a rich blood red, flaked black, with its good tex- 
tured and slightly ruffled blooms, makes an im- 
pressive show of beautiful color. It grows very 
straight and has good placement, tho the 6” blooms 
are slightly crowded, and the heavy flowerhead 
needs support in the field with 9 to 11 open. Also 
it’s one of my best breeding parents with several 
of its offspring ready for introduction soon. A fair 
propagator and germinator of bulblets, growing 
about 48” tall, 23” flowerhead, 6-6%2” bloom, 20 
buds, and opens up to 12. It has won many awards 
and at E.S.G.S. Annual 1945 won ist. Am., and Ist 
3 spikes Open; and Open 500 Class Sweepstakes.
