could not be furnished. This year I am assured 
that I shall have the bulbs to fill orders, at least 
early orders. But I do not think there is stock 
enough in existence to last thru the season. 
L 3.00, M 2.50, 5 2.00. — 
PRINCESS 466(Larus)EM An early medium 
lavender that has won all kinds of prizes and 
much publicity the past few years. It is also a 
good commercial type. 50” to 58” tall with 8-11 
open on a long head. One of the best. 
L 1.00, M .75, S .50, B 3/.25,10/.75. 
PROSPECTOR 410(Leffingwell)M Light yel- 
low with a very beautiful clear amber lip which 
gives the whole flower the appearance of deep 
yellow. It is really more than a yellow, a distinct 
and unique color that should not compete with 
yellows. It is in a class by itself. One of the most 
beautiful of all varieties of all time. Opens 6-8 or 
more perfectly placed blooms on a tall straight 
spike of 19-20 buds. Two years ago Carl Fischer 
said it was the Glad of the year. I think it is the 
Glad of most any year. Strong healthy grower and 
fine propagator. Two years ago for some reason 
the bulblets didn’t germinate well but this past 
season they grew about 100%. I have a nice 
stock. See cover and picture on page 52.

crease. Sold out too close last year.

red self color, a clean glowing shade. 41% feet 
tall with a 25 inch head. Opens up to eight well 
placed blooms with six showing color out of 20 
buds. Healthy foliage and clean high crowned 
bulbs. This is one of the most promising com- 
mercial prospects among the new reds.

514" blooms open out of 18-19. 4 feet or more 
tall. Received Gold Medal Award in the Canadian 
Trial Gardens. This is really a fine variety and 
one of the best reds. It grows very uniformly. 
All reports on it have been enthusiastic. We like 
it very much in our flower shop. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, B 4/.25,10/.50,100/3.50. 
REGINA 420(Palmer)EM Huge deep yellow 
containing some apricot, making a very rich and 
beautiful color, almost a light orange, with a 
small scarlet blotch. Blooms are waved, ruffled, 
wide open, needlepoint and of heavy substance. 
Good attachment and placement. Very tall 
willowy stems with 7-8 of its 20 buds open. Gold 
Medal winner in Canadian trials. A magnificent 
variety that everyone should and ultimately 
will have. Have wonderful reports. In a class by 
itself. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, B 2/.25,10/1.00. 
ROSALIND 430(Palmer)M Soft pastel azalea 
pink with yellow throat—very beautiful. Opens 
8 on huge towering spikes that are ideal for cut 
flowers as well as for exhibition. Well placed and 
attached. Silver Medal winner in Canadian trials. 
Exquisite. 
L 2.00, M 1.50, S 1.00, B 2/.30, 10/1.00. 
ROSANNAH § 580(Kydd)L Medium deep rose 
with somewhat deeper lines on lip. Grows very 
tall and sturdy and opens 9-10 on a very long 
head. This was one of the best varieties in my 
trials last year—one that stands out. It is 
classified as 580 which I think is all wrong as it 
showed no smokiness here. But it is an unusual 
and very beautiful color and will make a grand 
commercial as well as one of the best for exhibi- 
tion. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, B 3/.25,10/.75. 
ROSARIO 461(Fischer)E Glowing deep rose 
with a clean rose red blotch. Makes beautiful 
consistent spikes. One of the very best of Fischer’s 
seedlings of Elizabeth the Queen X Rose O’Day.

salmon pink with greenish cream throat that 
softens to a creamy yellow as it ages. Opens 7—9 
434-5”’ blooms with 8 in color of a 20-21 bud 
total. This is a very beautiful variety and has 
won many prizes at the shows. Have had 
wonderful reports on it. Price is down now to 
where you can afford it. 
L .35, M .25, S 2/.30, B 10/.25,100/2.00. 
ROSITA 536(Woods)M Grand distinctive rose 
with small darker blotch and a narrow white line 
around all petals. Very nice two tone rose that is 
different. Makes big spikes. A coming variety 
both for shows and cut flowers. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, B 8/.25,100/3.00.
