growth, nearly all blooming at the same time. Several growers agree this special selection 
runs distinctly taller than stock they grow or have seen in this general region. Again, in 
1949, this was a single spike Division winner for us at the Ames Show. It was runner-up 
to Pandora the Grand Champion. For 1950, Mr. George Lasch reports 90% of the spikes 
were of show quality. Champion single spike at Villa Park, Ill. show. Division winner again 
at the lowa State Show, Cedar Rapids. 
From Wyoming comes word: “‘Last year | tossed out all my bulbs of Elizabeth the 
Queen and swore ‘never again’. But, thanks to you, there is now facing me across the 
room a perfect spike of Elizabeth. I’m right proud of it, and I want you to know | 
really think you have something in your ‘Selected strain’. I’m certainly hoping to increase 
our stock of it another year.”—Max Hughes. 
CORONA (Selected strain) 
Most stocks of Corona have a good percentage of plants which produce cream 
colored flowers without the pink halo margins. In 1944 we segregated from such a mixed 
stock of Corona, three tall growing plants having the desirable rose-pink margins on the 
florets. Now, after five growing seasons, this stock continues blooming true to the deep 
color. This year we are offering a few bulbs of this strain at premium prices, believing 
that the increase of this stock will eventually replace older stocks that are showing 
deterioration.
