VISION 
Seedling 534-3. Edges are a light salmon or pale coral pink; the very promi- 
nent center is a clear light yellow. No other markings of any kind, except for 
a narrow pink picotee edging around the lip petals. The opening buds are a light 
greenish yellow with pink tips. Florets are nicely ruffied, somewhat fluted, and 
beautifully recurved. The flowers measure from four to four and-one half inches 
in diameter, with eight to twelve open at once on long spikes, stretchy flower- 
heads of 22-26 buds. A very husky grower, sometimes reaching five feet or more 
in height. A good propagator; blooms in about 95 days. Vision should be an 
easy winner in the 330 class. Parentage: Wings of Song x ([ Beacon x Star of 
Bethlehem ] x Boise Belle). 
L $5.00, M $4.00, Bulblets $1.00 each. 
CO-INTRODUCING 
PRINCESS 
(Larus) 
A very beautiful new lavender which won an Approval Award from the 
Hybridizers’ Test Group last season; rating the highest of the 26 seedlings tested. 
It also has a remarkable record at several big eastern shows, winning the follow- 
ing awards as a seedling during the past few seasons: Two Grand Champion- 
ships, one Reserve Championship, one Reserve Second-day Championship, four 
“Best Seedling’’ awards, two Best Three-spike seedling awards, including an 
American Home Achievement medal, five Awards of Merit, etc. Princess makes 
a truly stunning exhibition spike with its nine to eleven open florets of five-inch 
size on tall, stretchy spikes. It might be described as a slightly rosier Elizabeth 
the Queen, holding open more florets at a time, and growing much taller. We 
rated it ‘‘A-Plus’”’ in our trial patch last summer, the best new seedling we grew. 
L $3.00 each, M $2.25 each, S $1.50 each, Bulblets .50 each. 
HI JINKS 
(Cassebeer) 
A very good-looking new smoky with an interesting color combination. A 
smooth smoky light red, shading to slate and plum at the outer edges. A large 
snow-white throat completes a stunning effect; smooth and refined, not at all 
bizarre. Six large, round, slightly frilled florets are open on tall spikes. Placement 
not always perfect but usuaily good. HI JINKS is a very attractive smoky—we 
gave it an ‘‘A”’ rating without hesitation when it bloomed for us last summer. 
Bulbs, any size, $2.00 each. Bulblets .20 each, 12 $2.00. 
Special: 1 L, 1 M, 1 S, and 10 bulblets for $6.00.

for us! We want to get in on the ground floor when it is introduced. It 
looked like the finest thing I have ever seen.”” —J.P.W., Washington
