GOLDEN GARDENS 1946 INTRODUCTIONS 
MARGARET JANE (Lantz) Seedling 36-1-15 (Picardy x Olive Goodrich) COLOR— 
Light pink shading to creamy white in throat with small inconscicuous lavender 
blotch which adds greatly to its beauty, making a very beautiful combination 
of color, pink, white, and lavender. Tall straight spikes (forty-eight to sixty 
inches tall) holding six to eight flowerets open. The buds, are light pink with 
several showing color. Sixteen to twenty inch flower heads. The flowerets 
are 3% inches in diameter. Mr. Howard V. Wright of the Maryland trial garden 
reports as follows: ‘The color was clean and attractive and the flowerets 
showed excellent substance and heat resistance.’ We have had good bulblet 
production with bulblets germinating well. Large strong growing plant, heavy 
dark green foliage. Spike does not crook in severest weather. Blooms in ninety 
days average time. Price $2.50 for any size bulb. No bulblets. 
GOLDEN FRAGRANCE (Lantz) Seedling 36-1-42 (Milbloom x Picardy. COLOR— 
ES ES SS 
Deep cream or very light yellow. Opens five very beautiful, creamy yellow 
fragrant. Medium large, 43 to 5 inch flowerets on medium tall straight spike. 
Healthy foliage; 16 buds, 3 to 4 showing color. A very beautiful, very fragrant 
variety. If this would open more florets it would be a knockout. However it 
is a good commercial with good flower substance and it may be valuable in 
hybridzing because of its fragrance. Fair propagator, bulblets germinate 
well. Blooms in 70 days, of average planting time. Price $2.50 for any size 
bulb—no bulblets.
