GENGHIS KHAN - ( Beltane [Mrs. P. W. Sisson x Comm. Koehl] X Picardy ) 
This outstanding large ruffled pink is coming to the fore very rapidly. It was introduced 
prematurely, when stock of it was still very small, and, what there was of it, was nearly 
all old because I had not made any effort to propagate it. As a result the first few bulbs 
sold made few bulblets and their performance was not typical, but since new stock grown 
from bulblets has been available, Genghis Khan has made a wonderful showing which has 
more than substantiated the enthusiastic reports made following its first showing. It has 
shown that it is able to meet all comers on more than an equal footing and will have to 
be reckoned with henceforth.

A striking, heavily ruffled, large pink. 
Color - Medium light pink, blending to a light cream throat without conspicuous marking.

up to 634 inches, 6-7 open, 5-6 showing color, on an 18-21 bud flowerhead. 
Spike - Straight and strong, 45-50”. 
Plant - Healthy, with good foliage; good bulblet producer and bulblets germinate well.

MARSEILLAISE - ( Aida X Pelegrina ) 
A grand late red. Prominent growers have called it the best red that they have seen. 
A favorite with florists. 
Color - A glowing, deep crimson-scarlet that is fade-proof and makes it conspicuous in 
any planting. Narrow cream lines on the throat petals add greatly to the effect. 
Florets - Large - up to 6% inches - plain petaled, well spaced and placed on an excep- 
tionally long flowerhead with up to 27 buds. 
Spike - Tall, stiff, and strong, up to 60-65” - one of the tallest in my planting each year.
