up dark green 28 inches tall, 25 blts, per bulb of excellent 
germination and growth. Cleanest, most beautiful and 
brilliant burnt orange to date, if it were not we would not 
have kept growing it for nine years, each and every year 
it has given top performance and we feel sure most all will 
enjoy growing this one. Under artificial light it is an eye 
burner that we can not over praise. Read Our Chatty 
Nook for more information regarding Prairie Blaze.

LARIME X VICTORY QUEEN 
(About 90 days)...Sdlg, T-156. Very rich colored choco- 
late, near old rose with big yellow blotch with no markings. 
Very clean color, well open, ruffled and fluted, 5 inch 
floret, 7 open, 20 buds, 55 inches overall, healthy dark 
green foliage. Produces 30 blts, per large bulb that ger- 
minate and grow well. Will show as orange smoky and is a 
real beauty that has attracted all who have seen it that like 
dark smokies. Has been a favorite smoky with us the six 
years we have grown it. Had hopes of introducing it at a 
lower price but it met with the same disaster that Prairie 
Blaze did, see ‘(Our Chatty Nook’’. SO we had to up the 
price somewhat, even so we consider the price low as will 
our customers once they see it in bloom. Per each, Small 
$1.50; Blts, .40.
