 
many you may order from a giver cross. 
You, and only YOU, will have the sole 
privilege of naming each variety, depend- 
ing upon the result. As we do not know 
the color from any given cross, we give 
no warranty how a‘seed bulb in this cata- 
logue will turn out. 
Bulb Discounts 
Bulb discounts are the same as seed dis- 
counts, excepting that instead of cash 
discounts, you get the discount in extra 
bulbs.
