high color value.

Early blooming Cynthia is an excellent cutflower. Some- 
times misplaces its florets, especially in hot, humid weather.

DARK DAVID 
(554) Morgan 1951 (90) 
A massive black red that is outstanding. Opens up to 8 
florets of double row placement on well proportioned flower- 
heads. Good bulblet producer and fine grower from bulb- 
lets. Many perfect spikes were observed last summer and 
this will be a heavy winner at the shows.

The name describes its color—smooth deep red, just like 
velvet. Opens up to 6 on a 20 inch flowerhead. The 
florets are round, wide open, and of firm substance. Good 
propagator and bulblets make fine growth.

(Blbts. 10-.50; 100-4.00) 
DEE-TWELVE 
(452) Arenius 1951 (85) 
A very brilliant deep red that commands a second look.

increaser and bulblets make vigorous growth. One of the 
very best reds for color.

tion or as a commercial. One of the very best of the 1951
