CLARENCE D. FORTNAM (440) Kadel ‘50 (90) 
A very beautiful imposing spike of ruffled and fluted florets—blush 
pink in color. Grows 56 inch tall and will open up to 10 florets on a 
24 inch flowerhead. Bulblet production and germination excellent. 
Its generous florescence and perfect form make it a star performer 
on the show bench. Was the Grand Champion bloom at the 1950 
Eastern International Show. Has a bright future as a cutflower.

CONNECTICUT YANKEE (441) Schnetsky ‘44 (90) 
A sensation on the show bench as it will open a double row of 8-10 
florets at once. Attractive light pink with an orange-scarlet throat 
blotch. Rather slow propagation may limit its commercial value.

CONNIE G. (506) Woods ‘48 (80) 
Without a doubt one of the most beautiful creams available. Holds 
8 large ruffled deep cream blooms open. Unfortunately bulbs are 
subject to ““‘water mark trouble’. This does not necessarily affect the 
performance of the bulb, but makes it look like thrip had eaten on 
bulb at husk lines. 
L $2.00; M $1.50; S $1.00; Blbts. 2-30c; 10-$1.20 
CONVOY (570) Palmer ‘42 (85)

CORONA (560) Palmer ‘40 (80) 
Very light creamy pink encircled with rose picotee edge. Good show

popular and one we recommend highly.
