EUROPEAN ORIGINATIONS 
During the past few years we have imported stocks of the finest va- 
rieties from Europe. Many of these look extremely fine while others appear 
to offer no improvement over varieties we already list. Some of the newer 
and higher priced kinds we have only grown from bulblet stock and must 
withhold judgment for another year’s growing. However, all have been 
highly recommended by the leading European cataloguers. Among those we 
have seen enough of to recommend are Abu Hassen, Bloem Fontein, Bou- 
logne, Frulicht, High Life, Hollands Glory, Hopmans Glory, Junikloken, 
Lavendel Dream, Mansoer, Marie Antoinette, New Europe, Paul Rubens, 
Sophia, and Yellow Herald. We have used the introducer’s descriptions of 
the varieties we have not seen in bloom from large bulbs.
