PINK BOUQUET 
(See Center Spread) 
Maid of Orleans X Camillia (90 Days) 
Mrs. Archie Woodcock No. 41101 
Class 44.0 
I rate this as one of the finest commercial intro- 
ductions of recent years. It is tall, vigorous, healthy, 
with exceptionally long flower heads. Field height 
easily up to 60 inches and it will produce up to 
32 buds with 10-12 open florets. With ordinary field 
culture you can obtain 22 or more buds. Color is 
light pink, of Pink Radiance color value, but with 
a clean, creamy throat. Florets open nicely, flat 
against the stem with the open florets looking you 
squarely in the eye. Placement is usually informal, 
although occasional spikes come with very formal 
placement. The buds are a very pretty peach 
color. My tests for opening prove that ten florets 
will open and hold from spikes cut with only the 
bottom four showing color. Florets open rather 
slowly, both in the field and when cut in bud, a 
prime requisite for commercial cutting. Bulblet 
production and germination medium. Pink Bouquet 
may prove to be outstanding for southern growing 
as the bulbs show no signs of being subject to the 
usual bulb rots. Also the high bud count will per- 
mit the usual reduction of buds of winter growing 
and still have plenty left. Bulblet production and 
germination medium. This may not prove a star- 
tling exhibition variety although it has won top 
awards for the originator at some of our toughest 
Wisconsin shows, including seedling and Grand 
Champion at the 1948 Manitowoc show; single and 
three spike excellent rating at Sheboygan and 
Single spike division champion at same show.
