GENGHIS KHAN - ( Beltane [Mrs. P. WW. Sisson x Comm. Koehl] X Picardy ) 
A large, heavily ruffled pink, rated by the experts as one of the leaders in the pink section. 
Some have called it the best Scheer variety. A strong grower, with tall, straight spikes and very 
long flowerhead, it has become the leading commercial pink in some sections. I have letters from 
growers saying that Genghis Khan is the best pink in their plantings.

be cut early and opened indoors in order to get the full color effect.

stance, good attachment, spacing, and placement.

PHOEBE - ( Seedling [ Mrs. P. W. Sisson X Coryphee ] X Picardy ) 
This is one that deserves to be very much better known. Phoebe is a large pink formal of 
most appealing tone. The older growers will remember the old Coryphee of Pfitzer’s: it was one 
of the loveliest pinks ever introduced and everyone adored its color - but it had one fatal fault 
which was that it was a hopeless crooker. In Phoebe you not only get the color of Coryphee, but 
all of the qualities that Coryphee lacked: much larger florets, with faultless attachment, placement, 
and spacing, a glad healthy in plant and bulb, with tall, straight spikes and fine long flowerheads, - 
a glad that you will love.
