LAKE PLACID 
Mammoth White X Yellow Perfection 
(About 90 days) ... A very worthy introductory 
mate for Victory Queen that will outclass most 
of the present day creams as a commercial as well 
as a stiff class contender at the major shows. A 
hooded butterfly cream, almost white with creamy 
yellow throat, all very clear. A real beauty. For 
show patrons reference this was shown under num- 
ber 204-Z. 5 inch floret (more often 6 inch with 
us). 8 open, 19 buds, 27 inch flowerhead, 60 
inches tall. Small very wiry straight stem. Place- 
ment very good on high average. Heavy producer 
of blts. of easiest germination of near 100%. We 
hope to build up a large stock of both Lake Placid 
and Victory Queen with a view of getting back in 
the cut flower game again on a good scale after 
the war when help is available. First three spike 
and American Home Achievement Winner at 
Ohio State (Akron) 1944. We predict it will hold 
its own on any show table. No. 1, $3.00; No. 2, 
SOO INO e582 U0 INO 4091505. No 251.00: 
No. 6, .70; Blts., .30 each or 10 for $2.00. 
OKLAHOMA 
Lavender Ruffles X Marmora 
(About 95 days) ... The state is unique. The 
song is a hit. The ship has what it takes. The 
glad has them all. A color all its own has won 
the admiration of all who have seen it. A beau- 
tifully ruffled wide open pinkish lilac jewel with 
creamy yellow throat, we are introducing with 
pride at cut rate prices because it has had the 
misfortune of not blooming for show dates the 
past two years. “If we do not sell any this year 
we will be satisfied as the stock is not as large as 
we would like. Good propagator and blts. of easy 
germination. Only small amounts of blts. were 
planted last spring. To our customers who are 
well enough acquainted to take our word we say, 
“DO NOT by pass Oklahoma.” We can not say 
too much for the all around beauty and perform- 
ance of this slick number. Floret 5 inches, 7 open, 
18 buds, 26 inch flowerhead, 48 inches tall. Ex- 
cellent substance and texture. Very good place- 
ment. Straight ramrod stem of good length. In- 
formal type, almost formal at times. Same prices 
as Lake Placid except no No. 6 for sale this year 
and blits., .40 cents each. 10 for $3.30.
