Five-inch floret, 7 open, 18 buds, 26-inch flowerhead, 
48 inches overall, excellent substance and texture, with 
placement very good. Almost formal in style. 
Have to stop and dry our eyes as we look at the 
big price cut this year, which shouldn’t happen to a 
dog. JUST ONE-HALF OFF. We can’t afford it, 
but don’t want anyone to have any excuse for not 
getting a start now. If you don’t grow Oklahoma next 
summer, you're cheating yourself. We have a fair 
stock but probably not enough to go around. No. 1, 
$1.50; No. 2, $1.25; No. 3, $1.00; No. 4, 75 cents; No. 
), 20 cents: No.6, 35 cents: bulblets, 15 cents each, or 
10 for $1.00. 
LAKE PLACID 
Mammoth White X Yellow Perfection 
(About 90 days) ... A large, fine performing cream, 
almost white, with creamy yellow throat that checks 
up most favorably both as a show and commercial 
along side of our present day good ones in this color, 
but is different in type of floret. First three-spike 
and American Home Ach. winner at Ohio State 
(Akron), 1944. Did not bloom for shows in 1945. 
Can hold its own, however; we will bet our last post- 
age stamp on that. We rate this glad right along with 
our best; the other fellow’s, too. Small, wirey, straight 
stem. Good placement on high average. Heavy pro- 
pagator. Bulblets of easiest germination. Six-inch 
floret, 8 open and better, 19 buds, 27-inch flowerhead, 
65 inches overall. A fairly good stock allows a reason- 
ably good cut in price. Commercial growers check on

cents, or 10 for $1.30. 
SNOW MOUNTAIN 
Colossus X Pearl Necklace 
(About 70 days) ... Another one of the big ones. 
The lovely drape shape floret a Powers’ model could 
wear without spoiling dignity. About every spike 
crooks. If it grew straight, it would be a million 
dollar baby. Makes wonderful baskets, with the crook 
mostly coming just under the flowerhead, and there 
are enough near-straight spikes for basket centers. 
We can truthfully say we never saw more beautiful 
baskets of anything. For near-by florists it’s a knock- 
out. Excellent propagator with bulblets germinating 
with the easiest. While we are listing Snow Mountain 
this year, our interest is not centered on making 
sales. We have about 1000 bulbs and would like to 
plant them all in 1946 to work up a stock for cut 
flower trade. Large, per each, $3.00; Medium, $2.00; 
Small, 80 cents; bulblets, 25 cents, or 10 for $1.60.
