TRIM 
(Fischer 52-50) Class 266 
We had this seedling in our Trial Garden this past summer and thought it 
was the best lavender miniature seedling we had ever seen and prevailed 
upon Carl Fischer to part with it. It grows 50” tall on a 20 bud 26” long spike 
with 6-7 open with the florets just under 31/2 inches. Bulbs are healthy and a 
medium propagator. It is a most beautiful, clean, blue toned lavender with 
medium ruffling and a certain dainty elegance for which I cannot find words 
to describe but am sure you will agree when seeing it. This will fill the gap in 
a rather weak class. 
Any size bulb $2.00 
1 bulb and 10 selected bulblets $5.00 
GROWERS UNITS 
5 bulbs any size and 75 bulblets $ 25.00 
10 bulbs any size and 200 bulblets $ 50.00 
25 bulbs any size and 500 bulblets $100.00

PURPLE BURMA (See cut on Front Cover page) 
(570) (85 days) (Boewe, 1955) (Sport of Burma) 
Our leading 1955 introduction! A mutation of Burma and like its parent 
it enjoys the same fine qualities: the sumptuous ruffling, the fluting, the 
heavy-suede-like substance, the rich velvety texture, the fine, long heads, 
the generous bud count, and the same vigorous growth in the field. Burma 
is still unchallenged in a glorious rose-red but now it is duplicated in a 
still more glorious rich, deep-purple. Purple Burma is a kingly flower wearing 
a velvet robe of regal splendor. 
Though we do not recommend Purple Burma as a good long distance 
shipper, successive tests have shown that it will open well in water; far 
superior to Burma or its other sports. 
We have not been able to time the blooming of this gorgeous purple very 
well for the shows. One of the few times was at Chicago in 1953 where it won 
the American Home Achievement Award and the 3-spike Grand Champion of 
the Central International Glad Show. 
Don’t get the idea that because we are introducing it at a modest price 
it is a cheap glad. Just the reverse! From the time we bloomed the trial bulbs 
we recognized Purple Burma’s great worth and propagated it as fast as we 
could. Being more prolific than Burma, we are pleased to share it with you in 
generous quantity. 
We feel that you will concur with our appraisal of Purple Burma when 
you grow it, as you must, in your own garden.
