INTRODUCTION

To all fellow Daffodil Lovers,

We are pleased to present this descriptive catalogue which is prepared to cover 1995 and 1996 bulb deliveries. It will not be posted to you again, unless requested.

Our 1996 price list and descriptions of 1996 releases will be posted to you - if this one was - or if requested.

Again we feature varieties raised by Brogden Bulbs, but a number of recent imports from U.S.A. are included.

Of the many show awards we won in 1994, the most prized one was Premier 3 y.w (at the N.D.S. show in Timaru) with seedling 240/2. This was the first time such an award has been made in New Zealand. 240/2 is in great demand and has a future to envy.

We thank our clientele and trust to merit your continued support.

Spud & Joy Brogden.

SECTION ONE

1995 RELEASES - BRED & RAISED BY BROGDEN BULBS

2wiyyo EGMONT CHARM (E) X95112 We have always considered this Conquest x Bandit seedling as the best 'flat cupped' show variety. Near fully overlapped perianth is smooth and plane. The yellow and orange edged corona is of flat, wide bowl shape. Excellent poise, stem and plant health. Has form and beauty - hence its name. Premier 2w.r D.S. N.1. Show (Howick) 1993.

2wiwyo HAPPY SMILES (LM) X95!19 A decorative flower that is offered as a garden plant rather than for showing. A very strong grower that produces blooms that appeal to all who want something different and showy. The perianth is very white, shovel shaped and of stiff substance. The wide, flatish bowl corona is of pale yellow and white with a broad band of orange- red at the edge. Bred Conquest x Bandit.

3wo KIWI RULER (M) X94►4 Bred from Sweet Luck x Bandit this large flower has very smooth, very broadly ovate perianth that has the Miteness of 5weetkuck and the form of Bandit. The small bowl corona is an even shade of reddish orange and it easily measures division 3. Long, strong stems and strong plant. A high quality show flower that has been one of our top seedlings since first flowering. A great future shines for Kiwi Ruler.

3wiy UTTLE DOLL (L) X12I3 Only small to medium sized but consistently produces blooms of very good show form. The broadly ovate white perianth is smooth and flat while the very small corona is light yellow. Very long strong stems hold the blooms in excellent poise. Bred from Sea Dream x Verona.

2w. ooy TANZEY (L) 15519 One of the best in a small group of yellow rimmed show quality daffs. The flower is held squarely on a short neck and a strong, thick stem. The white perianth takes a few days to develop its broadly ovate, very smooth and plane qualities. The flatish, crimped corona with a fine crenate edge is deep orange with a narrow yellow band that does not fade as the flower ages. Has good breeding of (Motif x Avenger) x Crimpelene.

SECTION TWO

FIRST TIME LISTINGS - FROM OTHER RAISERS

1 y. yoo CORBIERE (EM) The large, round perianth is deep yellow. The straight sided, slightly flared trumpet opens deep yellow, but turns to orange as the flower develops. Great show flower that has premier -1 y.r awards at N.D.S. Shows. A John Lea seedling with strong plant and stem.

lw.w GHOST (E) This tall, graceful flower has long, broad perianth and a slim, slightly expanding trumpet. One of the very whitest from Murray Evans of the U.S.

2wiw GULL (M) The superbly smooth, rather long perianth and the long straight corona are of clean white. This large flower, that has many U.S. gold ribbons to its credit, was raised by Grant Mitsch. Long stem, good plant.

1 w.y POPS LEGACY (EM) This large, round flower from Bill Bender has great form and colour contrast. The smooth perianth takes a few days to whiten, while the well shaped and proportioned trumpet with a neat roll, is citrus yellow. Strong plant, stem and neck. Only a few to go.

2w,w RIVER QUEEN (LM) This well proportioned, very consistent, all white is my choice as the best 2w.w from U.S.A. The rounded triangular perianth is very smooth, plane and of excellent texture. Corona is slightly expanded with a neat crenate edge. Bred by Bill Pannill from Easter Moon x Vigil.

1 y.y VERDANT (M) Raised by Brian Duncan this large, broad flower has a lovely rolled trumpet. The perianth is greenish primrose while the trumpet is darker. Has a strong stem and very healthy plant.
