Our 1948 Vutroduction 
‘*BIKINI’’ 
424—-(Lins-Ruble) 
Navaho X Peggy Lou cross gave us this wonderful bright 
orange with a violet throat marking that blends in perfectly. 
The color is about the same as the orange flash that was set 
forth in the Atomic bomb explosions. Thus its name and 
the above photo. 
This tall grower with dark green foliage produces long flow- 
erheads of 20 to 24 buds that open 5 to 6 slightly ruffled, wide 
open, round florets, 4 42 to 5 inches across. Blooms in 90 days. 
Mr. Lins states he has never seen a crooked spike of this fast 
reproducer. Bulblets germinate easily. 
Bikini has never been to the shows but from its field perform- 
ance it will do its share of winning. A few large florists have 
seen this Glad and they think it is a grand color. 
Any size bulb $2.50 
Bulblets 10 for $2.50 (sold only with bulb order)
