tremely hot weather a few stems may crook.

PRINCESS 466 EM This new lavender has 
been getting lots of favorable publicity the last 
three years. It has won all kinds of prizes, 
awards, grand champs, etc. I haven’t grown it 
myself, but those who have speak very highly of 
it. It is a clear medium rosy lavender, shading 
lighter in the throat, on which area few rose lines. 
It grows 50-58” tall with all the desirable growth 
qualities. 8-11 open florets are always well 
attached and of good substance. Somewhat like 
Elizabeth The Queen but deeper in color and 
taller in growth. One of the finest for exhibition 
or cut flower use. Looks like a real comer. 
L 3.00, M 2.25, S 1.50, B .50. 
“We were more than pleased with the bulbs we received from you last year. Our favorite was 
Fandango but with so many unusual ones we loved them all.”’
