Blue Lagoon 
(Milford X Maid of Orleans) (75 Days) Medium depth of 
blue, almost self, shades lighter in upper throat and slightly deeper 
on lower throat petal. ‘Tall, straight grower 60 inches high, 44% to 
5 inch wide open blooms of excellent texture, with 6 to 8 well 
placed blooms open on a 24 inch to 27 inch flower head. Excellent 
propagation and germination. 
The only fault that this variety has, if it can be called that, is that under 
very wet conditions it has a tendency to grow very tall and to stretch its flower 
head, with the blooms spaced decoratively and too far apart. It is a wonderful 
grower under the driest conditions. Bulbs are exceedingly healthy. It has 
never thrown a crooked spike, and can be cut almost 100%. We believe this 
variety a. definite advance in the blue class. Should be an easy winner for 
show and fine commercial. 
Large $8.00 ea. Medium $6.00 ea. Small $4.00 ea. 
With purchase of bulb you may purchase up to 10 bulblets. 
Priced $1.00 ea. — 10 for $8.00
