TREASURE ISLAND (540 Lins) A gorgeous light or- 
chid pink, beautifully ruffled wide open florets. Is 
one of the very best in its color class. It has size, 
perfect form, high color value and is one of the best

rich. Considered one of the best cutflowers in the 
light pink class

VISION (331 Roberts 1953) ORIGINATOR’S DES- 
CRIPTION: “A beautiful light salmon with a very 
large creamy throat. The ruffled flowers are 
medium-large in size, round and of extra heavy 
substance. We predict many future show winnings 
for Vision, as it is in an uncrowded class and opens 
more at once than most, 7-8 or more,” 
To this we may add that our bulblet stock of Vision 
grew into good sized healthy bulbs, which is im- 
‘ portant. The color makeup as it bloomed here was 
TREASURE ISLAND exquisite. M $2.00; S $1.25; Bts. 40c, 10-$3.20
