planting. It made a huge spike with 6 inch florets, last- 
ed extra long in water and opened the very last bud. If 
I could have but one glad, this is it.”—Clarice Burdsall.

Black Panther (Lins 1943) 
THE LARGEST BLACK RED 
Glad experts in the U. S. A. and Canada, who try the leading varieties, agree 
this is the largest real black red. The plants are tall with long flower heads and 
very large black red, WIDE OPEN florets. We had many 6 inch and over in 1946 
from planting stock. Some dark varieties are poor propagators but we get good 
quantities of bulblets from even large bulbs of Black Panther. 
A large black red is needed in every collection. This one will fill the bill. 
Usually evokes Oh’s and Ah’s from those who like the dark ones. Blooms early mid- 
season.
