beautiful shade of light chocolate with light overcast of 
orange. R.O. blotch. Well open, not hooded. Shows in 
the 490 A.O.C. class and if well grown will run over the 5%

ramrod stem, very strong attachment, excellent placement 
on large majority of spikes, 60 in., overall, 28 in. head, blts. 
near 100% germination. At last fall digging we dug 10 
large bulbs carefully and they averaged 96 bulblets each. 
GET THIS----Last spring the bulblets of Choctaw-- 
planted late--had little sprouts showing through the hulls 
in dry bags in our bulb house. We have spoken of this to a 
number of our older growers, none of whom have ever ex- 
perienced or heard of such blt. performance. 
Choctaw has been shown only four times, for all blue 
ribbons. Ohio State Sdlg. & R.I. show, first. Chagrin Falls, 
first. East Liverpool, first and sect. champion 1946. 
East Liverpool, first 1947. At Chagrin Falls and East 
Liverpool competing with open class. 
Heavy straight up dark green crinkly foliage with 12-13 
leaves, two inches across. Has been tested for several 
years and leaves no guess work as to its ability. We can 
assure you that this young Indian will do a lot of winning 
in the A.O.C. class. Picture on front cover.’ No.2, $4.00; 
No. 4, $3.00; No. 6, $2.00; Blts., each $0.40 or 10 for $3.50.

CHEYENNE 
Rep Lory X COMMANDER KOEHL 
(80 days in 1947)...Sdlg. No. 58-Z. Big wide open ruffled 
scarlet, a much improved Southern Drama. Not hooded. 
In size just inside the 500 class but not quite as large as 
Southern Drama with more open and good formal type, 
tall straight ramrod stem, strong attachment with seldom 
an off-faced floret. Many florists are using Southern 
Drama and Cheyenne should take its place as a show and 
cut flower and should do a lot of winning once it gets in the 
shows. Healthy dark green upright foliage. 9 to 10 open, 
20 buds with good stretch of flowerhead and ample cut 
stem, overall height 60 inches. Good blt. production of very 
high percentage germination. This one should please all.

screened over a 4 mesh to the inch screen.
