PATROL (Palmer 7°46) 416 (EM). A rival of October Sunshine for color, 
this fine orange buff may be better for exhibition. Its 9 or 10 open florets 
of 4%-inch size are perfectly placed in a double row on very good spikes. 
A tall strong grower. A great prize winner, Patrol was Grand Champion 
of the Algona, Iowa show and 2nd Day Champ at Winnipeg last summer. 
L .35, M .25, S 2—.25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
PEGGY (West 46) 366 (M). A rather plainly garbed lavender lass, but a 
good cut flower in season. Up to 7 medium sized (about 4-inch) flowers 
open on nice tall spikes. Clear medium lavender with small darker feather. 
Fast increaser. 
M .50, S .25, Bulblets 10—.50, 100—$4.00. 
PENELOPE (Deam ’48) 466 (E). An early blooming dark mauve-lavender 
that is one of our favorites. The color which is quite rich is brightened 
even more by a creamy white center. An occasional person disapproves of 
this combination, but most garden visitors like it. Floret arrangement and 
attachment fair to good. A very unusual variety. 6-8 open. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .60, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00. 
PERDITA (Grout ’48) 313 (ML). Deep golden yellow, sometimes flushed 
darker giving an almost bronze yellow effect. The throat marking is quite 
prominent, of bright scarlet red. This combination reminds one somewhat 
of Manchu, altho the florets of Perdita are more ruffled and more closely 
and regularly spaced on the spike; up to 10 open. A fine show variety in 
its class. Medium stems, good flowerheads. Fine growing and propagating 
habits. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.25, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00, 100—$16.00. 
PERSIAN BEAUTY (Knieram 748) 586 (M). A bronze-gray smoky with 
distinctively veined petals. The color is about midway between the rosy 
bronze of R. B. and the lavender gray of Mistaya, and a good many visitors 
to our garden picked it out as the most attractive of the three. A 
very unusual and pleasing smoky. Large and tall. 
L .75, M .50, S .30, Bulblets 3—.20, 10—.60, 100—$4.50. 
PERSIAN RUG (Roberts ’50) 486 (M). See 1950 Introductions. 
PETER PAN (Butt 750). See 1950 Co-Introductions. 
PHANTOM BEAUTY (Bastian ’47) 440 (M). Very light pink with an 
undertone of pale lavender pink. Florets not very large, about 4% inches, 
but capable of opening 10 or more at a time. Some report short flowerheads; 
they are of quite good length here. Fine for exhibition or floral work. Good 
bulblet producer. Introduced at too high a price considering the large 
amount of stock propagated, it is being reduced in price too fast to make it 
profitable for those who invested in it early. We note that this year some 
growers are offering for less than our price, but we will add extra count 
on all orders for Phantom Beauty to offset any cut rates that may be 
made by others. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 5—.25, 10—.40, 100—$3.00. 
PHARAOH (Higgins-Gladland Acres 750). See 1950 Co-Introductions. 
POINCIANA (G. Snyder ’48) 552 (EM). A distinctive new color in glads, 
a rosy shade of red that is like no other. Florets are very large, heavily 
fluted with needlepoint form inherited from Glamis, one of its parents. 
Floret attachment slightly loose, but better than Malta in this respect. 
Tall grower, fine propagator. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .50, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.20, 100—$9.50.
