KING SIZE 
Che New Giant 
KING SIZE (Hartman) (531) (California x Sir 
Galahad) 90-95 days. 
Here is a variety that has really gone to 
town the past two years. It has won 4 Grand 
Champs, 8 Seedling Champs, plus numerous other 
special awards such as longest flower head, most 
open, largest floret, etc. In the 1951 test gardens 
it was the highest rated variety. In 1952 it would 
have won the American Home Achievement 
PHOTO BY CORLISS 
Award except that one of the judges said it was 
not a commercial. However on the seedling table it scored a full point higher than the A H A 
winner. Afterward a New York wholesaler visiting our gardens said it was just what they were 
looking for in New York. However | admit that from large and jumbo bulbs it may get too large for 
general commercial use. But where they want the extra large ones this is it. From medium and small 
bulbs it will make a nice commercial grade. 
This giant of giants is a clear light salmon with a few carmine lines on a rich cream throat. 
Opens up to 10 or more 614-8” well placed blooms on a long head of 36-40’. The plants from 
large bulbs consistently run from 6-612 feet tall or over with up to 26 buds. It has good substance 
and opens well when cut. 
The King Size will have a certain limited use. Its main use will be for exhibition and for the 
home garden. Everyone will want to see how big he can grow this variety. It certainly grows larger 
and taller than any variety | ever saw. 
It is a good propagator and makes many average size bulblets that germinate well. 
KING SIZE has been the big talk at shows where it has been exhibited and | am sure it will 
have tremendous popularity.
