FROM BIRCHVILLE GARDENS 
Robert Alan (Lorenz) “None more dependable. None more beautiful. A wonderful 
—_ brilliant, waxy yellow with no markings. 50-60” tall, 20-22 buds, with 8 
open. The large 514” florets are well placed on a long flowerhead. The plant has a rich glossy 
foliage with broad leaves. We consider Robert Alan the finest clear yellow, for all comparison 
will prove it first in quality, beauty and performance. In 1946 at its first showing offers of 
$100.00 were refused by the originator. It is a wonderful propagator. Judged by about 25 judges 
in 1948 it has received the highest possible rating from all of them. As far as | know this is the 
only glad receiving a double A rating (very superior) to date. Having been shown at Con- 
necticut and western Massachusetts show has received the following awards: 
Award of Commendation—Conn. 1946 
Award of Merit and double A rating—Conn. 1948 
Award of Merit and double A rating—Western Mass. 1948 
First in its color class at both shows.” 
Robert Alan would be a bargain at $100.00 per bulb. 
Above is the introducer's description. | have not seen it myself but have been hearing good 
things about it the past two years. 
Prices for 1949.—$10.00 each, any size. No bulblets. 
FROM L. W. BUTT 
(Originator’s descriptions.) 
Folklore (dig. 40582) (Rosemarie Pfitzer x Sdlg.) x (Picardy x Mayflower) Formal, early. 
“Deep orchid pink with a creamy white throat, a very appealing and attractive 
color. Medium-tall plants with straight spikes that bloom out uniformly and cut easily. 
Of the 18-20 buds, 7-8 open at once, regularly placed in a double row and 4144-5” in 
size. Received an approval award in the 1947 G.G.C. trial grounds and the 1948 reports 
indicate that Folklore is better than anything else in its color class. 
For exhibition purposes and florists’ use this variety is sincerely recommended. 
Bulbs any size $3.00 each; 12 for $30.00. 
Wayfa rer (dig. 39311) (Picardy x Sdlg.) x (Mibloom x Incense) Formal, midseason. This 
“splendid variety should have an appeal for both the amateur and commercial 
man as it is capable of producing big formal exhibition spikes and it has a most attractive color. 
To say that it is a light rose pink blending to a creamy white throat doesn’t sound unlike 
many others, but the color is so refined and unblemished it is most distinct and refreshing. 
The big formal spikes reach a height of 48-52” with 24” flowerheads of 18-20 buds. 
The 5” florets are strongly attached and well placed, 6-8 open at once. 
It was well received when tested at the G.G.C. trial grounds a few years ago and this 
year received 79 points in a trying season. 
Bulbs any size $3.00 each; 12 for $30.00.
