open and five in color. Good placement and at- 
tachment. A fine all around performer and 
propagator. Will make a grand cut flower for 
the high class trade. A very classy and intriguing 
variety. Does not burn in the sun. 100% healthy. 
$2.00 any size, 1 bulb and 10 bulblets $4.00. 
From S. P. HATCH 
Mountaineer 530(Mariorie X Picar- 
dy)EM_ This variety 
looks like one of the best varieties Mr. Hatch 
has put out. It is a light salmon shading creamy 
toward the center and with an egg shell texture. 
A fine clean color. Huge nicely ruffled blooms 
with eight to ten open, seventeen to twenty-one 
total. Placement and attachment are good. Tall 
strong grower with long heads. I cannot find 
words to convey the beauty and majesty of this 
flower. It is simply marvelous. I had visions of 
entering this in the All America Selections but 
finally decided to let my customers in on it this 
year. Last year Mr. Hatch planted only part 
of the bulblets and got them in late so we have 
no medium bulbs and the few small ones we are 
keeping for increase. 
L only, $2.00, 1 bulb and 10 bulblets $4.00. 
GROWER’S UNIT—3 L, 30 B: $7.50. 
Write for prices on larger amounts. 
Pirate Chief Golden Boy (p. 14) 
From MILTON JACK 
Pirate Chief 568(Seedling No. 49068) 
((Better Times X (Greta 
Garbo x Dawn Glow))EM Deep lavender with 
rosy purple blotch edged cream. Petals are 
ruffled, rolled, needlepoint and have prominent 
midribs. Very regular placement and good 
attachment. Grows 5 feet tall with 22 buds and 
eight to nine open on a stiff medium sized stem. 
Blooms are 6” across, produces plenty of bulblets 
that germinate well. A grand variety for any 
purpose where a large tall blotched lavender is 
wanted. The color picture on the cover does not 
give the depth of lavender that the flower actually 
has. Thru an oversight last spring only part of 
the bu!blets were planted, so stock of small size 
is limited and we are holding those bulbs for 
propagation. 
$3.00 each for L and M. 
Mr. Jack surely has hit the jackpot (no pun 
intended) this season with a very outstanding 
variety that is tops and most unusual. Of late 
years Mr. Jack has been getting some wonder- 
fully fine seedlings and Pirate Chief which he is 
putting out this year I consider one of the best. 
I have bought half of the stock of Pirate Chief 
and I am very sure it will become extremely 
popular for all purposes. We grew this in our 
trials this past season and know whereof we 
Mountaineer speak. See picture on cover.
