Holloway‘s Dream Garden —2— Henry, Nebraska 


“1948 INTRODUCTIONS — No Discount” 
ADORATION (Klein) (4208) (Prelude X Zauberflote) (X Picardy). A “new” color 
being a pink orchid with creamy throat, a perfect blend. Beautifully colored, 
early tall husky grower and 7 perfectly placed 5” florets open at once. Bulb- 
lets make mostly cutable spikes, considered Mr. Klein’s best origination and 
should be very popular with florists. 
Priced: Any size bulb $3.00. No bulblets. 
BLUE BOY (Butt) (Sdlg.. 37173) (Josef Haydn X Blue Sdlg.) (Joyful X Triumph)— 
Deep blue violet with deeper throat. A very fine and attractive color. It is 
not a tall grower about 43”, although flower heads are of good length 23”-24” 
carrying 18-20 buds. Florets about 5” across with 6-7 open, well placed. This 
is a new color and will be hard to beat for florists use. 
Priced: Any size bulb $3.00. No bulblets. 
BLACK CHERRY (Rich) (Midnight Red X Arabella) (X Rich Red)—Giant black 
red which grows 50 inches or more tall. Opens 9 giant blooms on a spike 
with up to 20 buds. Does not burn. Prolific producer of bulblets which 
germinate. Has won many awards as a seedling and without doubt, the last 
word in black reds. 
Priced: Any size bulb $4.00. Bulblets 1 for $.50, 10 for $4.00. 
CLEO (Youmans)—One of the attractions at the International show held at Bing- 
hampton, N. Y. this year. A new shade of soft pink with buff undertones, a 
scarlet blotch overlaying the lower petal. The plant grows to a height of 
59 inches with a 27 inch flower head carrying 20 buds. Eight or more heavily 
ruffled 5 inch florets of chamois like texture open on a good stiff stem, with 
four buds showing color. The florets are perfect and formal in placement and 
its resistance to handling should make it excellent for shipping. Both germina- 
tion and propogation are good. 
Priced: L. $5.00; M. $5.00; S. $3.00. One L. and 10 bublets for $10.00. Bulblets 
not sold separately. 
COTILLION (Butt) (Sdlg. 40642) (Beacon X J. S. Bach)—Deep pink with a creamy 
yellow throat. Not an unusual color but a very useful one, especially for the 
florist. What makes this variety valuable is that it will open very easily 10 
perfectly placed florets at once, often more. Tall grower, 55 inches, with 25”-26” 
flower heads, and 18-20 buds. Slightly frilled florets about 5%” across. A few 
spikes will come crooked like Beacon, but one spike is a real bouquet and it will 
be difficult to top this for the best spike in the show. Midseason. 
Priced: Any size bulb $3.00. No bulblets. 
EUREKA (Fairweather)—Will compete with all so called white sports of Picardy, 
identical in habits, 5 feet tall, opens 8 or more 51%” florets. Bulbs do not split, 
heavy propagator and considered a top commercial white as well as show flower. 
Priced: L. $3.00; M. $2.50. Bulblets 10 for $3.50. 
GOLD MEDAL (F Beardmore-Krueger) (Sdlg. 42-06) (Originator’s description).—A 
giant glad in the yellow color class is startling news, and Gold Medal is an appro- 
priate name for the first representative of such size in this color group. Gold 
Meda! is in my opinion, a yellow with buff tones particularly in the upper throat 
area, and petal edges. Some people may differ and wish to classify its color as 
buff. I am certain that no difference of opinion will exist as to its beauty, for 
the giant florets, 544” to 64%”, with their heavy substance and fine ruffling, when 
grouped in 6 to 8 open clusters on a spike, make it a truly beautiful glad, one that 
is easily remembered. The flower head attains a length of 20 to 24 inches on a 
long stem. The plants grow to a height of 48” and the spike towers up to 65” 
or more. Gold Medal is not perfect, for a small percentage of misplaced florets 
result, and a few crooks out of a hundred may be expected. The record of Gold 
Medal on the show table speaks for its quality, winning high honors’ wherever 
shown and scoring 87 at St. Paul in 47. 
Priced: L. $5.00; M. $4.00; S. $3.00. No bulblets. 
HEARTS DESIRE (Fiedler-Puerner) A large light pink, shading into white with a 
pastel yellow throat; it has a prominent mid rib and wide open florets which mea- 
sure 5% to 6 inches in width with six to seven open. An average of 20 buds 
will be counted on a tall spike of approximately sixty inches. All buds will open 
in water. The upright deep green foliage is of average height. Its parents, 
Rose Marie Pfitzer and Picardy, contributed to its ruffling. The bulbs are 
healthy, producing an average number of bulblets, which germinate easily. A 
pleasing addition to your garden. 
Priced: L. $4.00; M. $3.50; S. $3.00. Large bulb and 10 bulblets $8.00.
