PARTHIENA was trial garden tested and proved nationally before 
and after release in N.E.G.S., VN.A.G.C., Rhode Island State and Canadian 
Trial Gardens. 
PARTHIENA is a deep lavender or mauve and is in color class be- 
tween 566 and 570, in fact it is the forerunner of a 568 class. It is 
especially fine for florist work and combines well with white, cream or 
yellow. It is lightly ruffled, average field height 50 inches, with flower- 
head 23 to 24 inches, florets up to seven inches, total buds 19-20, open 
florets 6-9, buds in color 5-8, days to bloom 9), disease resistant, highly 
recommended for standing up under heat, seldom crooks or flecks, re- 
covers marvelously after travel, excellent cormel production and good 
germination, many cormels producing spikes. The stock raised this 
year from cormels, in spite of lack of rain or irrigation, contains a large 
percentage of number one and two bulbs. All spikes exhibited by me 
this summer were field grown without irrigation and very little rain. 
PARTHIENA can win. PARTHIENA can make profits.
