Alberta: “I saw your corms inspected and the in- 
spector claimed they were the cleanest corms he has 
seen this year. It was a pleasure to watch the in- 
spector and see such lovely, high-crowned, clean, 
healthy corms.’’—W. J. Raison. 
Michigan: ‘193-46 (Elmer’s Rose)—Here is one to 
get up and shout about. A deep ruffled rose, with 
needle-pointed petals, 20 buds, 50 inches tall, 26-inch 
flowerhead opens 8 easily, with 8 in color, one of the 
finest things that has ever opened in my garden; I 
consider it a topnotcher. 
488-42 (Belvidere)—A beautiful maroon with silvery 
edges on each petal, perfect facing and spacing; 56 
inches tall for me, opens 10 and gets the attention of 
everyone who visits the garden. Takes heat, wind, 
and rain without burning or marking. This one is also 
TOPS. 
“Lavender Lace is perhaps our finest lavender to 
date. Florentine, a grand ruffled creamy white, is very 
outstanding for me.’’—Bruce Collins. 
Indiana: “We _ especially liked Enchantment. It 
grew about five feet tall and opened eight blooms. I 
think it was the most beautiful pink we had and we 
grow 200 varieties.”—C. D. Garver.
