mal white in the medium size 
class. Opens 8 creamy white blooms with 6 
more showing color on a 20 bud spike. Tall 
strong plant. 
Mauvie Rose (Wesselman)(462)(Very 
early) Deep rose on the 
edge growing lighter toward the throat and 
blending into rose lavender. The color is un- 
usual. Personally | don’t care so much for it 
tho others do. But being so early and such a 
good easy grower it should make a good com- 
mercial. Produces an average number of large 
bulblets which grow easily and often bloom. 
Maxa (Pruitt) (530) (Early midseason) 
~~ This is buffy pink very near salmon. 
Opens 5-6 enormous wide open flaring blooms 
of good substance. Have had blooms over 8” 
across. A very tall grower so should be planted 
deep. Good propagator. 
Maxwelton (Baerman) (460) (Midsea- 
Vane Son) Lordessotttrose with 
diffused darker blotch. Somewhat like a rose 
Picardy. This is a relief in color from so many 
salmons. Should be a very popular commercial 
variety. 
Meg (Pruitt) (412) Clear medium yellow 
———— shading to darker lip. Ruffled and 
rolled and fluted petals. Tall strong grower

ments.

beautiful. Don’t miss it.

blooms with 4 more showing color on an 18 
bud spike that never crooks. Late. This goes in 
the classes between 480 and 490. It’s beautiful.

ia iM aim ienasecsOn) L1UGG. Very, 
tall plant. Opens 6-7 beautiful tall red blooms 
of heavy substance. Plant grows to 6 feet tall. 
Being so tall and with such a heavy head it 
should be planted deep to hold the heads 
erect. | like this very much. 
Minstrel (Palmer) (566) (Midseason) 
~— Huge lavender sometimes 
flecked darker. This is the largest lavender | 
know of and as beautiful as any. Has a very 
long head with 5-6 blooms open. But the stem 
is a little inclined to be short. However in 
spite of this it is a gorgeous variety and one 
that everyone should grow. Good breeder.
