ACE OF SPADES (454) Sisson 1950 
A ruffled, clear black-red that has attained immediate pop- 
ularity. Without a doubt Ace of Spades is the blackest of 
the black-reds. Tall, healthy grower. Produces very long 
flowerheads. Makes lots of easily germinating bulblets. Its 
only apparent fault is its inability to open more than 5 or 6. 
One of the top sellers last year, we were able to fill only a 
portion of the orders received.
