20 NOWETA GARDENS 


UNBLOOMED SEEDLINGS 
Again we saved the bulblets from our unbloomed seedlings and planted them. 
They came from such parents as Rose O’ Day, Elizabeth the Queen, Red Charm, Legend, 
King Lear, White Gold, Melrose, Athlone, etc., as well as choice seedlings. Bulblets 
were from the lot from which we made our 1946 selections—These unbloomed seedlings 
were enthusiastically received last year. For your enjoyment: 
Sizes 4’s, 5’s and 6’s. Mixed sizes 10-$0.30; 100-$2.50; 1000-$20. 
BLOOMED SEEDLINGS 
From the 10 to 15 thousand seedlings we bloomed this year (each bulb different), 
we saved about 350 for further trial and selection. Many judges would have saved 
some we didn’t. Many fans were wild about some we didn’t save because we thought 
we had better ones. We are offering these for your perusal. Bulbs from parents such 
as Rose O’ Day, Elizabeth the Queen, White Gold, Van Gold, Red Charm, Black 
Diamond, King Lear, Arethusa, etc., as well as our choicest seedlings. Each one different. 
High crowned jumbos 10-$1.00. Wholesale 100-$7.00; 1000-360.
