Variety 
AUGUST MOON (Rich-’49) 510-80-85 
(Sdl. 1141) 
If you want a big, slightly frilled, light yellow 
glad, here it is. A sensation in the garden and 
on the show table. Petals are of nice heavy 
texture, facing and spacing very good. We had 
nice straight spikes which were strong and 
wiry. Foliage is very green and stands up- 
right. Propagation and germination of bulb- 
lets is fair. Looks like a variety the florists 
will love. Has been grown up to 60” tall, 26” 
to 28” flowerhead, 6% inch florets, up to 15 
buds, 6 open. 
AUTUMN LEAF (Howell-’49) 580-85 
Bright clean yellow and brown smoky. Edges 
of petals suffused plum shading to reddish 
brown, blending to large cream yellow throat, 
midribs are creamy yellow. Very attractive. 
Opens 7-8 6” florets on 18 bud spike. Tall 
grower and medium propagator. Slightly ruf- 
fled with excellent placement. 
BELLE JAUNE (K & M-’48) 312-85 
Medium yellow, solid self color without any 
markings. Florets slightly ruffled. Will open 6 
at one time. Very early. A fine commercial for 
the early market. 
BENJAMIN BRITTEN (K & M-’49) 470-80 
One of the best of the new Holland introduc- 
tions. This variety did especially well here this 
season. A very deep lavender with white stripe. 
An unusual shade and one we need. Very beau- 
tiful. Created much comment from visitors at 
our gardens this year, also at the shows. 
BIEDERMEIER (K & M-’48) 441-75 
An early novelty glad that especially appeals 
to the hobbyist. A slightly ruffled deep rosy 
lilac shade, with cream center. Has a sort of 
striped appearance. Some of our garden vis- 
itors say it resembles a lily. Very spectacular. 
BIG TOP (Rich-’42) 541-75 
Immense in size. Light pink with small car- 
mine feather. A show winner from large bulbs 
and a swell commercial cut-flower from me- 
dium and smaller bulbs. Will open 7 on a very 
long flower-head. 
BIRCH RED (Rich-’45) 552-90 
A sparkling pure deep red that delights all 
who see it. Growing habits very good. A sure 
show winner. 
Per Large Med. Small Per Bits.

“The biggest thrill I have had in a long time was when my packages of bulbs arrived 
from you last week. The bulbs are beautiful, the bulblets are immense, the quality is 
perfect and the extras wonderful. They look as if they were just bursting with pep to 
grow as soon as planted. This was my first order from you, but surely will not be my 
last.” W.J.D., Detroit, Mich.
