One of the pleasant surprises of the season was Tivoli with the much needed pink 
color like that of the older Coryphee, a beautiful warm toned pure pink. The bloom here 
was from planting stock, hence its large bulb bloom measurements are not known. 
TEXAS (Buchannan-Bork ‘47) 500

ising commercial. Its color is creamy white with a creamy center. The florets are of giant 
proportions, and good attachment. It is a tall variety.

ance, and its early bloom season make it a great commercial. The number of open spikes 
will not exceed the crooks of other commercials in number.
