MRS. MARK’S MEMORY ( K & M) 88 
***—_+t Exh. Largest purple glad to date. 
We have had blooms well over 8 inches on 
strong, tall spikes. Has a small dark 
carmine throat mark. A sensational Exh. 
variety. Judging by its powerful per- 
formance in our fields the last few years, 
we think it has proven itself a good com- 
mercial, as well. Firsts at Midwest and 
CG, G. S.—Winnipeg, '43.

open bloom in Wis.

LIGHT VIOLET—76 Series 
BEUPIGE (Butt) Sle *)-- ith Exh Light 
oriental blue, throat carries a deeper blue 
mark edged yellow. About as close to 
real light sky blue as we have yet seen. 
Giant florets are lightly creased and a bit 
ruffled, flare wide open, appear to run 
mostly to inverted type, single lip, top 
petal back. Can hold 6-8 open on tall, 
straight spikes. Our experience limited 
so far to growing bulbs (which cost us 
$25.00 each less currency exchange plus 
duty). Mr. Butt’s statement that it 
makes good bulbs and gives good increase 
appears likely to be substantiated. Bulbs 
only, any size, each $25.00. © 
DEEP VIOLET—78 Series 
OBERBAYERN (Pfitzer) +t Dec. Com. 
Very interesting novelty. The throat 
marking is extra large, so that one 
might almost call it a cream glad with 
extra wide edging of dark blue. Color is 
dark aniline blue with much cream in the 
throat. In fact the two lip petals are 
almost entirely cream and the other petals 
carry a narrow cream stripe. The florets 
are about 3% inches dia., very round and 
wide open. About 5-6 open, well placed 
on plant and thin, wiry stalks all in good 
proportion. Fairly good propagator but 
stocks as yet very limited. 
Each L $2.00 M $1.25 S .75 Blts .10.

in our list when introduced. Later study 
corroborated. An extremely large, round 
floret, 8 and more open, extra well supplied 
with buds. Color a lavender toned smoky 
of satisfactory color value. Won a 
first at Ohio, exh. section champ seedling

“Wanda, simply wonderful, a few days late for our show, 
but a very wonderful spike, Sir Galahad-My, what a glad! 
Words fail to describe the pleasure we derived from this Knight 
of all glads. Can 1 say more? 8 inch florets. Helen of 
Troy, what a beaury, tall, stately, plenty open, good keeper. 
H. B. Pitt produced the spike which won first in its class at the 
show. The bulblets have grown wonderfully well, as have 
Flying Fortress, Gray Dawn and Tunia’s Mahomet. Marlene 
Both a real beaury. We want more of them. Stella Antis- 
dale, a very beautiful glad. good color, vigorous.’’ 9-23-44

“In ’41 I purchased 2 small bulbs of Pinocchio. In 2 crop 
seasons I now have about 300 bulbs and lots of big bulvlets. 
it has proved a very good commercial with me.” 3-1-44
