PURPLE—70 Series 
370 HAVELOCK (Julyan) (our ’48 im- 
port release) M. Medium size florets 
of about 4 inches, clear, rich, deep 
blue-violet toned purple. Strong 
grower and very consistent in its 
ability to open 8-10 on tall spikes of 
grand commercial quality. Good pro- 
pagator. 
Our ratings, 86-A-A. 
Each L .20 M .15 Bits (100, $1.50). 
470 LANCASTER (Palmer ’44) M. Clear, 
dark, velvety purple, beautifully 
waved and ruffled. Rates No. 15 in 
the last Canadian Symposifim. Its lack 
of progress and acclaim is due only 
to rather poor propagation but finally 
we have it priced where all may 
have it. 
Our ratings, 87-A-C. 
Iv .15: Blts-(100, $1.). 
570 VELVET DREAM (Salman) (our 
750 import release) M. Velvety brown- 
ish garnet, a deep shade of violet-red 
purple. Silvery hair line edging. This 
is a real giant having 26-28 inch 
flower heads with 6-7 wide open, flat, 
round florets on long wiry stems of 
the Harmau and Mansoer type. At- 
tachment is extraordinary, consider- 
ing its size. 
Our first N. W. Ohio (Toledo) and at 
Binghamton it took our own good 
spike of New York to beat it, 749. 
A 1st at W. Va. and our ists at Tri- 
State and Toledo, ’50. 
Test ratings, B 87. 
Each L $1.00 M .75 S .50 Bits .10 
(100, $6.40). 
LIGHT VIOLET—76 Series 
o7@ BLUE ICE (Butt *45) M. Light 
oriental blue with some feathering of 
the color, throat carries a deeper blue 
mark edged yellow. Florets about 6 
inches, lightly creased and a bit 
ruffled, wide open, mostly single lip 
with top petal back. 6-8 open on tall, 
straight spikes. 
Bulblet production fair but their ger- 
mination is difficult. 
Our ratings, 85-A-C. 
Each L $1.00 M .60 S .40 Bits .06. 
477 RAVEL (K & M) (our ’47 import 
release) E. Medium blue violet, deeper 
than Blue Ice, with a reddish brown 
throat mark. Makes tall, straight 
spikes with large florets of good sub- 
stance, well placed and spaced. Unlike 
most blue varieties Ravel is a very 
healthy grower, an excellent propa- 
gator and the spikes stand up.
