chart it is a light rose doree shading to scarlet 
petal tips with a large yellow blotch. Opens 
up to 8 with several more showing color. 
Going to be a very popular variety when 
better known. With me it does best from 
medium or large bulbs. 
Lady Jane (lake) (406) (Midseason) 
7 "5 e0ene0t Clear cream with yellow 
lip petals. General effect is light yellow. Large 
beautiful flower that makes one of the very 
best commercials. Didn’t sell very well last 
year but | don’t know why. It is an old timer 
but still one of the best. 
Lady Luck (Harris) (430) (Midseason) 
~~ Light pink sport of Picardy. 
Somewhat smaller but has many well placed 
blooms open. Has all the good qualities of 
Picardy and better color. 
Lady Marian (White) (466) A light 
lavender that should 
make a fine cut flower variety. Makes a tall 
strong plant with a lot of blooms open. But to 
have it at its best it should be opened inside 
where the color improves very much. 
Lady Wayne (Deam) (530) (Midsea- 
son) Large clear salmon 
pink shading to a slightly deeper throat. Opens 
8 wide open well placed flowers with strong 
attachment. Strong grower and propagator. 
Opens well when cut in tight bud and so 
should make a good shipper. When. this 
variety is better known | predict it will be a 
popular cut flower variety. 
Lake Placid (Wilson) (506) (Late mid- 
season) Cream with yel- 
low throat. Opens up to 8 or more 6” blooms 
with 19 total buds. Tall strong grower and 
ravishingly beautiful. This past fall | cut many 
blooms for our flower shop when blooms were 
scarce. It makes up wonderfully in sprays. | 
consider it one of the very best varieties for 
florist use. 
Lancaster (Palmer) (470) (Midseason) 
~ Clear dark purple with up 
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 fower market. 
Lantana (Palmer) (420) (Early) Orange 
shading thru orange salmon 
to a large golden throat. A bright vivid dis- 
tinctive variety. 7-9 blooms on a long head. 
But the stem is inclined to be a little short. 
La ramie (Wilson) (425) (Late) Very 
——— showy orange with darker 
blotch. The color is so deep it is almost a red. 
A neglected variety that when better known 
should be very popular. Opens many blooms 
on a good long head. Fine grower and prop- 
agator. Distinctive and very fine. 
Lavender and Gold (8cerman) 
Se CO aA 
One of the prettiest medium size lavenders. 
An ideal variety for home decoration and ar- 
rangements. Opens 5 or more on a tall slender 
wiry stem. 
Lavender Prince (loSalle) (466) 
[it iin ia! Distinct shade oF 
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 
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 (ohnston)(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 you 
might have. 
Leeuwenhorst (Salman) (560) Huge 
i) sienna. fallalighftrosesstightly 
tinted with lavender. One of the strongest 
growers and largest flowers | have seen. 
Should be a great commercial variety. Very 
easy grower and propagator.
