Per Large Medium Small 
Variety and Description 
ABU HASSAN (hollana-47) 378-77 
Dark violet-blue about the color of old Pelegrina. Larger 
flowers, straight strong stems. A very popular variety. 
ALL GLORY (tcon-46) 423-70 
A large ruffled tangerine-orange with a royal purple blotch. 
Startling and attractive. 6-10 open. Good grower even from 
small bulbs. 
ALPINE (paimer-44) 300-75 
Very fine medium sized, ruffled creamy white. More class 
and refinement than most whites. Excellent for arrange- 
ments in the home. 
ANNAMAE (Pommert-40) 400-70 
Very early pure white, not a trace of other color in the 
bloom. A good commercial and a heavy producer of bulblets 
that grow readily. 
ATHENE (xunhn-49) 400-75 
Nearly a true white shading to a cream throat. 50-54 inches 
tall, 20-22 buds, 27-inch flower head. Never crooks and has 
a tough petal texture that never wilts in hot winds. Its per- 
fect formal placement and number open make it an extra 
choice white. 
AUREOLE (Pruitt-43) 410-80 
Richly ruffled medium yellow of unusual character and dis- 
tinction. Exceptionally heavy substance. This is destined 
to become a favorite of the connoisseur. 
BEAUTY’S BLUSH (Fischer-46) 540-85 
Cool, soft, blushing pink with lots of sparkle. It stands heat 
well. 7-8 flat, 5-inch, saucer-like florets on a tall, 18-20 bud 
spike. Healthy and disease desistant. 
BENJAMIN BRITTON ik. & m.-43) 470-93 
One of the best of the new Holland introductions. This va- 
riety did especially well here this season. It is a very deep 
shade of lavender with a white stripe. An unusual shade 
and very attractive. 
BETTY’S CHOICE (narris-45) 540-100 
Nicely ruffled rosy mauve with cream blotch. Petals edged 
cream. 6-8 open on a long flower head. A pleasing and 
different color combination. 
BIG TOP (rich-42) 541-75 
Really immense in size. Light pink with small carmine 
feather. It will open 7 on a 20-bud spike. Blooms have been

Smooth, pure medium red with no marking. Excellent tex- 
ture, stands heat well. Opens from tight bud. Will open 
7 on a 19-inch flower head. Excellent form.
