‘‘FOR THE BEST IN GLADS’’ 19 
PARTHIENA (566) Hitchcock ’49 (80) 
A new shade of deep lavender, distinctive and very attractive, es- 
pecially when used in arrangements. Opens 7 ruffled blooms on a 
spike of medium height. Excellent show record. Makes plenty of 
bulblets that germinate and grow well. Some question the attach- 
ment of the florets but apparently it is good enough to permit this 
variety to gain cutflower status.
