1951 Descriptive List 17 

The plant grows up to 5 feet and over with a slender willowy but always straight stem 
and makes good commercial spikes from No. 4 and 5 bulbs. Opens 7 with 8 showing and a 
total of 19-292 buds. It has been O K’'d by a very critical florist who has used what few blooms 
were available. 
As for myself | shall grow it for cut flowers for the trade and for my personal enjoyment. It 
is a good propagator but the stock is still small. A variety of its quality and small starting stock 
should be introduced at $5.00. But | am putting it out at $3.00 each for any size bulbs. With 
each bulb you may have 10 bulblets for $3.00 extra. Bulblets not sold separately. 
FROM PAUL SAVELIEF 
Golden Dawn (Seedling No. 325) (410) (Early) Here is a yellow that is going places 
as a commercial and show flower. It is a lighter shade than Gold but 
| believe can beat it on the show table when well grown. It grows over 5 feet tall and has a 
head of 299-94 buds, something that is unusual in yellows. Yellows as a rule have been inclined 
to have short heads. It will open up to 10 florets and has opened 12. The stem is strong and 
wiry. It grows well producing plenty of bulblets that germinate nearly 100% 
Another thing uncommon in yellows is that it opens to the tip when cut. In the past yellows 
have been bad actors in this respect. 
The flower is-very pleasing being nicely ruffled and well placed and attached and up to 
5 inches in diameter. 
The bulbs are healthy and good keepers. 
Bulbs $2.00 each for any size. 1 bulb and 10 bulblets $4.00. 
Celeste (400) (65-75 days) Here is an 
— early white that | have not seen 
but Mr. Savelief the originator in whom | have 
the greatest confidence says it is one of the 
most pleasing glads he ever saw. It certainly 
looks good in the picture herewith. The 
plant grows about 41% feet tall with a flower 
head of about 30’’ and 22-94 buds. The 
usually well placed blooms are of the purest 
white and heavily ruffled as you might expect, 
it having Solveig in its ancestry. Blooms run to 
514” with usually 5-6 open tho sometimes as 
many as 9. It is very healthy. 
It’s a good propagator, the large bulblets 
often blooming. 
| am sure you will be well pleased with

faint feather on a cream ground in the throat. Celeste 
As the blooms open up the stem, the pink 
fades somewhat, but it still has the pink edge which makes it very attractive. Blooms are 5” 
diameter, heavily ruffled and with good texture and attachment and the stem is always tall ae
