all the good qualities needed for either com-

L .75, M .50, S .25, B 10/.75,100/6.00. 
GUSTAV MAHLER 476(K&M)E_ Called a 
pansy violet—to me it is a smoky blue. Makes a 
nice spike on a medium height plant. Aside from 
being a good variety in general it is healthier 
than most blues having been produced by a 
different line of breeding. Should be useful as a 
breeder.

HARRIET 370(Everett)M A lustrously beauti- 
ful rich ruffled purple with indefinable ‘‘class.”’ 
White lines on a slightly deeper lip. You will 
like it.

HARRISBURGER 552(Mikle) LM Exquisitely 
beautiful clear deep cherry red—nothing else like 
it. I have purposely refrained from using a color 
picture of it as from my experience with color 
pictures I don’t believe I could get one that 
would do it justice. It opens 6-8 on a tall very 
strong plant. Have 
had wonderful re- 
ports on this from a 
number of the lead- 
ing growers. Carl 
Fischer says it will be 
the best red for the 
next few years. It 
would certainly have 
won in the All Amer- 
ica Selections if this 
organization had been 
in existence when 
Harrisburger was 1n- 
troduced. I have a 
nice stock this year.

HEADLINER = 531 
(Klein) VE Very 
beautiful and appeal- 
ing orange salmon 
with large cream 
blotch. Ruffled, nee- 
dlepoint, flaring 5% 
inch florets. Tall 
strong healthy grow- 
er. Doesn’t crook or 
fade. Opens 8-10 on 
a long spike. This 
was one of the finest 
varieties in my field 
last year. I predict 
Headliner

great success for this variety. Easy doer and good 
propagator with about the largest bulblets I ever 
saw. See cut below. 
L 2.00, M 1.50, S 1.00, No bulblets this year. 
HEIRLOOM = 566(Klein)M Rose orchid or 
orchid lavender. Opens 11 on a long spike though 
plant is not too tall. When well grown it is just 
about the finest lavender I know. Has been a 
great show winner and is bound to become ex- 
tremely popular. I hear that some stock of 
Heirloom has virus in it which shortens the 
plants considerably. Mine have been good. 
Medium size will give fine blooms. 
L 1.00, M .75, S .50, B 3/.25,10/.75,100/5.00. 
HEIRLOOM Special strain. Mr. Klein, the 
originator, says he has a strain that grows much 
taller and better than the regular strain. I have 
seen wonderful spikes of it from bulblets. 
L 1.25, M 1.00, S .75. 
HERALD  316(Palmer)EM Here is another 
noteworthy addition to Mr. Palmer’s Butterfly 
strain. Deep yellow with orange salmon shading 
and with a large red throat blotch. Most spec- 
tacular and showy. Opens 8-10 nicely waved 
and needlepoint blooms on a head of 18-20 buds. 
Medium height like the other Butterfly varieties. 
A Silver Medal winner in Canadian trials. 
L 2.00, M 1.50, S 1.00, B 2/.30, 10/1.25. 
HOWARD V. WRIGHT 410(Kadel)M Light 
creamy yellow shading to deeper throat. Opens 
8 well placed blooms on a long head. One of the 
very best of its shade. 
L 1.00, M .75, S .50, B 4/.25,10/.50,100/3.50. 
INDIGO 478(Butt)E Rich pansy blue with 
reddish throat. This is a real addition to the 
blues—a classy one that I liked very much. 
Opens 6-9 on a four foot spike with 17-19 buds. 
A nice grower and blooms from all sizes. 
L 2.00, M 1.50, S 1.00, B 2/.30,10/1.00.
