it has shown none of the diseases so 
common to its parent. Spike, flower 
and habits identical with Prcardy, an 
occasional pink streak in petals being 
best proof it is a true sport. Co or creamy 
white, enough so that florists accept it 
as white. One can grow show spikes 
from small bulbs. It wlil be years be- 
fore enough Leading Iady can be grown 
to supply the unprecedented demana. 
Sharp drop in price this season will per- 
mit all to grow it. If T were limited to 
growing one glad, Leading Lady would 
be my choice.

LEMON ICH 412 (Jack) (Early) J.ight sul- 
phur yellow with deener throat. florets 
being beautifully ruffled and fluted, as 
will be noted from illustration in catalog. 
This variety is a rapid propa: ator and 
robust grower, spikes reaching 5 feet 
with 30 inch flowerheads. The florets 
are nearly 5% inches, spikes carry 29 
buds and open 6 to 7. <A good feature 
also of this new yellow is its earliness. 
M 1.60; S $1.00; Bts. .25 each; 10 for

LI.ONA 400 (Krueger) (Mid-season) A 
ruffled creamy white, similar to Myrna 
but far more reliab'e in its ha! its. Early 
mid-se2son, about 4 feet tall with spikes 
carrying 18 to 20 buds and opening 6 to 
8, four to four and one-half inch florets 
of good substance. A elad ethereal in its 
beauty, supreme for floral work. 
L 3 for .25; Bts. 100 for .75. 
MADEUINE BROWN 432 (Maier) (Mid-sea- 
son) Beautiful deen salmon. somewhat 
lighter in throat. Very long fl-°wer head 
with up to 20 buds of which 8 open at 
one time. Blooms are 5% inches in diam- 
eter and of excellent texture. Heavy 
producers of bu'blets which germinate 
perfeetly. Madeline Brown is very close 
to Pieardy in coloring but its commer- 
cial value lies in the fact that it does 
not produce a percentage of short heads, 
as has Picardy stocks in recent years.

MARGARET WOOD 570 (Marshall) A 
huge flowered deep mauve or m*uve-pur- 
ple of exceptional size and great heauty 
of color. For exhibition, it can win in 
the giant class, and for the home garden, 
it makes an unusual show in the garden. 
But I believe its greatest value lies in 
the strikingly beautiful and unusual 
floral work it makes. 
M .60; S .40; Bts. .15 ench; 10 for $1.00. 
MARGUERITE 532 (Pommert) (Early- 
medium) Very large nink with cream 
throat. Known as the “Watermelon 
Pink”. Appears to be more beautiful 
color than Ogarita and has more refine- 
ment. An older glad that still retains 
its popularity. 
L .153; M 2 for .20; Bts. 100 for .25. 
MARION PEAR 532 (Benedict) (Mid-sea- 
son) Large exhibition salmon that will 
hold 10 enormous wide open florets in 
perfect form and placement. I consid- 
er this one of the most beautiful in any 
list of 10. Propagation has been slow 
Lemon Ice and has hindered the popularity of this 
lovely glad, but it has been doing bet- 
ter of late.
