HERE THEY ARE — SENSATIONS OF 1949 SEASON 
Distribution of these varieties was limited a year ago, because of limited stocks. Supply is somewhat im- 
proved, but still too short to permit unlimited sale. A tip to small growers; get your start in these varieties this 
year, as stocks will not be available for release to large growers for two years. They will be widely grown. 
We are headquarters for all releases of Mr. N. H. Lines, and have accepted the responsibility of advertising 
and marketing all varieties. 
Have you been reading variety reports? Check them closely and you will find LA VALLE, CHINOOK, 
and NELLIE LOU to be among the ten best introductions of 1949. 
LA VALLE (Lines—49)—A new leader in the 507 class. Light ivory cream with small orange throat marks. 
Consistantly grows five feet tall. Opens eight 51% inch florets. Extremely healthy and fine propagator. Tex- 
ture is very heavy with florets tied tight to the spike. With commercial culture, LA VALLE is very consistant 
and will become one of our best cutters. With exhibition culture, LA VALLE is the outstanding variety in 
its re class. Equal in performance to the finest varieties on the market. Here is a variety that can thrive 
in a desert. 
Any size bulb $3.00. Bulblets 10 for $2.00 with each bulb. 
Dr. J. A. Cason, Tenn., reports: La Valle is simply stunning; if it has as good health as appears at first trial, it 
is probably the best variety to appear in this color class, 
Sidney Mode, Canada, reports: I could do some winning with LA VALLE if I had sufficient stock. 
Chas. Larus reports: A very outstanding new glad, possibly the best of 1949 introductions. 
O. M. Farrington, Kentucky, reports: The three best in by test plot were LA VALLE, Nancy and White Chal- 
lenge. LA VALLE was the best of the new introductions. It took the hot humid weather and grew shoulder 
high. It isa good glad, and by far the best I’ve seen in that color. 
CHINOOK (Lines—49)—One of the giants of the glad world. A pure tich, clear salmon with no markings 
of any kind. Grows nearly six feet tall; always straight. Opens nine 6 inch florets, with plenty more in color. 30 
inch flower head. Holds its size to the last bud. Propagation very good. Extra good keeper. Class 532. Mr. 
Lines places CHINOOK at the head of the list, but we give that honor to LA VALLE, because of its utility. 
Any size bulb $3.00. Bulblets 10 for $2.00 with each bulb. 
Don Henderson, Iowa, reports: One bulb gave me two fine spikes. Both were exhibited at state glad show 
at Waterloo. One placed first in its color class; the other second in recent introductions. Everyone was im- 
pressed by clarity of its color. 
Dr. Cason reports: Chinook was the most robust grower in my entire patch. 
C. Wesselman, Canada, reports: My what a glad. Sensational. Height 60 inches. Head 30 inches. Florets 
7 inches. 9 open. 24 buds. No sign of wilt on our hotest days. 
NELLIE LOU (Lines—49)—Almost a true flesh pink with small strawberry throat mark. Grows 5% feet 
tall, always straight. Opens up to ten 51% inch florets on a 30 inch flower head. Excellent keeper and shipper. 
Can take the bad weather and still make good. Not just another pink, and you will agree. Can win in any 
competition. 
Any size bulb $3.00. Bulblets 10 for $2.00 with each bulb. 
Sidney Mode, Canada, reports: One of my prize winners. Was not affected by our severe drought and heat. 
Ray Koenig, Iowa, reports: Grew 70 inches tall in the field. Entered state glad show at Waterloo. Won first 
in its class, also longest flower head in the show. 32% inches. Also cut another good spike from the same 
bulb. 
BUFF QUEEN (Lines—50)—Our candidate for next years best introduction, and we predict that it will make 
the top ten. A very rich orange buff with almost no markings. Grown 51 feet tall, and will hold its florets 
open in the field for days without damage. Opens 10 or more 6 inch florets on an always straight spike. Tex- 
ture is very heavy, and very good propagation. Perfect health. 
Any size bulb $5.00. No bulblets this year. 
ROSE PLUME (Lines)—Here is a complete break in color. Nothing like it. A very soft velvety rose that 
leans slightly to the red side of rose. No markings of any kind, but a little lighter in the throat. Will open 10, 
with all the rest in color. 5% inch florets on an 18 bud spike. Bulblet production and germination is good. 
Early bloomer. 
Any size bulb $3.00. Bulblets 10 for $2.00 with each bulb. 
Bruce Collins says this is one of the finest glads ever introduced, as it grows for him. 
KEEFER (Lines) —478 class. Here is a mighty interesting deep blue, bordering slightly on the purple side. 
We believe that KEEFER is the largest of the blues. For exhibition, it is tops in its color. Almost an indigo 
blue, and just like velvet. For us, it has been flecking in hot weather to give a marbling effect. Will open up 
to 12 large florets, with the unopened buds adding greatly to its beauty. 
Large $2.00; 3 for $5.00. Med. $1.50; 3 for $4.00. Small $1.00; 4 for $3.00. Bulblets 10 for $1.50. 
DIADEM (Lines)—This beautiful two toned rose is fast becoming a favorite with the florists. Quite similar 
to the color of old Oregon Rose, but with a much better spike. Will open ten 5% inch florets on an 18 bud 
spike. Mildly fragrant when cut and opened indoors. 78 days. Good keeper. Fine for hybridizing. 
Large $2.00. M-$1.50. 4-$5.00. 
MYRNA FAY (Lines)—-Mr. Lines first release in 1945, and has been accepted as a reliable cut flower Javen- 
der. Very early. Opens nine 5 inch florets on a long spike. 100% cutter. 
Large 50c, 10 for $4.00. Medium 30c, 10 for $2.40.
