FROM ARTHUR STUBBS 
Salamanca (590) Large light smoky buff with coppery cerise feather. 16-18 buds 
—~_ with 6 open and 8 showing. This is a different smoky, one that not only will 
please the lovers of smokies but will prove useful as a cut flower for florist use. In fact florists 
near the originator have approved it. It has the large tall free growing type of Picardy. It is 
one of the very few seedlings in my trial garden last year that | gave 4 stars. | am sure this 
will become very popular. 
Any size bulb $2.00. 1 bulb and 10 bulblets $4.00. 
FROM H. TARRANT 
May Tarrant (562) (Myrna x Glamis) Here is a variety on which | have heard fine 
——__~ reports from those who have seen it. It is a deep rose, almost a cherry 
red with a creamy white throat. It grows over 41% feet tall, in fact Mr. Tarrant has had some 
over 514 feet. But 55 inches is about the average under ordinary growing conditions. It has a 
long flower head with a 20 bud spike of which 7-8 6”” blooms are open at a time with 6-8 more 
in color. ' 
It is a grand show flower having won a lot of firsts in the past four years and this past year 
out of 8 entries at the Vancouver Show and the Pacific National Exhibition it won 6 firsts and 
2 seconds. 
As a commercial it is tops having a very fine color, slender straight stem that never crooks 
and it opens well in water to the last bud. It is a very good propagator but due to lack of room 
Mr. Tarrant planted only a few bulblets this past year. 
Considering the small amount of stock it should be introduced at $5.00 per bulb at least. 
But | like to put new ones out as low as possible so have set the price at $3.00 each. With each 
bulb you may have 10 bulblets for $3.00 extra. Bulblets not sold separately. 
FROM TORRIE—FLAD 
Edgewood (460) Very tall rose of medium shade with up to 8 blooms open on a 20 bud 
spike. There is a rose lavender feather in the throat. Lightly ruffled. | haven't 
grown this myself but hear it is very nice. Good propagator and a commercial prospect. 
Price each bulb: large $5.00; medium $4.00; small $3.00; 10 bulblets $5.00. 
FROM PASQUALE VASATURO 
Orchis (466) (Midseason) (Myrna x King Lear) This is a lavender that is diferent from 
~~~ anything | have seen before. It is deep in color shading to a deep throat and with 
a silvery caste over the whole bloom that makes it sparkle and that gives it a unique and pleas- 
ing appearance different from any other variety | have ever seen. 
It grows 4146 feet or taller with a 22” head of 20 or more buds of which 6 are open. Tex- 
ture, placement and attachment are good and the stem is always straight. It’s a good propagator. 
Mr. Vasaturo grows many fine varieties but he says that for the past two years Orchis has 
been the most popular variety with visitors to his garden. 
For the small amount of stock available the price should be at least $5.00 per bulb but 
| am putting it at $2.00 as | want as many as possible to try it. 

“The glads were the finest | have seen. | bought some 80 varieties and had a continuous 
thrill for 21% months.” —H. R. Ritchey, Okla.
