DEPENDABLE GLADS 
7 
LAVENDER 
BERTY SNOW 
(Mair). Mid-season. Ridgway: Pale Rosolane Purple, with light mid-rib. 
(25th). 
One of the good ones. This fine Glad from Scotland used to flake badly, but has 
been coming clear the last two or three years. Almost as good as Minuet here. Bet¬ 
ter in one respect because it has more open. Stems always straight and tall, blooms 
large and well placed. The color is a pinkish lavender, mellow and clear, with white 
throat. 
CAPT. BOYNTON 
(Boynton). Early. Ridgway: Mallow Pink, feather Aster Purple. (43rd in 
1930). 
A very popular Glad on account of its color, which is a soft lavender with con¬ 
trasting darker feather. Extremely tall graceful spikes. Only a few open, but large 
and full. 
DR. MOODY 
(Kinyon). Mid-season. Ridgway: Phlox Pink. (26th). 
This Glad did not change position in the rankings. Many open, but somewhat 
crowded on the spike, and not quite so large and wide-open as Minuet. A blue-toned 
lavender. Heavy plant. 
JANE ADDAMS 
(Decorah). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Rosolane Pink, blotch Naphthalene 
Yellow. (28th). 
It takes high culture with plenty of moisture to get the stems tall enough. But 
that big Amaryllis-like wide-open, flat, perfectly shaped flower is not matched any¬ 
where else. Only two or three open, but their size and clear beauty make up for it. 
It comes clear now regularly. The feature of this Glad is its incomparable ability 
to bloom out when cut and taken indoors. Its real beauty appears after a day or so 
indoors. The bulbs divide, sending up spikes all through the season. 
MINUET 
(Coleman). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Mallow Pink. (1st). 
Now the world’s finest Glad, being in first place in the National Vote. This Glad 
has about everything a Glad should have, except possibly there are not quite enough 
open at one time. No sign of lessening of its qualities as the years pass. Its mallow 
pink color is a very popular color. 
MRS. F. C. PETERS 
(Fischer). Late. Ridgway: Pale Rosolane Purple, blotch Amaranth Purple. 
(33rd). 
Another Glad that did not change positions, being 33rd last year- It is an old 
variety, but stays as good as it ever was- It never varies, sending up perfect blooms 
in all kinds of weather and in all seasons. It is what we mean when we say depend¬ 
able. Very tall graceful spike, with several fine flowers of perfect form and place¬ 
ment. Color is a beautiful rose-lilac with dark blotch. 
ROYAL LAVENDER 
(Schleider). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Mallow Purple. 
The largest of the lavenders except Jane Addams. The spike is not so tall as the 
others. The color is a deep lavender, bright and clear. 
PURPLE 
CHAS. DICKENS 
(Pfitzer). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Aster Purple, blotch Amaranth Pur¬ 
ple. (37th). 
Probably the best in purples. Exceedingly tall graceful spike, with a fine flow¬ 
er head. Perfectly placed, brilliant, reddish purple blooms of fine form. 
PAUL PFITZER 
(Pfitzer). Early mid-season. Ridgway: Amaranth Purple. (36th). 
A bright gorgeous purple, clear, clean and dazzling. The blooms are of fine 
form on a fine spike. Not far behind Chas. Dickens. The color is more royal.
