Lake Placid (Wilson) (506) (Late) 
Cream white with yellow 
throat. Opens up to 8 or more 6” blooms on a 
head of 19 buds. Tall strong grower and very 
beautiful. Fine for cut flowers late in the 
season. Beautifully ruffled. 
Lancaster (Palmer) (470) (Midseason) 
ark i = Clear darks purpleswithagp 
to 12 lightly waved blooms open on a tall 
straight spike. Requires good culture to have 
it at its best. But when well grown | don't 
know of any other purple that can touch it on 
the exhibition table. Where grown in quantity 
it has sold well in the cut flower market. 
Laramie (Wilson) (425) (Late) A bril- 
———_ liant showy orange red or 
reddish orange with dark blotch. Don’t know 
why this variety is not more popular as | con- 
sider it one of the very best. Opens a large 
head of bloom and is a fine grower and 
propagator. 
LaValle (Lines) (507) Light ivory cream 
with small orange throat feath- 
er. Very tall strong grower. Opens up 8 514” 
blooms at a time on a straight 18 bud spike. 
Very attractive and one of the best varieties 
on the market but not a fast propagator. 
Lavender Beauty (Kolb) (466) Clear 
ine oresOn light Vendor 
pink. Grows about 4 feet tall with a long 
flower head of 18-20 florets with 6 open and 
6 in color. Don’t know of anything nicer in a 
light lavender. Nicely ruffled and very at- 
tractive. Should make a fine cut flower variety. 
Lavender Lace (Fischer) (466) Very 
nice somewhat ruf- 
fled lavender with a large cream throat. Opens 
6 wide open florets on a 4-41% foot spike. 
Fine. propagator. Looks very good. 
Lavender Prince (loSalle) (466) 
fc es ae amaonar DIStincEsnaaen or 
lavender mauve. Opens 6 well placed blooms 
on a long head. Most lavenders are inclined 
to be short but this is a tall grower and is 

Champlain View Gardens 
headed for great popularity for commercial 
use. In Florida it is not subject to the leaf blight 
that attacks so many varieties down there. 
Leading Lady (Johnston) (506) (Mid- 
season) Cream white 
sport of Picardy. Large flowers and identical 
with Picardy in every way except for color. 
Tho it is rather creamy it passes on the market 
for white. One of the most popular whites on 
the market. Like most other white sports of 
Picardy it is inclined to revert to Picardy. We 
keep ours as clean as we can but shall put in 
extra count to make up for any reverts that may 
be in it. 
Leeuwenhorst (Salman) (560) Huge 
Sian eee Tl elightarosessligntly. 
tinted with lavender. One of the strongest 
growers and largest flowers | have seen. 
Should be a great commercial variety. Very 
easy grower and propagator. 
Lemon Ice (Jack) (410) (Early) Light 
sulphur yellow with darker 
throat. Heavily ruffled tall strong grower with 
long flower heads and 6-7 open. 
Leora (Ficht) (460) Light rose tinged 
————___ with mauve, white throat bordered 
with a mauve line. Medium height plant. Opens 
up to 7 nicely ruffled well formed blooms with 
the rest showing color. Always well placed. 
This variety appealed to me very much this last 
season and | think it should be a very popular 
florist’s variety. There is nothing else like it 
and it is very beautiful. A daintily colored 
rose lavender or lavender rose. 
Lila Wallace (Fairchild) (362) Here 
hae ISOne sor the -mostect 
tractive dark rose varieties | know of. Quite 
similar to Burma except in a smaller size. This 
was introduced a couple of years ago with 
small distribution. Has been held off the 
market this past year in order to build up 
stock as the demand for it is bound to be tre- 
mendous. Will make a grand show variety and 
one that every home gardener must have. 
Beautifully ruffled and fluted with several 
“The bulb collection we sent for last spring sure were grand.”
