We have built up an enviable 
reputation for the generous count 
in filling orders with overcount, 
oversize and new varieties for

SPIC AND SPAN. (Carlson- 
Puerner) 
This tall deep pink—really it is 
a shade between pink and salmon, 
has created a sensation at shows 
whenever exhibited. Its tall spike 
will open 8 to 10—4% to 5 inch 
florets on a flowerhead, carrying 
20 to 22 buds. Spikes never crook. 
Its placement is near perfect. Me- 
dium sized bulbs only, $4.00. 
Bulblets 10 for $5.00.
