tall. This looks like one of the very best early 
cut flower reds.

[a son) Glistening medium, red 
of a distinctive shade blending to a slightly 
darker throat. Opens 8-10 or more always 
well placed blooms with very firm attachment. 
Tall straight slender spikes. This was wonder- 
fully fine with me this past season and | con- 
sider it one of the most outstanding reds both 
for exhibition and cut flower use. Different 
from anything else. Makes a beautiful clean 
dark red bulb. 
Florence Nightingale (Harris)

(Mid-season) Opens 6-8, well placed ruffled 
blooms of heavy texture on a flower head of 
21 buds. Grows up to 5% feet or taller. This 
variety has been very well received by the 
growers and looks like one of the very best 
whites on the market. Has no Picardy blood in 
it which may or may not be a recommendation. 
But it will not revert like the Picardy sports. A 
top notcher.

with a huge head of bloom. Opens up to 12

bouquet in itself,

Fort Garry (Gloss) (452) (47) (Late

red, lightened by a slightly lighter shade on 
the midribs, but practically a self color. Opens 
7-8 slightly waved 5” blooms on a 20 bud 
head. Strong grower. Blooms have heavy tex- 
ture and good placement. There is a big de- 
mand for a red of this shade which is about 
the color of the old Rewi Fallu. Looks like the 
variety to replace Fallu which has gone bad 
in many places. Fine cut flower variety. Heavy 
propagator. Makes nice clean bulbs.
