We consider SNOWSHEEN the best white glad on the market and MARY- 
LAND MAID 1s the outstanding pink in its class and color for commercial use.

SNOW SHEEN 
The white that 1s different—The white that refuses to take a back seat—The 
white with the fast growing record. Introduced in 1942, SNOWSHEEN is a 
nicely ruffled pure white without any other color, stigma and stamens slightly 
cream—6 good facing 4 inch wide open triangular florets and 4 showing color, 
20 buds on a 25 inch flower head, stands 54 inches or more in field, medium thin 
very stiff stem, strong healthy grower, medium broad foliage makes a beautiful 
bulb that is a good producer of bulblets which germinate readily. Bulbs do not 
split as some whites do. SNOWSHEEN is tops for both exhibition and com- 
mercial use. Blooms in 75 days. 
SNOWSHEEN started on its winning way in the seedling class during 1941. 
Under number RPS2 it won two championships and The American Home Achieve- 
ment Medal and has been a consistent winner ever since.
