NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1948 
SIBONEY (Allen) (566) 90 
Here is the lavender glad that we have been looking for! It is a clear medium 
lavender self color blending a little deeper in the throat. Opens 8 to 10 heavily ruffled 
6” to 7” blooms on a 5’ to 514’ spike. We have yet to see a misplaced floret or a crooked 
stem among those we have grown. Florets are heavily textured, foliage a husky deep 
green, and propagation above average. Spikes have been exhibited at 7 shows winning 
6 first prizes and 12 special prizes, including 5 grand championships. This was shown as 
seedling O-451 often referred to as Allen’s Lavender. Introductory price is very low 
considering the still small stock. 
Any size bulb $5 — Bulblets will be sold only in conjunction with bulbs. 
1 bulb and ten bulblets for $10. 
SKYWAY (Dr. Stevens) 70 
We are introducing Skyway as an unusually fine early commercial. Color is a very 
clear light pink shading to a cream throat. Opens 7 or more 514” blooms on a tall 
straight wiry spike. Propagation is very good and it makes healthy bulbs. Field height 
is 60” with a 30” flowerhead. Very consistent and strong growing. Has been shown at 
three shows with the following results: Connecticut — Award of merit and best three 
spikes. New York—Award of merit. New Jersey—A rating. | 
Due to an extremely small stock the introductory price must be quite high. 
Any size bulb $10 — Bulblets sold only in conjunction with bulbs. 
1 bulb and 10 bulblets for $20.

DOROTHY ARMSTRONG (Beardmore)

flower when more widely grown. A ruffled medium 
purple that is a 100% cutter and stands heat very 
well. Opens 8 wide open 4%” blooms on a tall 
graceful wiry spike. Flower head quite long.

. gator. Has been shown at two shows, Connecticut
