soft, creamy yellow | liked very much.”’

FROM ROGER ARNETT 
Nancy Classification 452. This is a commercial red that is claimed by the originator to be 
———_ the best cut flower red in existence. Opens 7 434’”’ blooms with 7 more showing 
color and a total of 18 buds. Grows about 52” tall with a 25” head. Always good placement 
and heavy propagator and very healthy. It is a clean smooth red shading to a more vivid tongue. 
Blooms well from all sizes and even bulblets and stands the heat well. Mr. Arnett claims that 
Nancy will produce more uniformly high quality spikes than any other variety. 
It has been tried in four trial grounds where it scored the highest and second highest of 
all varieties. | haven’t grown this myself but have faith in the originator who supplies the above 
facts in regard to the variety. It is a rather late bloomer, taking 91 days to bloom.

“| want to thank you for the 25 BURMA bulbs. The blooms can be classed as simply gor- 
geous. Out of the 2000 bulbs | ordered this year from you there was only one that wasn't true 
to form. One PICARDY was in the 250 MARGARET BEATON. That is a real record | think
