MIGHTY MONARCH (Butt) (M) Just about the tallest and strong- 
est of all the reds, with the possible exception of the new Mid- 
America. Opens 8 to 10 large rich crimson red florets on very 
tall, straight, sturdy spikes, extra long flowerheads. Mighty 
Monarch was one of the highlights of our trial garden last sum- 
mer; it should become very popular. 
L $2.00, M $1.25, S .75, Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.20, 25—$2.40 
MINSTREL (Palmer) (ML) A large lavender that can be good, al- 
though it is usually rather short and a little lacking in substance 
with us. Fair propagator but bulblets do not make much growth 
the first year usually. A spike of Minstrel won the Grand Cham- 
pionship at the Utah show last summer, showing that when well 
grown it can make some excellent spikes. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .60, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 50—$4.00 
MISS WISCONSIN (Krueger) (M) We still call this the finest all- 
purpose rose pink on the market. Deeper than Topflite, with 
well attached rounded florets, it is a fine florist variety. By not 
digging too early, giving bulbs plenty of time to mature, we 
have found it to be a good average bulblet producer. 7 to 9 large 
flowers open on a medium tall spike. A beautiful color that is a 
favorite with our florist customers. 
L .50, M .35, S .20, Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00 
MOUNTAIN GEM (Requa) (M) A large tall medium scarlet _red with 
MT. 
a faint light picotee edge around all petals. 6 or 7 round, well 
attached flowers open on a good spike. A reliable grower, good 
propagator, and a good bloomer from all sizes. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .45, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.75, 100—$6.00 
INDEX (Miller-Kaylor) (E) A western origination that is rap- 
idly gaining recognition over the country as a fine early cut- 
flower variety. Clear white with a real yellow throat. Opens 6 or 
7 large round plain petalled florets on a tall, slender, always 
straight spike. Reliable grower, fast propagator, a grand com- 
mercial. Is winning at the shows too—Grand Champ, West Vir- 
ginia 1947. 
L .20, M .15, S .10, Bulblets 25—.25, 100—.75, 1000—$5.00 
MYRNA FAY (N. H. Lines) (VE) An A-1 early commercial laven- 
der, and one that has done plenty of winning at the shows during 
the past two years. Sometimes flecks, as most lavenders do, but 
with us color is quite clear unless bloomed in very hot weather. 
An extremely heavy propagator, bulblets nearly all germinating 
and making large growth. Myrna Fay, like Huntress, is a de- 
scendant of Early Rose. We have never had a crooked spike of 
Myrna Fay, and it is uniformly tall. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.00, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$5.00, 
1000—$40.00 
MYSTERY— (Stinson-Perry Lee) (M) This is one of our favorite 
blotched varieties. An attractive pure pink with an unobtrusive 
cherry red blotch. 7 or 8 large, well placed, well attached flowers 
open on tall stems. A fine exhibition glad and we think one of the 
best Canadian varieties ever put out. Quite a good propagator. 
L 50, M .35, S .20, Bulblets 10—.35, 100—$2.80
