best commercial and exhibition varieties in the rose color class.

round florets, slightly ruffled and fluted, of heavy texture, on nice straight medium tall spikes.

blossom pink. It is a new and deeper pink than Picardy. I would call it rose pink. It is a solid 
color without throat markings. It opens more than Picardy. 8-10, 6 inch florets open and all the 
buds show color. Makes a beautiful showing. One spike is a bouquet in itself. A dandy commer-

hamton 1947. It isa good commercial and a grand exhibition variety. [t is a vigorous grower, 
producing healthy bulbs and plenty of bulblets which germinate and grow easily. Destined to 
become one of the most popular all purpose varieties.
