OTHER POPULAR VARIETIES 
BENGASI (Cave-Graff ‘43) 
Bengasi is a beautiful La France pink. The color 
deepens toward the edge of the petals and blends into 
a white throat in which may be seen four rose lines 
which resemble a feather. 
It attains better than average height, 70 to 75 inches, 
when grown under normal field conditions. The flower 
head measures up to 36 inches. The six to six and one- 
half inch florets are wide open and firmly attached. 
There are 18 to 22 buds on a spike, with nine fully 
open and six showing color. The heavily ruffled flo- 
rets, six inches in width, are of excellent texture. 
Bengasi will bloom freely from any size bulb. Blooms 
from bulblets in our garden were excellent and much 
larger than those grown from bulblets of other va- 
rieties. When cut tight in bud, every floret will open 
to the tip. The buds grow close to the stem. 
A yellow green foliage is characteristic of the plant. 
Its general excellence and fine shipping qualities label 
it as an outstanding commercial. 
Large $5.00, Medium $4.00, Small $3.00. 
Bulblets .60c each, 10 for $5.00, 100 for $40.00. 
RED RASCAL (Graff 1945) 
A 1945 introduction which has done very well for itself 
considering that there were not many large bulbs out 
last scason. As its name implies, Red Rascal is a ruffled 
red, one shade darker than Intruder. There is a small 
white rib running down the center of the throat to the 
tip of the lower floret. Sometimes there are two of 
these. There is no flecking and the color reflexes are 
good. The florets measure over 52 inches across, 
seven to eight will open, with six showing color. The 
buds are firmly attached tc the stem. Placement and 
harmony are both excellent. The stem is medium heavy 
and straight. The flower head is 26-28 inches in length, 
the spike ranging up to 58 inches in height. There is no 
tendency toward disease of foliage or bulb. The flower 
dogs not burn in the sun and stands punishment and 
handling very well. As a s2edling it won the 3-spike 
championship at the Wisconsin State show in 1943. 
Red Rascal is a worthy introduction to the red class. 
It blooms in about 80-85 days. Power of opening is 
great when cut tight in the bud, and it gives promise 
of being a good commerciel. 
Large $5.00, Medium $4.00, Small $3.00. 
Bulblets .60 each, 10 for $5.00. 
SILVER WINGS (Ritsema-Graff ’45) 
Silver Wings needs no introduction to the glad fan 
as It was one of the most noteworthy glads this past 
season in the States and also in Canada. It has the 
splendid characteristics of its parent, Picardy, from 
which it was segregated in 1939. Its show record has 
been outstanding and its commercial qualities are un- 
limited. 
The spike stands 65 inches tall under cultural con- 
ditions. The stem is medium heavy and does not crook. 
The florets measure six inches across and are very 
ruffled, 
Silver Wings possesses an etherial beauty, which is 
enhanced by the glistening white sheen of its florets. 
What a beautiful sight to behold seven or eight of 
these charmingly ruffled florets open at one time 
with the remaining buds showing color. A total of 18 
to 20 buds open on a straight spike, every one open- 
ing to the very tip, a quality which Gives it appeal as 
one of the best commercials. It has been a winner 
Ff all of the shows and enjoys the supremacy of its 
class. va

INTRUDER (Graff 1944)

scarlets. It grows to a medium height of about 
55 inches, with 18 to 20 buds on a flower head 
ranging from 28 to 30 inches. The florets are 
large, measuring up to six inches with eight to 
nine open. When cut tight in bud there are

stand a lot of handling. The foliage is semi- 
drooping and of a yellow green color. The color 
is definitely scarlet with a small orange feather 
on the lower petal. It does not fleck and is 
symmetrical in form. The hotter the weather, 
the better it likes it and does not crook. We 
are not offering any bulblets this season.
