DEPENDABLE GLADS 
5 
ORANGE 
LA PALOMA 
(Dusinberre). Earl mid-season. Ridgway: Capucine Yellow to Mikado Orange. 
(42nd in 1931), 
Almost a true orange. A tall Prim of good growing habits, and very floriferous. 
ORANGE WONDER 
(Kemp). Late. Ridgway: Deep Grenadine. (48th). 
Here is a real orange Glad without any suggestion of Prim blood. It is gradually 
coming to the front as one of the really fine Glads. Wonderful under artificial light, 
and it opens up splendidly indoors. Very large bloom, and heavy foliage and plant. 
The spike is not so stretchy as it might be. 
SCARLET 
AFLAME 
(Hornberger). Mid-season. Ridgway: Rose Doree, shaded Scarlet. (12th). 
Though a Prim, this Glad is a real contribution to the Glad world. Immense 
spikes and blooms. The color effect is a bright scarlet, or flaming red. 
DR. F. E. BENNETT 
(Diener). Earl mid-season. Ridgway: Scarlet. (6th). 
The test of a really great Glad is its ability to hold its place in popular esteem 
through the years. Dr. Bennett has about the fewest faults of any Glad I know of, 
and is retaining its many virtues unimpaired as time passes. This Glad and a few oth¬ 
ers, like Betty Nuthall, seem specially designed for cutting, with their bunched foli¬ 
age, tall straight regular stems, and many fine buds showing color. A vivid scarlet. 
It is what we mean when we say dependable. 
PFITZER’S TRIUMPH 
(Pfitzer). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Scarlet, blotch deeper. (8th). 
Sensational when grown right. Given cool days and lots of moisture, or plant¬ 
ed late, it is unbeatable. The hot sun crooks and burns it, and drouth makes the 
stems short. Big round wide-open blooms of a solid scarlet color. Imagine a Bennett 
with a Pfitzer’s Triumph bloom. 
PRIDE OF PORTLAND 
(Ellis). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Light Scarlet Red, white blotch. 
A steady winner at the shows last summer. This Glad is finding a high place as 
it becomes adapted to our climate. A vivid scarlet pink, with a pure white blotch, on 
a very tall straight spike. The flower is very large and exceedingly bright. 
RED 
COMMANDER KOEHL 
(Pfitzer). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Between Carmine and Ox-blood Red. 
(14th). 
The winner in the red class at all the shows. This fine Glad is climbing high in 
the rating tables. A deep glistening glowing red of great size. Many open on a fine 
spike. 
RED GLORY 
(Piper). Mid-season. Ridgway: Carmine- 
A sport of Purple Glory, and the only sport I know of that is an improvement 
over its parent stock. It has all the qualities of the famous Purple Glory, but the 
color is a pure glistening red, and the plant is stronger and more easily grown. 
RED PHIPPS 
(Briggs). Mid-season. Ridgway: Spectrum Red. 
A free flowering real red that is going to go places in the next few years. A 
red that is red. Many open on a fine tall stem. 
DARK RED 
ARABIA 
(Hinkle). Early mid-season. Ridgway: Bordeaux, shaded black. 
The black Glad. Better than Marocco in one respect in that the stems are al¬ 
ways straight. Valuable because the blooms are regular in form, and dependable. 
Does not burn in the hottest sun- Easily grown. A heavy stretchy spike. Purplish 
black red.
