1946 BULB CATALOG 11 

tives will certainly like this one. Open 5-7 
frilled yellow-throated lavender blooms on a 
wiry straight stem. Good grower and propa- 
gator. Excellent commercial. A medium decora- 
tive. (L .30; 10-$2.40) (M.20; 10-$1.60) (S 2-.25; 
10-$1.00) Blbts. 10-.25; 100-$2.00. 
LAVENDER PRINCE (466) (La Salle) (Midsea- 
son) The personality of Lavender Prince is 
similar to that of King Arthur of which it is a 
seedling. It is larger, taller and more husky 
but not as refined as the older favorite. One 
of the best lavenders of recent years and a 
welcome addition to an otherwise weak color. 
(L .75; 10-$6.00) (M .50; 10-$4.00) (S .35; 10- 
$2.80) Blbts. 10-.75; 100-$6.00. 
LAVENDER RUFFLES (366) (Wilson) (Early) 
When well grown, a beautiful combination of 
lavender and ruffles. Can be very ordinary. 
Becoming popular as a cOmmercial. (L 10-.65) 
(M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
LEADING LADY (506) (Johnston) (Midseason) 
When well grown, words do not describe the 
lavish splendor of this stalwart cream. One 
of the most popular varieties grown and de- 
serves its ranking. It didn’t perform as well 
for us last summer as previously. (L .60; 10- 
$5.00) (M_ .40; 10-$3.00) (S .25; 10-$2.00) Blbts. 
10-.50; 100-$4.00. 
LEGEND (440) (Fischer) (Midseason) Tall, fine, 
and wonderfully delicate. Many spikes photog- 
raphically perfect in their broad, massive beau- 
ty; real show spikes! This warm light pink 
has a happy trait of producing better flowers 
from No. 5 bulbs than many varieties do from 
No. 1’s. If you like light pinks, you will surely 
like this one. Very popular. Fine commercial. 
(L .20; 10-$1.60) (M .15; 10-$1.20) (S .10; 10-.80) 
Blbts. 10-.20; 100-$1.25. 
LEONA (462) (Pruitt) (Midseason) One of the 
best deep rose reds on the market; tall, straight, 
and wiry stemmed—qualities which make it a 
good cutter. (L 10-.80) (M 10-.40) (S_ 10-.25) 
Blbts. .25 pkg. 
LIBERATOR (436) (Baerman) (Midseason) One 
of the most richly colored and most stylishly 
formed scarlets. The blooms are as precisely 
formed as if they were finely moulded and 
shaped. However, under adverse conditions, the 
color sometimes peels. This beautiful glad is 
deserving of more publicity. (L 2-.25; 10-$1.00) 
(M 2-.15; 10-.70) (S 10-.40) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
MANDALEEN (440) (Lins) (Late Midseason) 
Mandaleen is a shimmering light pink blending 
to a creamy white throat that won instant ap- 
proval. Coupled with its color appeal it is an 
excellent performer in every way. Should be 
a florists’ and fanciers’ favorite. Performance 
but fair last summer. (L .20; 10-.$1.50) (MI .15; 
10-$1.20) (S .10; 10-.60) Blbts. 10-.20; 100-$1.50. 
MARGARET BEATON (401) (Twomey) (Early 
Midseason) A rich milky white with a tiny 
spark of vermillion deep in the throat. Reminds 
one of those beautiful white phlox with a pink 
eye. Spikes are tall and free from crooking. 
Takes its place in the gladiolus hall of fame. 
(S 10-.25) 
MARGARET FULTON (332) (Ogrodnichek) 
(Early) Recommended as one of the best all- 
around glads. Rich salmon cut flower of dis- 
tinctive clean-cut form. (L 10-.65) (M 10-.35) 
(S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
MARQUEETA (421) (Lins) (Midseason) Mar- 
queeta is a welcome addition to the orange 
class. It has tall spikes on long flowerheads. 
Opens about 5 florets 512 inches in diameter, 
which are ruffled and of good form. The color 
is a light orange, blending to a lighter throat, 
overlaid with a small reddish blotch. Good 
performer. (L .25; 10-$2.00) (M .20; 10-$1.50)
