stripe on midrib of lower petals. Blooms

TUNIAS MAHOMET = 580 (Both) (Early 
Mid-season) This glad has a depth of 
color, unusual even for smokies, deep 
velvety plum rose with ovange scarlet 
in throat. Fidges run deeper color. Or- 
iginator calls it the most beautiful 
smoky, opin'ons vary. I have never been 
able to grow it with 7% inch blooms 
from bulblets but any size bulb produces 
immense spikes of bloom. I believe Tun- 
ias Mahomet is a most worthy glad in 
its class and probablv the best Mr. Both 
has given us from “Down Under’, ana 
should have no difficulty winning in 
the smoky class.
