MELROSE (Lins), This being a 
cross between a blood seedling 
and Picardy, the color of the large 
ruffled florets is between deep 
rose pink of bluish cast and rose 
red blending into an American 
Beauty color throat. Plants are 
medium height and build a good 
spike. Florists consider this a fine 
color. Plants and bulbs are heal- 
thy and is a good propagator. L.,

cutflowers. Is a very healthy 
variety and makes sound bulbs 
and large bulblets. The Michigan 
State College, Dept. of Botany
