BRIDAL ORCHID (carison-’50) 85 days-566 
Bridal Orchid is tops in commercial qualities as it has vigorous, fine, 
clean foliage, and produces firm, healthy bulbs and many bulblets 
which germinate easily. But it also has the necessary size, length, 
beauty of color and florets to make it an excellent flower for home use 
and winner on the show tables. Color is lovely lavender, lighter deep 
in the throat. Will open 6 on a 21-bud spike with perfect placement.

A blush-pink beauty with statesque proportions. Heavily ruffled florets

I would place this marvelous variety in the (506) cream class in- 
stead of the white (500) as formerly. Creamy white with lavender 
feather, very heavily ruffled and needle-pointed petals. Has won 
several top awards, including grand champions. Spike straight as 
spires and a beautiful sight in our plantings. This is the type we

ELIZABETH THE QUEEN white-41) 85 days-566 
This is the most useful variety we know. It gives beautiful spikes 
under almost every condition. It’s a beautiful lavender nicely ruffled 
and needle-pointed. If water and fertilizer are applied just as the bud 
spikes leave the sheath, the spikes will have better stretch. 
EVANGELINE (Palmer-’48) 92 days-540 
Light rose-pink with large ruffled 5%inch florets and a soft cream 
throat. 25- to 30-inch flower head. 18-20 buds and 8 to 12 open. A 
consistent winner of high awards.

This Glad has a similar combination of coloring and type of bloom as 
the Parrot Tulip. Beautiful peach-pink with chartreuse spurs on the 
back which carry their exotic coloring through the petals to the front. 
The texture, fluting, and ruffling is exceptionally heavy. Grows about 
50 inches high, 22-inch flower head. 5-inch blooms with 16-17 buds 
and opens 6 to 7 blooms. Makes beautiful arrangements and corsages.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (Harris-47) 38 days-400 
Finest Canadian white and probably the best cut and show flower in 
the white class of all time. 66 inches tall, 8 open on 22-bud spike. 
Straight, frilled florets in perfect placement. Marvelous cutter, excel- 
lent propagator and just good in every way.
