FROM CHAMPLAIN VIEW GARDENS 
MARATHON § Originated by Bill Lawrenson. 
A soft butterscotch yellow with a small reddish spot in the throat. Grows up to 6 
feet tall, with 18-20 buds on a long flowerhead. The 5% blooms are well placed and are 
firmly attached with 7 open at a time. The blooms are slighty waved with good texture. 
The color is much softer and less contrasty than in Spotlight and so will be much 
more valuable for florist use. MARATHON has the ability to open after long distant 
shipping so should become a very popular variety for the cut flower growers, 
The parentage is Picardy X Margaret Beaton and is a good propagator. 
Price: $2.00 each for any size. 1 Bulb and 10 selected bulblets for $5.00. 
Growers Units 10 Large 10 Medium 10 Small and 300 Bulblets for $125.00.
