ATLANTIC (532 Blom & Padding 46) Lovely heavily ruffled coral red with darker throat 
and white mid-ribs. Up to 11 florets open at once. Fine for all purposes, commercial 
and exhibition. Strong grower. Very early flowering. Takes about 70 days from 
large bulbs. A prize winner many times. Stock in great demand. We know of no 
other variety that can be so consistently satisfactory. We hope to have enough large 
bulbs this year to last the season. Every previous year we have been sold out long 
before the planting season. We are offering especially fine, high-crowned bulbs 
which should all produce superb spikes of bloom.
