At The Last Minute 
As part of this catalog was being printed | had 
an opportunity to see some bulbs grown from bulb- 
lets of many of the very cream of the recent in- 
troductions. The two outstanding varieties of all of 
these new ones were Patrician and Redowa. The 
bulbs listed below were grown here in So. Calif. 
from bulblets. | am confident from all reports that 
both varieties will not only be top prize winners but 
also top commercials. 
PATRICIAN 566 (Scheer, ‘47) A beautiful med- 
ium lavender. Opens 7 recurved florets on a long 
flowerhead with 22 buds. Florets are 6-inches 
across and plants grow over 50-inches tall. It is 
a good cut flower as it opens to the tip when 
cut in bud. Foliage is a deep emerald green and 
it makes lots of bulblets which germinate almost 
100%. All bulbs and bulblets offered will be 
from stock grown from bulblets this season. 
Lg. $6.00 ea., 10 for $48.00; Med. $4.50 ea., 
10 for $36.00; Sm. $3.00 ea., 10 for $24.00; 
Bts. 50c ea., 10 for $4.00, 100 for $32.00 
REDOWA (Butt, ‘47) This is a bright scarlet red 
with a deeper red throat mark enhancing its 
beauty. Grows 5-feet tall with 7 to 9 florets open 
on a 28-inch flower head. Has. 18 to 20 buds. 
Florets are over 5-inches across. Judging from 
the way bulblets grow this may be the red every- 
one is looking for. Will make a top commercial 
as well as show flower. 
Any size bulb—$1.50 No bulblets this season
