MADELEINE BROWN resembles Picardy 
except that the color is deeper. It never crooks 
or grows stubby spikes as Picardy does. It is 
healthy of bulb and plant, and has been grown 
in quantity for a good number of years. It has 
been grown in many sections of the country, 
and reports indicate that it has far surpassed 
Picardy in the same fields in every way. 
; 
Your variety 141 is the best that you sent. 
It sure does resemble Picardy. The throat just 
a shade deeper and each one a perfect bloom, 
all tall, no dwarf ones like in Picardy. It sure 
ought to go places, and I do prefer it way over 
Picardy.

Mr. E. A. Lins reports: 
Seedling 141 (Madeleine Brown) was 
planted in same field this year (1942) as 
Picardy. I could not cut any Picardy, they 
were very poor, but 141 were all tall and straight 
and heat did not seem to affect them. 141 has 
always done fine here.
