in throat. No color flecks. No deeper 
feathering whatever until a _ very 
slight amount on blooms in mid- 
October. Color is beautiful, soft pastel

more attractive under artificial light.

7 more in color on 20 bud spikes in 
very uniformly perfect, double row

strong, straight, well placed spikes 
give great exhibition and commercial 
promise to this sister seedling of 
Evangeline.

shoot spikes of 10-15 buds, also with 
many buds in color that bloom out to 
the tip.

442 PALL MALL (K & M) (our 754 
import release) EM. Medium pink 
with rosy cast and faint deeper feather 
in throat. A Tivoli seedling with 
stronger color that has commercial 
promise. Florets 514 inches, a_ bit 
waved, ribs slightly creased. Powerful 
plant growth not only from all bulb 
sizes but also from bulblets. Place- 
ment, stem strength, bud separation, 
access to cutting, etc., appear highly 
satisfactory and we feel this variety 
will outpoint both Tivoli and Miss 
Holland, 8-8-4-20.
