1946 BULB CATALOG 
13 


ROSE DELIGHT (462) (Jack) (Early) One of the 
most important acquisitions to our catalogue. 
A light rose seedling of Early Rose that has all 
the qualities of a good cut flower. Paler than 
Early Rose and most people prefer the color. 
Slender, stiff, wiry stems. (L .10; 10-.80) (M 
10-.50) (S 10-.30) Blbts. .30 pkg. 
ROSE GEM (362) (Fischer) (Early) Rose Gem is 
a euphony of color and style. Three to five 
waxy, distinctly blotched 31-inch florets are 
gracefully arranged on slender stems. A re- 
freshing medium rose with a large sharp cream 
blotch. A vigorous grower and a runaway 
propagator. Burns in hot weather. Fragrant. 
(L. .35; 10-$2.80) (M_ .25; 10-$2.00) (S .15; 10- 
$1.20) Blbts. 10-.25; 100-$2.00. 
ROSE O’ DAY (566) (Fischer) (Early Midseason) 
Rose O’Day is distinctive in color, massive in 
size, and robust in growth. It opens ten large 
rosy lavender florets in a formal double row 
arrangement on tall arrow-like spikes. Plants 
are especially robust and make_ excellent 
growth from bulblets. We had a profusion of 
nice spikes of this unusual colored glad last 
summer. (L $1.00; 10-$8.00) (M .75; 10-$6.00) 
(S .50; 10-$4.00) Blbts. 10-.35; 100-$2.50. 
ROSY MORN (442) (Riley) (Early Midseason) 
Rosy Morn is a shimmering clear coral pink 
with a large white throat that won a place as 
a cut flower in our gardens last summer. Did 
well under adverse conditions. Unusually round 
in form. Brilliant color. Similar to Beacon 
and Valor. (L .10; 10-.80) (M 10-.50) (S 10-.35) 
Blbts. .25 pkg. 
ROSY RED (362) (Knight) (Early) A rosy red 
that may go all the way as an early cut flower. 
Easy grower. (L .50; 10-$4.00) (M .35; 10-$2.80) 
(S .25; 10-$2.00) Blbts. 10-.50; 100-$4.00. 
RUFFLED BEAUTY (410) (Prestgard) (Midsea- 
son) Light yellow of unusual personality and 
ruffling. Opens several blooms on a medium 
length stem. Lovely for floral pieces. Our 
leading cut-flower yellow during midseason. 
(L 10-.65) (M 10-.35) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
SHIRLEY TEMPLE (406) (Pruitt (Late) Shirley 
Temple still proves its worth as a late cut flow- 
er. A tall, sculptured, waxy ruffled cream of 
great beauty. Plant late to avoid crooking. 
(L 10-.65) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
SILVER SWORD (400) (Hatch) (Midseason) 
White, similar to Maid of Orleans. (L .10; 
10-.80) (M 10-.50) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
SILVER WINGS (500) (Ritsima) (Midseason) An- 
other creamy sport of Picardy that is supposed 
to be an improvement over Leading Lady. They 
are very similar. Probably a little whiter with 
heavier substance. (L $5.00) (M $4.00) (S $3.00) 
Blbts. 1-.40; 10-$3.50. 
SILVERY TETON (462) (Zimmer) (Midseason) 
An improved Dream O’ Beauty, and one that 
performed very well for us during the drought 
last summer. A pleasing shade of rose red. 
Slow propagator. (L 2-.25; 10-$1.00) (M 2-.20; 
10-.80) (S 4-.25; 10-.50) 
SNOW PRINCESS (400) (Pfitzer) (Early Midsea- 
son) Try Snow Princess if you want to get 
started in a white on short notice. An im- 
proved Maid of Orleans, being purer in color, 
larger, and more uniform in performace. Very 
strong grower; bulblets grow to sizable bulbs 
the first year. Our leading commercial white. 
(L 10-.65) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
SNOWSPRITE (300) (Fischer) (Early Midseason) 
Equisitely ruffled milky white, medium decora- 
tive. Unsurpassed by any other white for ar- 
tistic floral pieces. Excellent grower and fast 
propagator. No good during dry weather. (L 
10-.65) (M 10-.35) (S 10-.25 Blbts. .20 pkg.
