Virgin (Lins 1946) 
Seedling No. 3990—C 
(Picardy X Rosemarie Pfitzer) X Maid of Orleans 
There are good whites and creams on the market, 
therefore to introduce “just another white’ wouldn’t 
make sense. VIRGIN, however, has been so outstanding, 
that I believe it will be welcomed by commercial growers 
and gardeners. 

The plants are very heavy and produce tall straight 
spikes with long flower heads of 20 or more buds. Opens 
7-8 and more plain petaled white florets of heavy sub- 
stance which are perfectly attached to stem. 
The picture of VIRGIN, which incidentally, was taken 
by Noweta Gardens, who had a few bulbs, shows the fine 
form of the florets. 
It is a good propagator, even large bulbs produce good 
quantities of good sized bulblets which grow easily. 
J. R. Hopkins had a few bulbs and calls it a grand 
white. Both Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Fischer urged its 
introduction. 
Maid of Orleans and Snow Princess are considered 
leading commercial whites. VIRGIN is definitely superior 
in every way, the way it grows for us and I believe it will 
become a leading white commercial and show flower. 
Midseason bloomer. 
Considering the heavy, propagating qualities of 
VIRGIN, it’s introductory price is very low. You will 
grow VIRGIN eventually.

Trocadero (Lins 1946) 
Seedling No. 3712—C—(Picardy X Aflame) X Pfitzer’s Triumph 


I’m sorry I could not get sheet film to photograph the row of TROCADERO while 
in bloom. The plants are uniformly tall, 5 ft. from large bulbs, under field conditions. 
Have long flower heads of 18 to 20 buds opening 5-6, 52 inch wide open, plain petaled, 
well attached florets of heavy substance. 
Besides TROCADERO making fine plants, it also has a beautiful color which I find 
hard to name but carrot salmon orange gives some idea. It is a self color with no 
make it a good commercial and show flower. Midseason bloomer. 
Its good color and good plant habits, plus its good propagating qualities, should 
should make a good commercial and show flower. Midseason bloomer.
