Rewi Fallu, one of its parents, It is a very vigor- 
ous grower with long head of 22” or more, car- 
rying 18 to 22 buds on a 60” strong, wiry spike 
under northern conditions. The 5” florets are 
closely attached, perfectly faced and of fine tex- 
ture. It is also a producer of many well germin- 
ating bulblets. We consider it outstanding in its 
class and highly recommend it for those who de- 
sire this color for home garden or commercial 
use. Home Achievement Award, Maine, 1947.

ducer of high germinating bulblets.

SPINDRIFT (1947): We feel at a loss to try to tell 
you about this variety, since we are continually 
getting glowing reports of its performance from 
growers in different sections of the country, giv- 
ing us additional new information about it. Spind- 
rift was Grand Champion at Boston in 1947, at 
Binghamton in 1948, and has won, in 1948, so 
far as reported to us, nine blue ribbons, and was 
second only once. It is in the large class, very
