FROM COSMOPOLITAN GARDENS 
King David (Carlson) (570) Deep purple with velvet red throat with a picotee edge 
————_ around the petals. Heavily winged, ruffled and fluted. 514” florets. Satin- 
like texture. Tall straight spikes having 22-24 buds with 10 open and 10 showing. The attach- 
ment is good and the placement just irregular enuf to make it artistic. | like them that way. Neither 
the blooms or bud sheathes burn in the sun. Fine propagator. It has won prizes galore. 
| have seen this only once at the Wisconsin Show last summer where there was a beautiful 
spike. But from those who have seen it growing | understand it is the last word in the large 
deep purple class. 
Bulbs any size $5.00 each. 1 bulb and 10 bulblets $10.00. Bulblets per pint $350.00. 
FROM CHAS. A. EVERETT 
Harriet (seedling 44-5-5) (370) (Mrs. Mark’s Memory x Burma) This is one of the classiest 
——__ purples | ever saw. It is a very beautiful, lively, lustrous tho deep clear purple, 
nicely ruffled and waved, tho sometimes coming with less waving. It shades to a somewhat 
deeper purple on the lip on which is a white line. It grows up to 41% feet with a 27” stem and 
30” head. It opens 7-8 4’’ blooms and has class in every line. Will make a grand addition to 
the 300 class. 
At a NEGS meeting in 1948 it scored 8914. At the Boston Show it won an Award of 
Merit, scoring 85. At the Maine Show in ‘50 it was rated “A-”’. 
It is worth $3.00-$5.00 if ever a glad was, but | am putting the price at $2.00 each for 
any size bulb. 
The germination of bbts. is good but the production is only fair. For that reason | shall have 
to charge $3.00 for each 10 bbts. ordered with a bulb. No bbts. sold separately. 
Fan (seedling 44-5-4) (466) Parentage same as Harriet. Color of this is a very nice lively 
watermelon rose with the midrib having a 14” stripe of a deeper rose or cerise. There 
is a small deeper rose blotch in the throat of same shade as midribs. The midrib stripe sets this 
variety apart as something entirely diferent from any other rose | have ever seen and makes it 
very attractive. 
The plant is about 5 feet tall with stiff stem and erect foliage and a 28” head. Opens.6-7 
5” florets. Placement and attachment are good and it opens to the tip like a thorobred. It seems 
to grow well in spite of adverse weather. As Bill Warner of Oregon would say “‘It’s a growing 
fool.’” Should make a fine cut flower variety. 
$2.00 each for any size bulb; 10 bulblets for $2.00 extra. Bots. not sold separately. 

“| want to tell you how pleased | was with the bulbs and the wonderful luck | had with 
blooming. | have just finished harvesting my bulbs and have never seen such fine, large, healthy 
corms. —Mary K. Wiseman, N. Y.
