 words the beauty of this variety. The flowers

 on lower petals. Entire flower showing a glisten-

GLARE — The most unique color among Glads. We 

 do not know its counterpart in any flower. It 

 is a red of indescribable hue — "Intense," "Bril- 

 liant," "Dazzling" do not fill the bill. It is all 



these and something more. The eye is irresis- 

 tibly attracted to it. The color leaves an impres- 

 sion upon the sight sense that persists after the 

 eye has been turned from the flower much as the 

 glare of the sun effects the retina. Glare will be 

 an acquisition of outstanding merit in any col- 

 lection. Each, $1.50.

 deeper on the edges. The lower petals are huf- 

 fish, with a pale crimson stripe through the cen- 

 ter; the throat is penciled with buff and crim- 

 son. The spike is straight and strong. Flowers
