MINUET. (Coleman) (Ex) (Com) (Dec) (80-85) Wonderfully beautiful clear light pinkish lavender. 5-6 and sometimes 7-9 heavily textured blooms open at once. Heavy foliage and fine grower though the bulblets need plenty of moisture to germ- inate them. This is the lavender by which all other lavenders are judged. Personally I consider this the finest light lavender in existence and probably as good an all round variety as there is of any color. MISS BLOOMINGTON. (K) (Com) (Dec) (67) Very early light yellow. Six or more good size well placed blooms open at a time. A very nice thing. MISS GREELEY. (Briggs) (Com) (Dec) Somewhat similar to W. H. Phipps. A little darker pink than Phipps. At its best does not make so massive a spike as Phipps at its best but probably will average fully as good, as Phipps is inclined to have many short spikes. The main feature of Miss Greely is its earliness. It blooms 3 weeks earlier than Phipps which should make it valuable. I have not grown many of this variety myself but have heard very fine reports on it. MOONDARA. (Errey) (Ex) Deep salmon with orange crimson blotch bordered with yellow. Long spike with eight or more blooms open. MOON MAIDEN. (Steves) (Dec) Pale blush lavender pink shading to creamy yellow in throat. Does not flake. 6-8 large blooms open at a time on a tall spike. Won first prize as basket of glads at Vancouver Exhibition in 1932 in stiff competition. MOORISH KING. (Pf) (Ex) (Dec) (90-95) Extremely large and the most beautiful deep velvety red individual flower I have ever seen in this color. Flowers are not usually well placed and a slow propagator. MOROCCO. (Pf) (Ex) Glistening deep red. About the color of Persia tho a bit lighter but larger and better in every way 6-8 g
