516 KAWATIRI (Pupich) M. A giant, ered many show championships. 
rich creamy buff blending into a light 
yellow throat not far from silvery 
white. The edges of the petals are 
slightly diffused pink and the un- 
opened buds a beautiful golden buff, 
tinted pink. The florets are 6-7 inches 
(8% has been claimed in N. Z. where 
it originated), beautifully frilled and 
of heavy texture. 6-8 open on tall 
spikes, some of which may crook under 
very adverse conditions. In spite of 
this tendency the Ballarat Test Gar- 
dens awarded it their F. C. C., ’48. 
Our rating, 86-B-C.

417 PACTOLUS (K & M ’47) E. A very 
spectacular glad with strong, bright 
colors. Deep  apricot-cream with 
orange red blotches on lower petals. 
Though the colors are “hot”, they are 
in pleasing harmony and the spikes 
are very spectacular. Eight florets 
open easily on straight stems, closely 
spaced in double row formation, well 
attached. 
Test rating, A 89.

416 PATROL (Palmer ’46) EM. Clear 
apricot with yellow in throat. Tall

416 STRALIA (Both) (our ’47 import 
release) M. Color is clear, unmarked, 
salmony buff, pastel. Here is a glad 
to watch. Its ruffling is superb and 
its clean, beautiful color is outstand- 
ing. Large but not a giant. Tall but 
not too tall, 55 inches. All of its 
habits, stem, substance, placement, at- 
tachment, bulb health, germination, 
etc., appear to be far above “satis- 
factory level.” Powerful propagator. 
Test rating, AA 91. 
Each M only .10 Bits (100, .50). 
417 SUN SPOT (Roberts ’45) EM. A tall, 
sometimes loosely arranged but large 
spike. A pale buff with clean color 
though pale enough to be somewhat 
lacking in color character. However, 
the small, rose red spot in the throat 
gives it a striking appearance. An 
easy doer that grows well. Has gath-

color. Deep, tangerine orange, spec- 
tacularly blotched purple, overlaid 
cerise with a single rib down center

(our ’49 import release) M. A pastel 
salmon orange with a carmine feather 
on an ochre throat. Heavy textured 
florets, 6-8 open on 20-22 bud spikes 
medium tall. A vigorous propagator

Some slight peeling of color in soggy 
weather reduced its test rating to C 84.

522 TUNIA’S DELIGHT (Both) (our ’47 
import release) M. As beautiful and 
refined a glad as we have discovered 
In many years. Clear, liquid, deep 
orange of huge size with a narrow, 
perfect blue margin around the edge 
of every petal, a marvelous beauty 
able to open 8 at one time. If well 
grown, many bulblets bloom and make 
very sizeable bulbs.
