tall but has 17—20 buds. Visitors just rave over 
this one. It is simply gorgeous. Good propagator 
but stock is rathet small as yet. Really should be 
held another year.

Proms. P: HATCH 
(432) Here is a valuable 
new early variety, among 
the very earliest outside a few miniatures. Mr. 
Hatch says it is the earliest variety he ever grew 
—earlier than Friendship. With me it was about 
as early as the first few spikes of Friendship but 
got into production and was all cut out sooner 
than Friendship. The latter sends up a few early 
spikes but straggles over a long period while 
Harbinger blooms out quick and is gone early—a 
valuable quality in a commercial variety. 
The color is a beautiful soft deep salmon with 
large golden throat, this golden color extending 
out onto the midribs. The 5’’ blooms are well 
placed and attached and it opens 6-8 on a spike 
of 18-19 buds. Height of plant is up to 4 feet. 
All in all it is a fine early commercial that will 
surely become very popular with the growers. 
Of course, it is also just as good for the amateur 
who wants them early. It is a healthy variety 
and good propagator. Customers in our flower 
shop always said ‘‘Put in some of those.”’ 
$2.00 each for any size bulb. 
1 bulb and 10 bulblets $4.00. 
10 bulbs any size and 100 bulblets $25.00. 
25 bulbs any size and 250 bulblets $50.00. 
50 bulbs any size and 600 bulblets $100.00. 
No bulblets sold alone. 
Harbinger 
From ED HOWELL 
Lorelei 406(90-95 days) A lovely soft 
harmony of delicate ivory cream 
with a hint of yellow. Golden tints reflected in 
the throat. One of the showiest and most strik- 
ingly beautiful cream varieties ever created. 
Lorelei’s straight majestic 20 bud spikes are 
over 6’ tall with 8-10 large ruffled florets open 
and 6-8 buds showing color. The flowerheads 
average over 30” long and the 514” ruffled and 
creased waxy florets open perfectly and hug the 
stems tightly. A consistent producer of exhibi- 
tion spikes that are a sight to behold; Lorelei 
will also be an important commercial—all buds 
open to the tip in water. A rapid propagator 
with 100% bulblet germination. A splendid all- 
around glad.

From T. ITO 
Beni-Kocho (Scarlet Butterfly) 236 E 
his has many of the 
good points of both parents Nadia and Atom. 
Color is flame salmon scarlet with the lower 
petals bordered yellow and on which is a darker 
line. Tho classified the same as Atom it is much 
lighter and I think wonderfully beautiful. The 
slightly hooded well spaced florets make a light 
airy spike. 7-8 open and 15 total buds. A real 
contribution to the miniature class. Grows up to 
4 feet tall and blooms from all sizes. 
Any size bulb $1. Supply limited. 
301(Cupid Seedling)EM Tho 
this gets up to 4” across it is 
definitely the small flower type and very useful 
in arrangements. The color is white with a large 
light violet blotch on lower petals and smaller 
blotches of the same color on the upper petals. 
There is nothing else like it. The picture really 
shows it better than I can describe it. These
