Glorious Gleam llybridS"Sweet Scented 
Bodger’s Glorious Gleam Hybrids, 
Award of Merit, 32^/4 points, is a hy¬ 
brid mixture from crossing on Golden 
Gleam. There are several striking color 
and blends in the mixture and they 
come very true to form, half dwarf, 
semi-double, ruffled, fragrant flowers. 
The flowers are fine large, well formed 
sweet scented double, of the same type 
as the well known Golden Gleam. In 
habit of growth they also closely re¬ 
semble Golden Gleam, with semi-dwarf 
plants throwing short runners from 
well rounded free flowering bushes. 
The stems are long and bear the 
flowers well above the green of the 
foliage, giving the effect of a solid 
mass of color. The color range includes 
salmon, golden yellow, orange scarlet, 
cerise, cream yellow, orange, maroon, 
crimson, and many spotted varieties. 
By actual count 98% come double.

Scarlet Gleam --Sweet Scented 
Scarlet Gleam, second Gold Medal 
winner, 51^/4 points, is a rich scarlet 
counterpart to Golden Gleam, 1933 
Gold Medal winner. Half dwarf type, 
bushy with a few short runners, ruf¬ 
fled petals, semi-double, profuse flow¬ 
ering. 
Double Scarlet Gleam has been lik¬ 
ened to a huge fiery carpet spread over 
the ground. It is in fact the most in¬ 
tensely dazzling color one could imag¬ 
ine in a flower. Similar in habit of 
growth to Golden Gleam, the type of 
Golden Gleam 
1933 Recommendation 
Golden Gleam is semi-tall run¬ 
ning from 2 to 214 feet high. Sweet 
scented, with long stems. Plants 
form a vigorous, large bush which 
throws out short runners, averag¬ 
ing eighteen inches. The flowers 
commence as soon as the plant 
nears complete development, and 
at the time it is in full bloom the 
entire plant, including the runners 
is a blaze of color. Large golden 
yellow flowers average 2i/4 to 3 in. 
across. They are borne on erect, 
stiff stems six inches in length. 
Flowers stand well above the foli¬ 
age, which adds immeasurably to 
the showy appearance of the plant. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; 2 oz., 75c; 
14 lb., $1.25. 
doubleness found in the individual 
flowers is somewhat different from 
that known in the Golden Gleam. Scar¬ 
let Gleam is more or less plain petaled 
and deeper throated. The doubleness is 
caused by an overlapping of small pet¬ 
als toward the center. When grown 
under unfavorable conditions, there¬ 
fore, the throat has a tendency to show 
and the flowers appear but semi-double. 
When well grown, the general effect is 
that of complete doubleness. Pkt., 35c; 
14 oz., $1.50; oz., $2.50.
