LADY JANE (406) (Lake) (’41) (Midseason) 
(Golden Measure x Belinde) X Maid of Orleans 
x Picardy) A lovely cream with yellow lip petals 
that is a first class commercial. Opens up to 
eight medium sized blooms on. tall straight 
stems. Did very well in dry weather last sum- 
mer. (L 3-25c; 10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 10-25c) 
(Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 
LADY LUCK (540) (H. H. Harris) (’44) (Mid- 
season) (Sport of Picardy) Won as best spike 
Recent Introductions at the Minnesota Show last 
summer. Lady Luck is a soft light pink with a 
large cream throat that approximates the shade 
of the older Lotus. Tall and stretchy, tho we 
had some short ones which may have been due 
to the summer’s trying weather. (L 1-40c; 10- 
$3.00) (M 1-30c; 10-$2.50) (S 1-20c; 10-$1.50) 
(Blbts. 4-25c; 10-50c; 160-$3.00) 
LANTANA (420) (Palmer) (Early) (’43) Picardy 
X (Premier Henry x Red Seedling) ... . Lan- 
tana is a beautiful vivid color of orange-salmon, 
shading to a golden throat; a flower that has 
instant color appeal and is a fine performer. 
Like Autumn Gold, it is short, but its other fine 
qualities are sure to make it a leading early cut 
flower variety. Very prolific. (L 3-25c; 10-70c) 
(M 10-40c) (S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 25c) 
LAVENDER AND GOLD (366) (Baerman) (’43) 
Queen of Bremen X (Sweetheart x Rosemarie 
Pfitzer) (Very Early) The longer you know 
Lavender and Gold, the more you appreciate its 
pastel daintiness. Anyone who likes the me- 
dium decoratives will certainly like this one. 
Open 5-7 frilled, yellow-throated lavender 
blooms on a tall, wiry, straight stem. Good 
grower and propagator. Excellent commercial. 
(L 2-30c; 160-$1.00) (M 10-50c) (S 10-35c) (Blbts. 
Pkg. 20c) 
LAVENDER PRINCE (466) (La Salle) (’44) (Mid- 
season) (King Arthur Seedling) The personality 
of Lavender Prince is similar to that of King 
Arthur of which it is a seedling. It is larger, 
taller and more husky but not as refined as the 
older favorite. One of the best lavenders of 
recent years and a welcome addition to an 
otherwise weak color. (L 1-30c; 10-$2.50) (M 
1-25c; 10-$2.00) (S 1-15c; 10-$1.25) (Blbts. 10- 
25c; 100-$2.00) 
LEADING LADY (506) (Johnston) (’41) (Midsea- 
season) (Sport of Picardy) One of the ten lead- 
ing glads and deserving of its rank. Fast be- 
coming the leading creamy white. Seven or 
eight carved ivory florets are neatly arranged 
on tall, willowy stems. (L 1-25c; 10-$2.00) (M 2- 
25c; 10-$1.00) (S 3-25c; 10-60c) (Blbts. Pkg. 35c) 
LEGEND (440) (Fischer) (’40) (Midseason) (Pic- 
ardy X Maid of Orleans) Broad massive Legend 
is a regular every year. The large recurved, 
light pink florets blend to a large white throat. 
Blooms exceptionally well from small bulbs. An 
excellent performer in every way except that it 
does not like the cool weather, just before frost. 
A best seller. (L 3-25c; 10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 
10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 
LEONA (462) (Pruitt) (’38) (Late) One of the best 
deep rose reds on the market; tall, straight, and 
wiry stemmed—qualities which make it a good 
cutter. Especially adept for late cutting. We 
had some nice ones just before frost. (L 3-25c; 
10-70c) (M 10-.40c) (S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 
LIPSTICK (441) (Balentine) (’41) (Midseason) 
(Picardy X Schwaben Girl) If you can’t afford 
Connecticut Yankee try Lipstick. Not as har- 
moniously composed or as generous in its out- 
line but certainly an excellent propagator. A 
flush of light pink with a dramatic rosy lip. 
Intriguing; melodramatic. Excellent doer. (L 1- 
25c; 10-$2.00) (M 1-15c; 10-$1.00) (S 2-20c; 10- 
80c) (Blbts. 15-25c; 100-$1.25)
