Two Outstanding Recent Introductions 
PARTHIENA (Hitcheock - 1949) 
This striking deep mauve lavender is fast becoming the outstanding 
introduction of 1949. Opening 7-9 huge lightly ruffled blooms on a strong 
spike it presents an eye catching array of color. This year’s show record 
included Grand Champion single spike at Boston, Grand Champion vase at 
Binghampton, and at least five other blue ribbons in its class. 
The color is a deep mauve lavender with a darker throat tongue on a 
faint cream background. Field height 50” - 55”, flowerhead 24” - 28”, 7-9 
open, 5-8 showing color, size up to 614”, placement good, 85-90 days to bloom. 
Extremely healthy making 30-50 large bulblets per bulb that germinate 
almost entirely. With the florists it has been an immediate hit and it 
opens to the tip when cut in bud. 
We feel that Parthiena will soon be grown by everyone as soon as they 
see it both commercially and for the show table.

SKYWAY (Dr. Stevens - 1948) 
We feel that Skyway will soon become 
the leading early cut flower pink. Its tall 
easy growth, fine cutting qualities, and earli- 
ness has created a demand far in excess of 
the small stock. 
: Le Skyway is a beautiful clear light pink 
a ats a shading to a light creamy throat. It opens 
: 7-8 514” blooms of very good placement and 
attachment on a consistent and straight 65” spike. Its health and increase 
are excellent and it has proven a good shipper. On the show table Skyway 
will soon rank with the best in its class.
