Best seedling and Grand Champion single spike of the show at Ames, 1944. Best 
three spike seedling in 400 Division at the lowa State show, 1947. Longest flowerhead, 
35 inches, at the Sioux City show, 1946. Mrs. Feye brought a spike to the Algona show 
having a 38 inch flowerhead and carrying 26 buds. This one will always be a contender 
for longest flowerhead at the shows. 
Walter Krueger says of HIHO: ‘This tall descendent of Ogarita with its vivid pink 
color and large cream white inner floret areas did very well here from all sizes of stock. 
Bulblet bloom exceeds that of many varieties grown from large bulbs.” 
Winston Roberts said: “One of the real standouts in our planting of new varieties 
last summer was this beautiful pure pink glad. It has a conspicuous and pleasing white 
center that blends nicely with clear pink background. A sturdy grower, it combines vigor 
with grace and beautiful color.” 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN (Selected tall strain) 
We have a selected strain of Elizabeth the Queen, descended from bulblets pro- 
duced by our Champion spike of 1943. Each year since this selected strain has pro- 
duced division winners in one or more shows. In 1947 the Grand Champion single spike 
of the lowa State Show was Elizabeth the Queen, grown and exhibited by Mrs. Etta 
Feye, and the bulb came from our selected strain. This was a magnificient spike with 
30 inch flowerhead, 22 buds with ten florets open. Yes, grown better than we have 
been able to do, although our show spikes have run 27 inch flowerheads with 21 buds. 
We had a 90 ft. row of blooming plants which showed very uniform spikes and habits of 
growth, nearly all blooming at the same time. Several growers agree this special selection 
runs distinctly taller than stock they grow or have seen in this general region, Again, in 
1949, this was a single spike Division winner for us at the Ames Show. It was runner-up 
to Pandora the Grand Champion. For 1950, Mr. George Lasch reports 90% of the spikes 
were of show quality. Champion single spike at Villa Park, Ill. show. Division winner again 
at the Iowa State Show, Cedar Rapids. Grown and exhibited by Don Henderson, this stock 
produced a Three Spike Division winner at the Iowa State Show, Algona, 1951; next 
day the same was picked Second Day Champion Three Spikes. We continue to receive 
numerous favorable reports. Recently, Jay Dittman wrote: *““Your strain of Elizabeth the 
Queen is surely superior; they are all show spikes.” 
CORONA (Selected strain) 
Most stocks of Corona have a good percentage of plants which produce cream 
colored Mowers without the pink halo margins. In 1944 we segregated from such a mixed 
stock of Corona, three tall growing plants having the desirable rose-pink margins on the 
florets. Now, after five growing seasons, this stock continues blooming true to the deep 
color. This year we are offering a few bulbs of this strain at premium prices, believing 
that the increase of this stock will eventually replace older stocks that are showing 
deterioration.
