SPINDRIFT: Seedling of Picardy x Myrna 
(No. C 21-2). 
Best Formal Seedling in Boston Show 
1946. Score 88%. 
It was exhibited in the Giant Class, having 
514” florets. However, it usually runs from 5” 
to 5%”. The spike grows up to 58” with a 26” 
to 28” flower head having twenty buds, six to 
seven open. The buds show as light cream, but 
the florets open as white with clear light yellow 
to cream throat. Florets have good texture, a 
little crinkled on the edges, wide open, well faced 
and attached. This should make a very popular 
commercial white.

STEPHANIE: Seedling of Aladdin x Shir- 
ley Temple (No. C 42-1). 
Honorable Mention: N. E. G. S.—1946. 
Dainty white, pink and yellow in striking 
harmony. Iniormal. The heavily ruffled broad 
petals have a wide edging of deep pink, shading 
through light cream to wnite in the throat. The 
lower petais have a clear light yellow hp shading 
to a deep pink on the outer tips and edges. lLav- 
ender stamens. ‘lhe vigorous plants produce wide 
open, round, heavy textured, 944” florets on a 54” 
to 06” spike and 20” to 22” head of sixteen buds. 
Six open and six show color. This is strictly a 
home garden variety, which many admirers say 
is the most beautiiul giad they have ever seen. 
This opinion is our reason for introducing this 
tiower, although the bottom floret is sometimes 
weakly attached, and we are not entirely satisfied 
with the keeping quality of the bulbs. 
We are not pricing this variety, but 
offer it as a premium of one bulb for each 
order of $12.00. 
VEGA: Seedling of Shirley Temple x 
June Bride (No. C 44-2). 
This is a sister seedling to Canopus, Agatha 
and Orion, and is a smaller edition of Canopus, 
having a little difference in the intensity of the 
cream color, so that it appears nearly white, and 
with a slightly darker shading of crimson on the 
light yellow lip. The 5%” florets are ruffled, 
fluted and pointed and of very heavy texture, 
well placed on a 56” to 65” spike, 26” to 30” flower 
head of sixteen to eighteen buds according to the 
culture given it. As many as seven have op- 
ened at once, and five to seven show color.
