Easily our best cut-flower white. An occasional 
spike will be found that shows pink streaking in the 
florets. Plants are very strong and it is a 100% 
cutter. Production of bulblets is very heavy and 
their germination is near perfect. Makes a good 
percentage of large bulbs from bulblets the first year. 
Still winning heavily at the shows, it was Champion 
three spikes at this year’s N.E.G.S. show at Boston 
(1948).

good placement and firm attachment. The color 
contrast is very intense. Plant grows tall and it is 
a good producer of easily germinating bulblets, 
practically all of which bloom. An unusual variety, 
well named.

hot weather doesn't seem to bother it. It is a pleasure 
to be able to cut spikes like Spic and Span. A 
heavily winning variety at the shows, it has also 
made good commercially. Makes lots of bulblets that 
germinate and grow easily. It was 3 spike champion 
at this year’s Iowa show (1948).

Opens up to 7 florets on a long slender stem. Ranks 
at the top of the yellow class. Opens perfectly 
when cut in bud and is a very good keeper. Makes 
lots of large easily germinating bulblets. Some of 
the nicest bulbs we have grown were from Spot- 
light bulblets. Blooms well from small bulbs. A 
first class commercial.

salable spikes.

A combination of lavender and grey. Opens upto 8 10 12.00 8.00 6.00 1051.20 
ruffled, wide open blooms on a straight spike. Makes 100 ~=8.50 
a long flowerhead and grows medium tall. Bulblet 
production and germination is excellent and they 
bloom freely. Also makes good growth from bulb- 
lets. Stormy Weather is an A-l exhibition variety 
—a smoky that we are sure you will like. Well 
named. 
From Le Roy, Illinois— 
Many thanks for the nice bulbs you sent. I believe these are the nicest 1 have seen this 
year so far.
