THE FOSS HEATON GLAD GARDENS, CRESTON, IOWA 
MRS. P. W. SISSON 
( Coleman). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Shrimp Pink. (19th). 
Very similar in growth and habits to Giant Nymph, but I regard the color as 
much more beautiful. A clear, rich, vivid light pink. Much more character to this 
Glad. 
RITA BECK 
(Fischer). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Shrimp Pink. (49th in 1931). 
Similar to Mrs. P. W. Sisson, but much larger. If it were more reliable in send¬ 
ing up the fine spikes it is capable of doing, it would be unbeatable. Some seasons 
no finer Glad on the farm. 
DARK PINK 
CATHERINE COLEMAN 
(Coleman). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Geranium Pink. (46th in 1932). 
The Glad with small slender leaves that extend along the spike, making cutting 
a little difficult. Capable of producing fine blooms. Extremely tall, perfect place¬ 
ment, nice form, and a pleasing geranium pink. 
MRS. LEON DOUGLAS 
(Diener). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Rose Doree. (10th). 
A very popular dark pink. It was first in the National Symposium a few years 
ago. Probably the tallest growing Glad, and very heavy foliage. But the flower 
head is not always perfect, and it has a slight tendency to crook. Very fine in spite 
of its faults. A live refreshing pink. 
MR. W. H. PHIPPS 
(Diener). Late. Ridgway: Light Geranium Pink. (5th). 
Has won first place in the A. G. S. Symposium more times than any other vari¬ 
ety. The Phipps habit of not always doing its best has lost it votes in recent years. 
At its best there has never been a more gorgeous Glad. It has become the stand-by 
pink for the florists. A fine true pink of great size, and many open. It can stand 
high culture. Unsurpassed for keeping qualities. 
WINGED VICTORY 
(Briggs). Mid-season. Ridgway: Geranium Pink, flaked Scarlet. 
It has probably the biggest florets in Glads. A rich pink, several open on a fine 
spike, and nicely placed. The petals are of the winged type, and appear too floppy 
for a good commercial. 
SALMON PINK 
BETTY NUTHALL 
(Salbach). Late. Ridgway: Bittersweet Pink., throat Pinard Yellow. (4th). 
The most outstanding introduction of recent years. The world wants a golden 
pink, or an orange pink, and this one comes near it. Extremely heavy foliage set low 
on a strong plant, making the spikes easy to cut. Always straight, very tall, fine 
spike, with many open. A very dependable and beautiful Glad. 
MILDRED LOUISE 
(Wentworth). Mid-season. Ridgway: Light Strawberry Pink. (26th). 
A large Prim of a beautiful salmon color. Very strong grower, and tall heavy 
spike. 
NETHERLAND PRINCE 
(Stevens). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Strawberry Pink. 
A very strong growing salmon Glad. Very tall fine spike with many fine large 
blooms. 
PICARDY i 
(Palmer). Early mid-season. Ridgway: Shrimp Pink. (1st). 
This Prim is now in first place in the symposium. Under high culture it is cap¬ 
able of producing extremely gorgeous spikes, the equal of any of the large-flowered 
kinds. But with ordinary culture, it is not above the average. Very prolific, and 
strong growing. A beautiful salmon pink.
