DEPENDABLE GLADS 
5 
SHEILA 
(Coleman). Early. Ridgway: Strawberry Pink. 
This Glad will send up a tall spike and a good bloom under all sorts of conditions 
of soil and, climate, a thing that cannot be said of all Glads. From an early planting 
of assorted sizes and bulblets one may have a constant supply of blooms from July 
until frost. Not many open, but a pure salmon pink, large and showy. 
ORANGE 
LA PALOMA 
(Dusinberre). Early mid-season. Ridgway: Capucine Yellow to Mikado Orange. 
(40th). 
Almost a true orange. A tall Prim of good growing habits, throwing up many 
spikes. 
ORANGE WONDER 
(Kemp). Late. Ridgway: Deep Grenadine. (48th in 1932). 
This orange has no suggestion of Prim blood. Extremely heavy foliage and 
strong plant. The spike is not so stretchy as it might be, but the large blooms open 
up fine when cut. 
SCARLET 
AFLAME ( 
(Hornberger). Mid-season. Ridgway: Rose Doree, shaded Scarlet. (14th). 
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). Early mid-season. Ridgway: Scarlet. (9th). 
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 
others, like Betty Nuthall, seem specially designed for cutting, with their bunched 
foliage, tall straight regular spikes, and many fine buds showing color. A vivid scar¬ 
let. 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 weather and lots of moisture, or 
planted late, it is unbeatable. The hot sun crooks and burns it, and drouth makes 
the spikes 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. 
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. 
(6th). 
The world’s best real red. Grows to immense size, and wins wherever shown. 
A deep glistening glowing red, self color. Extremely tall, many open. 
RED GLORY 
(Piper). Mid-season. Ridgway: Carmine. 
A sport of Purple Glory. It has all the good qualities of the famous Purple 
Glory, but the color is a pure glistening red, and the plant is stronger and more easily 
grown.
