WHITE GODDESS (Roberts ’48) 500 (EM). An older white that has stood 
the test of time; still winning at the shows and extensively used as a com- 
mercial cut flower. A slightly creamy white with deeper cream center, its 
large florets are nicely ruffled and it opens up to 9 on fine tall spikes. A 
fine spike of White Goddess was Grand Champion of the Vermont show last 
August; it was also voted Most Beautiful. Other winnings included Reserve 
Champion of the Winnipeg show in Canada, and one or two sectional 
championships. 
L 2-.30, M 3-.25, Bulblets 40-.25. 
WHITE LACE (Fischer 51) 300 (E). Lovely medium-small ruffled white 
with cream center. Has a rather short stem, but wonderful for bouquets and 
arrangements. It can win at the shows, too, often topping its section. 
L .25, M 2-.30, S 3-.25, Bulblets 50-.25, 100-.40. 
WHITE SAILS (Arenius 754) 401 (EM). This new white-with-marking 
won a grand championship in its first year as a named variety, and we pre- 
dict it will win a lot more. A lovely snow white with clear, sharp, lines or 
feathers of bright lavender. Stems are medium-tall, flowerheads very 
stretchy, with 9 to 11 large flowers open at once in perfectly formal ar- 
rangement. One of the best new things we had in our trial garden last 
summer; bound to become popular. Makes small bulblets. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.00, Bulblets .25 each, 5-$1.00. | 
WONDER BOY (Tyndall ’52) 470 (M). An extra nice purple that is some- 
what more blue-toned than King David or The Rajah. The florets are 
slightly waved and somewhat recurved, with some of the petal tips quite 
needlepointed. A clear purple without markings except for some slightly 
deeper purple flecking on a percentage of the spikes. It opens at least 7 or 
8 large flowers on very good spikes. Should be fine for either exhibition or 
commercial use. A good propagator of small bulblets. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 4-.25, 10-.50, 50-$1.75. 
YULETIDE (Roberts 7538) 487 (ML). A clear light scarlet of heavy sub- 
stance. The lip petals have an overlay or veining of yellow that shines 
brightly in the sunlight. The large flowers are moderately ruffled and 
fluted; about 6 open at a time. Quite unique. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2-.20, 10-.75, 100-$6.00. 
ODDS AND ENDS 
Some old, some new—all good varieties. Of most of these, we just didn’t have enough
