BEAUTY’S BLUSH (C, Fischer) 440 (E) 
As it grows here this variety is a very faint blush pink over white. We have 
seen it much pinker in other gardens, and we prefer it when it shows a 
little more color than it does for us. A fine strong grower with about 6 
large round well-placed florets open at a time. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00 
BENGASI (Cave-Graff) 530 (M) 
A wonderful pink for cool climates; inclined to crook in hot weather. We 
saw some marvelous Bengasi last summer grown by the originator, and 
we have grown a few almost as good. But it seems to do best if planted 
late for September bloom in the warmer climates. Florets are huge, color 
an attractive warm light pink. 
L $1.00, M .50, S .25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00 
BETTER TIMES (K. & M., Holland) 377 (EM) 
One of the best mid-blues. With us High Life grows taller, but Better 
Times is said to be a better performer under hot dry growing conditions. 
Stem is a little short here. Smooth medium to light blue violet with a 
small darker center, About 5 or 6 open. 
M 2—.20, S 3—.15, Bulblets 40—.25, 100—.50 
BETTY’S CHOICE (Harris) 460 (M) 
A beautiful color and a glad that is admired by everyone. Not a big glad, 
but a gorgeous shade of light orchid-pink with large creamy throat. Opens 
about 6 florets of 4-4% inch size on fairly tall willowy spikes. A much 
improved Coutts’ Orchid. Quite a good propagator. 
M .35, S .20, Bulblets 10—.25 
BIRCH RED (Rich) 552 (M) 
A fine clear smooth dark red, quite deep but not a black red, Has plenty 
of sparkle, and florists like it . Stem is tall, flowerhead not very stretchy, 
but this is apparently its only fault. Opens about 6 large round florets. A 
very rich shade of red unmatched by any other variety. A fine propagator 
and bulblets germinate well. 
L $2.00, M $1.25, S .75, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00 
BLACK CHERRY (Rich) 554 (M) 
Probably the best of the newer black reds with the possible exception of 
Mrs. R. G. Errey from Australia. We grew this varietly only from small 
bulbs and bulblets, so cannot say what its full size performance will be, 
but the color was very good, and it has been highly recommended by others 
who have grown it. 
M $3.00, S $2.00, Bulblets .40, 10—$3.00 
BLACK PANTHER. (Lins) 554 (E) 
This black red seems to be getting acclimated here; it was right up among 
the best in our last summer’s trial garden. We much prefer it to Paul 
Robeson, as the color is smoother and clearer and the sun did not seem to 
affect it in the least. Very large florets. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 5—.25 
BLUE BOY (Butt) 477 (M) 
A real advance in the blues. Medium violet blue with more true blue color- 
ing than most. The darker blue throat marking is also attractive, and the 
florets are larger than most of those in this color. Tall stem, 6 or more 
well attached flowers open at once. 
L $1.50 (1 large bulb and 12 bulblets for $3.00)
