DESCRIPTIVE LIST OF RECENT INTRODUCTIONS 
WHITE* WHITE CHRISTMAS gave us our most intense ruffling, and is a 
must for the exhibitionist, our finest new white. TEXAS is pure, 
tall, and opens nine, should make a fine commercial. WHITE 
CHALLENGE with its delicate rose blotch does well from all size 
bulbs. We rank it with Spic and Span, as the best to take ribbons 
with. We can still win in this strong class with FAIR ANGEL. 
SILVER WINGS doesn't do for us, what it does for some. the DOWN
