gasi will open 8 to 10 flowers of 6 to 6% 
inch diameter. with 6 to 8 more in color, 
Bengasi is a “must have” with exhib- 
itors. I have the finest bulbs of this 
variety this season that I have ever 
harvested in my three years of growing 
it. Bengasi is an average propagator, 
bulblets are the first to come up each 
year.

BIG BOY (Cave) Greenish cream, flushed 
rose, with rose feather. Grows nearly 
6 ft. high. Not the most beautiful color 
but valuable for its long flower head 
for exhibtors and hybridizers. 
S 2 for .20; Bts. 10 for .20. 
BIRCH RED (Rich) The large pure deep 
red growers have been looking for. Its 
sparkling beauty, purity of color, habits 
and vigorous growth place it in a class 
alone. Has been winning prominently 
at Eastern shows.

BLUE LAGOON (Snyder) Medium depth of 
blue, almost self, shades lighter in up- 
per thraot and slightly deeper on lower 
throat petal. Tall, straight grower, 60 
inches high; 4% to 5 inch wide open 
blooms of excellent texture, opening 6 
to 8 on a 26 inch flowerhead. Excellent 
propagator and germinator. One fault 
of this variety is that under very wet 
conditions, it is apt to stretch its flower 
head, with blooms placed too far apart. 
However, it has excellent color value.

BUCKEYE BRONZE (Wilson) Formerly

Wilson varieties.

BURMA (Palmer) Favorite among the. deep 
rose reds, won at Wisconsin in 1944 for 
most beautiful spike. A very deep rose, 
wide open, heavily ruffled and with heavy 
texture. Practically every bud will show 
color when first flower opens. One that 
will be popular for the home _ garden, 
commercial grower and exhibitors for 
years to come.
