COMMANDER 
KOEHL 
(Illustrated on the front cover.) 
Is one of the most gorgeous red 
Glads on the market today. Its vivid 
color, good texture, long spikes, vig¬ 
orous growth, and large size have 
made it a general favorite and the 
volume of sales for this is on the in¬ 
crease. It is the winner of many 
prizes and is rapidly becoming one 
of the most popular Glads grown. 
Were it not for its one fault of im¬ 
perfect facing of the florets on many 
spikes, it would quite undoubtedly 
be the best red on the market. See 
inside of catalogue for prices. 
PELEGRINA 
(The blue shown here.) 
Is perhaps the most distinct break in 
color among the blues of recent in¬ 
troduction. Most of its predecessors, 
while in some cases being improve¬ 
ments over older varieties in some 
features, did not show such a dis¬ 
tinct advance in color. There are 
some, it is true, who do not care for 
the color of Pelegrina, but in com¬ 
paring individual florets of this with 
other blues, it may be found that the 
red and lavender tones are much less 
dominant in this than in others. 
There is still room for improvement 
both in color and length of flower 
head but in my estimation, this is a 
very worthwhile flower and if a new 
one is produced still more near the 
desired blue, it is very likely that 
this will be one of its parents. Un¬ 
fortunately, it is not a reliable seed 
or pollen producer in many localities.
