G. dracocephalus—190— (Species) 
This one can be blamed on Mother Nature. Not 
exactly a freak of same, but certainly an oddity 
that will attract more than its share of attention. 
Florets are dark green with yellow green throats 
and are almost tubular, being barely an inch 
across. Easy to win smallest floret in show with 
this, and highly useful in fabricating exotic ar- 
rangements. You'll find this in very few lists, 
not because it’s unworthy but because of slow 
propagation. 
L, 25¢ 
*HYLAS—270— (Brown) 
A fine and dependable performer in the purple 
class. Wins consistently. Get this one for early 
bloom and Taurus for late. 
L. 10c; M. 2-15c; S. 4-15¢ 
INZA—267 
A very tall lavender with a deep rose blotch. Five 
to 6 open on 17 bud spike. 
L. 15¢ 
ITO—120— (Brown) 
Miniature orange and yellow bi-color, the yellow 
being in the throat. Early and distinct. A good 
prospect for “Smallest Floret” honors. 
L. 15¢ 
JINGLES—230— (Lins ’49) 
Here is a little glad that looked so good to me in 
its maiden year last summer that I have purchased 
half the stock from the originator. Up to now 
Nadia has been the only worthwhile light salmon 
extant. Now Nadia will have to get the kinks out 
of her back if she hopes to hold her own against 
Jingles. Jingles has a little something extra, too 
—a slight ruffle that adds charm and distinction 
to the pinkish salmon florets, 6 to 7 of which are 
open at once on a well balanced spike. Showmen 
who are on their toes must be sure to have this 
one. 
L. or M. 50c per bulb 
KEWPIE—150—(Brown ’30) 
A dainty little thing. Never more than 3 open, 
but it always attracts attention with its tiny red 
florets bordered with cream. Often takes “Small- 
est floret in Show” honors. 
L. 10ce; M. 2-15¢e; S. 4-15¢ 
LA ARGENTINA—222— (Clark ’28) 
Bright orange with a deep red blotch that lends 
zip. A flashy number. 
L. 10¢ 
LADY BUG—150—(Stancer °45) 
A dainty thing of reddish salmon with a large 
white throat. Opens 4 to 5 on 14 bud spike, which 
is good performance for a miniature. 
L. 35¢e; M. 25e 
I wish to thank you very much for the nice order and 
all the extras and overcount.—C.B., Waterville, Maine.
