KING SIZE 
From Champlain View Gardens 
Here is a variety that has really gone 
to town the past two years. It has 
won 4 Grand Champs, 8 Seedling 
Champs, plus numerous other special 
awards such as longest flower head, 
most open, largest floret, etc. In the 
1951 test gardens it was the highest 
rated variety. In 1952 it would have 
won the American Home Achievement 
Award except that one of the judges 
said it was not a commercial. How- 
ever on the seedling table it scored 
a full point higher than the A H A 
winner. Afterward a New York whole- 
saler visiting our gardens said it was 
just what they were looking for in New 
York. However I admit that from 
large and jumbo bulbs it may get too 
large for general commercial use. But 
where they want the extra large ones 
this is it. From medium and _ small 
bulbs it will make a nice commercial 
grade. 
This giant of giants is a clear light 
salmon with a few carmine lines on a 
rich cream throat. Opens up to 10 
or more 614-8" well placed blooms 
on a long head of 36-40”. The plants 
from large bulbs consistently run from 
6-61 feet or over tall with up to 26 
KING SIZE buds. It has good substance and opens 
well when cut. 
The KING SIZE will have a certain limited use. Its main use will be for exhibition and 
for the home garden. Everyone will want to see how big he can grow this variety. It certainly 
grows larger and taller than any variety I ever saw. 
It is a good propagator and makes many average size bulblets that germinate well. 
KING SIZE has been the talk at shows where it has been exhibited and I am sure it will 
have tremendous popularity.

PEACE LIGHT 
From E. A. & E. F. QUACKENBUSH 
PEACE LIGHT (Kadel) (410) Gardenia x [Myrna x (Mamie x New Era)} Peace Light 
is a clear, medium, yellow with a soft greenish glow. Its large, wide-open florets with recurved 
petals are borne on a tall, strong stem. It opens 7 florets with 5 more showing color on an 18 
bud spike. 
While Peace Light will doubtlessly hold its own on the show table, we feel that its greatest 
success will be as a cut flower. This opinion is based on its color value, its excellent substance, 
the fact that it is a tall, vigorous grower and that it propagates readily, making strong growth 
from bulblets. It grows 56 inches tall and blooms in 82 days. 
Its unusual phosphorescent glow attracted much attention from the hobbyists and com- 
mercial growers who saw it exhibited at the Union, Havre de Grace, and Binghamton shows 
last summer. 
Price—$3.00 each any size bulb. 1 bulb and 10 bulblets, $5.00. 
10 bulbs, $24.00. 10 bulbs and 100 bulblets, $40.00.
