ZEB 
Zeb: Has attracted much attention in the garden for three or four years. It is a 
very tall straight growing Glad, without crooks, very good placement, dark green foli- 
age, about six to seven four inch florets, ruffled, open on a twenty-six to twenty-eight 
bud spike. Its color is white with feathery purple blotches on lower petals, and when 
wide open, has a beautiful lavender cast all over, which gives it a marked distinction. 
A good propagator and germinates well. It is quite early, blooms in about seventy-two 
to seventy-five days, stands up well in hot weather, and will make an excellent commer- 
cial. 
$5.00 each, large and medium—no small or bulblets this year.
