GOLDEN STATE (512) Wheeler ‘42 (90) 
Medium yellow with a small pink feather in the 
throat. Opens up to 10 florets on a tall straight spike. 
It is a good grower and it propagates well. Bulblets 
are a little slow in germinating. Makes a good cut- 
flower variety. 
HEART’S DESIRE (540) Fiedler ‘48 (Midseason) 
A light pink, shading into white with a pastel yellow 
throat. Opens up to 8 heavily ruffled giant florets 
that open wide and are beautifully placed on a tall 
spike. Opens to the tip and is a good keeper. It is 
a fast propagator and the bulblets are strong grow- 
ers. I would rate Heart's Desire near the very top 
of our entire list and it is sure to be heard from on 
the show table. Commercial possibilities are great. 
It received the award of ‘‘Best Recent Introduction” 
at the International Show at Binghamton this year 
(1948).
