MINUET (Coleman) (Prop. A) Med.-Tall S (Com. F. C. 1) 80-85 (Exhib. A) 4-5x. 
One of the best -Glads ever listed; vigorous strong plant; heavy, long spike; a 
clear pinkish lavender; very large flowers, heavy substance; good placement; 
6-8 open; a keeper and shipper. I think it the best commercial we list. Minuet 
is a good grower arid produces loads of bulblets but unless you use proper 
precautions they may not germinate well. We get as good germination as from 
any other variety.

Strong plant; 5-6 open; good substance; crisp form; color doree-begonia rose; 
a very lovely color. 
MISS NEW ZEALAND (Julyn) Very tall, looks good after one season, but we do not 
have enough data to give rating this season, but performance first season has 
been very satisfactory. Salmon apricot, suffused rose, with peach colored blotch.

connoisseurs. A lovely and charming contrast of color; somewhat slow propa¬ 
gator but good grower.

of bulbs under all kinds of soil and climatic conditions, we maintain this to be an 
A 1 commercial white; included in the National Symposium for the last four 
years as one of the best 5 0 by national vote. A strong growing pure white; 
slightly frilled bloom; rapid propagator; large flowers, 6-8 open, sometimes 
more; very good keeper, a well known Buffalo florist says the best keeper they 
ever used. Its record of show winnings is too long to print here. It has won 
many medals and championship vases including the VAUGHAN’S BRONZE 
MEDAL. (A recent letter of approval:) CAMPBELL-FLINN NURSERY CO., 
TEXAS—April 2 0, 1935—They state:—“We are growing Glads for cut flowers 
for the florist’s trade. We have several thousand of the Mrs. F. C. Hornberger 
which we are beginning to cut now. I presume this is your own origination. I 
think it the finest white I have ever seen.’’—G. S. Flinn. NOTE: This per¬ 
formance on the Gulf coast of Texas last April is duplicated in Florida and 
other places where we sell large quantities of this variety.
