7 to 8 flat saucer-like florets are neatly arranged on a tall 18 to 20 bud spike. Bulblets 
produce spikes comparable to those from small bulbs. Probably Mr. Fischer’s best 
introduction to date. L .20; M .15; S 2 for .20; Blbts. 10 for .20; 100 for $1.50 
BENGASI 530 (Cave) (Mid-season) Bengasi was a sensation when first introduced but.. . 
must be grown in cool climate to produce straight spikes. It should be planted late 
for best results. Color is a beautiful LaFrance pink with white throat and color deep- 
ening near edges. It increases well and bulblets are the first to come up each year. 
Foliage shows a chlorophyll deficiency but it still makes healthy bulbs.. I have seen = 
many lovely straight spikes of Bengasi this season.
