SNOW FLURRY (Picardy Sport.) (Clark-Moses.) 
Clean, pure white, with very little cream; nicely ruffled, 
buds ivory, 18-20 buds. Blooms flat against the stem. Will 
not compete with Silver Wings or Leading Lady, as the 
bleoms are slightly smaller than either, bringing it definite- 
ly in the 400 class rather than 500. It is easily handled, as 
it has excellent attachment with wide open rather than 
hooded florets. Commercially it should be of great value. 
It has excellent growth habits, growing clean, with deep 
green foliage. It is a Picardy sport having changed size 
and habit of growth as well as color although a pink 
(Picardy) strip appears in the petal now and then, the 
same as other Picardy sports. Large bulbs, $1.00 
each; medium, 75c each; small, SOc each; 
bulblets, 10 for $1.00; 100 for $7.00.

COTILLION (sdig. 40642.) (Beacon x J. S. Bach.) 
(Butt-Moses.) Deep pink with a creamy yellow throat. 
Not an unusual color, but a very useful one, especially 
for the florist. What makes this variety most valuable is 
that it will open very easily 10 perfectly placed florets at 
once, often more. Tall grower, 55 inches, with 25-26 inch 
flower heads, and 18-20 buds. Slightly frilled florets 
about 514 inches across. A few spikes will come crooked 
like Beacon, but one spike is a real bouquet and will 
be difficult to top this for best spike in the show. Mid- 
season. Bulbs, any size, $3.00 each. No bulb- 
lets. 
A NEW MINIATURE 
We are proud io present a distinctly new Glad in 
Twinkles. This is a small-flowered miniature, with heavily 
ruffled florets of attractive form and color. 
It is not an overstatement to say that a basket of this 
miniature at the show in Binghamton, New York, was the 
center of attraction and literally “stole the show.” Every- 
one who saw it expressed a desire to purchase bulbs and on 
every side you could hear people saying that for the first 
time they had found a small-flowering variety which they 
really like and which was beautiful. 
First orders will receive the largest bulbs, but if we have 
to send smaller sizes, please remember that they bloom 
early, and you will get good bloom. It is a healthy grower 
and increases well. 
TWINKLES (Sdlg. 40371.) (Harlekin x Crinklette.) 
(Butt-Moses.) Dark orange, pink on the outer petals with 
a deep yellow center on which are reddish lines. A very 
attractive color. Early, deeply ruffled and of heavy sub- 
stance. Averages 36-38 inches in height with 16-18 inch 
flower heads. 17-18 buds of which 5-7 florets open at 
once, usually but not always well arranged. A fine garden 
variety as it is a sturdy grower and large bulbs give many 
spikes. This variety has created a sensation whenever it 
has been shown, and visitors to our gardens pick it out as 
their favorite. Bulbs, any size, $5.00 each. No 
bulblets.
