Texas 
(Buchanan) 
Included in the list of best introductions for 1947 will be 
found this glorious new white, coming from the gardens of 
_George Buchanan, a New Jersey hybridist. As its blooming 
season is only 70 days, ‘‘Texas” will beat Maid of Orleans on 
the market by nearly two weeks. “Texas” has won seedling 
awards, and best vase of 6 spikes in New York shows. Has 
been thoroughly tested for several years, and has been re- 
garded as an exhibition white delux, The accompaning photo 
of 6 inch wide open, waxy white florets will indicate its flor- 
escent possibilities. Is capable of opening up to 9 under fa- 
vorable conditions. Grows to a height of 55 inches in the 
field, with a flower head of 28-30 inches. Total of 19 buds, 
and will open to the tip. 
“Texas” has already proved itself to be one of the com- 
mercial finds of the year, as the following will substantiate: 
When “Texas” was on display as a seedling, a large order of 
bulbs was sent to a large Florida cut-flower grower. This 
same grower has recently placed a large re-order for fall 1947 
delivery. Thus indicating that “Texas” has made good with 
a BANG as a COMMERCIAL WHITE. Because of the above 
Florida order, the entire present crop of bulblets will be re- 
tained by the originator. The following introductory prices 
can only be considered as the best investment of the year for 
an early commercial white. 
“Texas” has never been shown in. the mid-west, but in- 
formation that we have received is an intimation that it will 
meet any competition and emerge the winner of the blue 
ribbon. 
Everybody is looking for an early white, and when 
TEXAS becomes better known to the cut flower industry, 
stock will become very difficult to obtain. 
Each: Large, $2.00; Medium, $1.50; Small, $1.00. 
Per 10—10 for the price of 8.
