May Tarrant pee (562) M. This 
eep rose variety intro- 
duced last year has gone over big. One of the 
finest colors, being almost a cherry red with a 
white throat. Easy consistent grower. Opens 
7-8 6’’ blooms on a 20 bud spike. Has won lots 
of prizes at the shows and will make a grand 
commercial. One you will certainly want to get 
a start in. (Photograph on page 2).

Mazda (Leffingwell) (416) M. Here is a 
variety that got off to a bad start 
thru no fault of the variety itself. The color is 
deep buff shading to a yellow throat. Grows 
4-5 ft. tall with 8-10 well placed 4'%4-5” 
blooms open on a head of 16-22 buds. It is a 
strong robust grower and always makes beauti- 
ful heads of bloom. Was one of the best in the 
trial grounds. It will make a fine commercial 
and is an exceptional show variety. This last 
season Beulah Fortnam grew it and was very 
enthusiastic about it. 
It was introduced two years ago but due to a 
series of unfortunate circumstances it is not well 
known. From now on it is going places.

(Taylor) (466) M. Beautiful bright 
rosy lavender with rose red thumb 
mark. Opens 6 or more well placed blooms on 
a tall slender willowy plant.

Dr. Cason writes: “‘Florets opened nicely, and 
the color is excellent. In fact it was probably 
the best seedling I grew in 1950 and seemed to 
be extremely healthy even from these old bulbs. 
Also I got some excellent growth from bulblets 
and again this year the old bulbs produced a 
wealth of bulblets. I saw straight well dif- 
ferentiated spikes with 22 buds, 7 open and ro 
in color.”

grower with 5-6 well placed blooms open.

known growers, think very highly of this 
variety. First class commercial.
