PAUL ROBESON—454— (Cave ’43) 
A deep red with a sort of smoky cast, unlike any 
other variety. Tall spikes are made up of 6-8 such 
florets open at once. A constant winner in its 
class, and for me a most successful seed parent. 
Too bad they hung this name on such a good glad. 
L. 60c; M. 50c; S. 25c 
PHANTOM BEAUTY—440— (Bastian ’47) 
A variety most appropriately named. A pale 
elusive pink that is really beautiful and not 
washed out looking. Added to this is its consist- 
ent ability to open 10 of these closely set florets at 
a time. I have seen it with 14 open. Nearly always 
takes “Most Open” honors at the show (which it 
did for me at Chicago in 1948), and was Grand 
Champ at Chicago when first shown as a seedling 
in 1945. Good propagator. 
L. 50c; M. 35c; S. 25ce 
RAVEL—477— (Konynenburg & Mark *47) 
A very rich light violet with darker violet throat. 
Color holds well in hot weather. Five to 7 open 
on spikes of good stature for a “blue’. Bulbs 
also more sound than those of most blues. 
L. 35¢ 
ROBINSON CRUSOE—490—(Lins ’44) 
This is a variety with a color than which there 
is no whicher, a light chocolate with deeper 
chocolate marbling. Nothing like it, and it never 
fails to draw the “Oh’s” and “Ah’s” at the show 
or in the garden. Don’t miss R.C. for the most 
novel of all your novelties. 
L. 50c; M. 40c; S. 25¢ 
RED WING—436—(Wright ’48) 
A fine new scarlet that has made lots of friends 
already. It makes a real show spike, tall and 
tapering like a buggy whip. Seven to 9 wide open, 
slightly ruffled florets will open at a time. Was 
Best Recent Introduction at Urbana, IIl., show 
the past season. A real acquisition for the keen 
showman. 
L. $2.50; M. $1.75; S. $1.00 
SALMAN’S GLORY—50%7— (Salman 747) 
A giant cream with a carmine feather on a yel- 
low throat. Five to 7 florets open on good strong 
growing spikes, 
L. 2-25¢ 
SANDMAN—486— (Butt °41) 
This fine smoky glad for some reason has been 
generally overlooked. It is one of the most strik- 
ing color combinations we have. Basic color is 
smoky rose, and a large white throat lends a most 
distinguished touch. Five to 6 florets open on tall 
spikes. 
L. 15e 
Received the shipment of bulbs and want to say they’ 
are nice clean looking stock, also thanks for the extras.
