unusual and beautifully ruffled. A variety that 
should become a popular commercial and show 
variety. 
L 1.50, M 1.00, S .60, B 2/.25,10/1.00. 
LEAH GORHAM 451(Gorham)M Ruffled light 
red with cream white throat. Very striking variety 
somewhat similar to Carnival but a little larger. 
Opens 5-7 well placed blooms. Very popular 
variety. 
L .30, M .20, S 2/.30, B 10/.25,100/2.00. 
LEIF ERICSSON 506(K & M) A grand cream 
variety for any purpose. Opens 8-10 somewhat 
ruffled blooms. A tall husky grower that makes 
really wonderful heads of bloom. Fine propagator. 
The coming commercial cream. Great for ex- 
hibition. 
L .30, M .20, S 2/.25. 
LODESTAR 412(Palmer)EM Beautiful rich 
medium shade of yellow shading slightly darker 
on the lip. Opens 5-7 on a medium height plant. 
One of the most beautiful yellows which any 
lover of yellows must have. However if conditions 
are not good it may be a little short in the head. 
Don’t know why a variety must have a long 
head anyway as when florists use them they cut 
the tips off. 
L .20, M 2/.25, S 3/.25, B 20/.25,100/1.00. 
LOVABLE 532(Rowse)M Here is a giant plant 
with a very beautiful flower of enormous size. 
A lively salmon which sometimes flakes, but the 
flaking improves the color instead of detracting 
from it as usual. Opens 8 or more 6” blooms with 
a total of 20. The plant gets up to 6 feet tall 
with strong straight stems. One of the very 
finest in our garden and one that stands out any- 
where. Opens well in water. 
L 2.00, M 1.50, S 1.00, B .25,10/2.00. 
MACUSHLA 460 (Paul) M Distinctive shade 
of bright rose with a light cream throat on which 
is a darker feather. Strong husky plant with 
6-7 open. 
L .25, M 2/.25, S 3/.25, B 20/.25. 
MADELINE HEFTY 462( Woods)M Opens up 
to 10 with 8 showing on a long flower head on a 
medium height plant. Makes beautiful large 
spikes. 
L .25, M .20, S 2/.25, B 15/.25,100/1.25. 
MAGNET 562(Fischer)M Sparkling deep orchid 
rose. Lighter in color than Noweta Rose but a 
larger bloom. Opens 5-6. A beautiful variety that 
I am sure you will like.

MALIBU _530(Benedict)E Very beautiful 
ruffled light pink shading darker toward the edge 
and with a creamy yellow throat. Opens 8-10 on

MALLOW 462(Palmer)M Very strong growing 
light rose with large cream blotch. Opens 7 on a 
tall plant. Fine florist’s variety. 
L .30, M .20, B 10/.25. 
MANDARIN 450(Woods)M _ Called a tomato 
red with darker blotch but to me it is lighter than 
tomato color but very attractive. Strong willowy 
stem up to 41% feet tall with 8 or more nicely 
ruffled blooms open. Spectacular. 
L .75, M .50, S .35, B 5/.25,25/1.00. 
MARATHON = 416(Lawrenson-Odell)M = Ex- 
tremely tall strong growing light buffy yellow 
with a small red feather. Opens 7 on a long head. 
Very good shipper. Medium bulbs will give you 
fine blooms. 
L .25, M .20, S 2/.25, B 15/.25,100/1.25. 
MARGERY 462(Melk)EM Brilliant cerise rose 
with darker rose throat. Sometimes shows streak- 
ing like its parent Candy Splash. However the 
florists do not object to this. In fact a leading 
florist of Milwaukee took all the blooms available 
at a high price. A gorgeous spike won Grand 
Champ at the Grants Pass show this past sum- 
mer. Opens 8 or more slightly ruffled 5’’ blooms 
with 8 more in color on a 21 bud spike. Place- 
ment and attachment good. Tall strong grower 
and propagator. One grower calls this the best 
introduction of 1953. 
L 3.00, M 2.00, S 1.25, B .35,10/3.00.
