OUR HEADLINE 1952 INTRODUCTION 
BETSY ROSS (Class 462). Originated by A. D. Zimmerman 
This bright and unique glad was the center of attraction in our trial garden. Rather 
irregularly striped rose-red on a white background it was suggestive of the red and 
white striping of our American flag, consequently the name “BETSY ROSS.” It opens 7 
florets on a 19 to 20 bud spike in 80 days. Very colorful, and if you like them different 
and gay, it will appeal to you. Priced at $1.00 per bulb any size, but because of the 
very small quantity available we wi!l have to ask 25c for each bulblet of this. 
THE GODDARD VARIETIES (From British Columbia) 
-Catalogued and grown in the United States for the first time, we regard these origi- 
nations as being very fine indeed. Aero produced the largest florets of any white we 
grew with a height and length of flowerhead that was in proportion. All have show- 
winning quality. A special group offer at a special price to induce you to try them this 
year. All large size bulbs in this collection offer. 
_ ATTRACTION (566), WHITECLIFFE (501), SILVER MOON (400), CHERUB (301), OR- 
CHID MONARCH (566), AERO (501). This group of six, each priced separately at 
Siesta cl regular value of $7.50 for only $6.00. 
GROUPS THAT DESERVE SPECIAL MENTION 
Our Oregon spring was early this year. Our field plantings started March 21st, 
were completed May 10th, and already at this writing (July 12) we have been able to 
check field performance on all varieties that bloom in 85 days or less. Extremely low 
humidity coupled with temperatures in the high nineties has given us some data on heat 
resistance, and a few seedlings which otherwise seemed almost perfect have been elimi- 
nated from further consideration by us. 
Combining last summer’s reports with this season’s records of bloom to date, we find 
the Burn (N.Z.) and the Burns (Aust.) groups are very impressive, and certainly most 
of them will prove garden favorites. MRS. RHODA PETERSON is certainly the finest 
smoky that has come to us from Australia, and Pfitzer’s TOBRUK by far the finest black 
red in the 400 size. PHAROAH made extensive winnings last summer and is a must in 
the giant salmons. GRAND FINALE, our first release, finally has been distributed widely 
enough to allow its appearance on the show tables, and it won consistently. 
BULBLETS 
We are prepared to furnish bulblets of every variety we list, altho to save on printing 
costs these are not listed or priced. Bulblet orders of less than 25c per variety cannot 
be accepted. Prices on the newer varieties are normally based on 10 bulblets for the 
price of a large bulb. On older, lower priced varieties, 25c packets will contain up to 
100 bulblets, the quantities varying according to the list price and the bulblet propa- 
gation productiveness. 
SEEDLING BULBS — BULBLETS — and SEED | 
(A) We offer bulbs grown from bulblets of our 1949 seedling crop for $1.00 per 10 
bulbs. Bulblets from this same stock for $1.00 per 100. (A mix from 4000 different 
seedlings.) 
(B) Bulblets from our 1950 seedlings — 50 for $1.00. (A mix from 9000 different 
seedlings.) 
(C) SEED — from latest introductions in our trials — per package of 15 seed — 25c. 
Per packet of 100 seed — $1.00. 
THE CLASSIFICATION CODE NUMBERS USED IN OUR DESCRIPTION OF VARIETIES 
ARE TAKEN FROM THE 1951 NAGC SELECT LIST. Note that an odd number in the final 
digit indicates that the variety is conspicuously blotched or feathered. Following the 
dash after the 3 digit class number we give you the average number of days required 
to bring the variety into bloom, when large bulbs are planted.
