HOME of RARE GLADS 
from fine tall foliage, carries about IS to 20 buds; germinate 
tine; bulbs are as clean and healthy as Albatross Is a 
seedling of Albatross by Maid of Orleans and inherits best 
qualities of each. Color is spotless, creamy white of a shade 
much cleaner than Maid of Orleans and not nearly as dead 
or lifeless as Albatross. Texture like that of The Bounty* 
and stands very hot sun, possibly like all glads waiting in 
hottest part of the day and freshening up at night. Have 
newer yet grown a variety that the florets would not droop 
in 1.10 degrees and don't believe there is a variety existing 
that will stand this. I am convinced Picardy will not do it. 
Very fine storage habits and a most promising increases, 
which bodes well for the commercial game so badly in need 
of better whites. Bloom comes in 90 days. Price—No Bits, 
to sell; any size bulb, $25.00 each. 
NINO MARTINI—1936— (Nitchman) —Type exhibition, opens 
eight; very tall, always straight, measures five feet, with a 
long cutting spike; ahvays places good; heavy substance, 
and an excellent keeper. Is a dark rose red in color and, 
like the two above varieties, is absolutely self, no marks. 
This variety will match Miss New 7 Zealand in spike size, al¬ 
though florets will measure about 5 to 6 inches across. A 
very delightful addition to the dark rose class, and will dis¬ 
place Dream of Beauty due to the misplacing of the latter’s 
florets. This variety makes huge bulblets and a fair amount. 
Germinates easily. We expect to grow this one for the 
wholesale cut flower market, as it is a wonderful cut flower 
variety and keeps well in storage. Buds and open florets lie 
close to stem like Margaret Fulton and wall pack nicely. 
Price—No Bits, to sell; any size bulb, $25.00 each. 
RAQUEL—1936—(Nitchman)—A monster exhibition cream 
with a spike so large and full that it will be an immediate 
sensation. Coupled in its makeup is a habit of producing 
huge amounts of Bits, which germinate easily. This variety 
will open 12 to 15 on an ahvays straight spike with large 
well-expanded, round florets placed as nearly perfect as wm 
have ever seen them on any glad. Truly a companion for 
McCoy, Picardy and any other giant with perfect placing. 
Basic color is medium cream, not dark enough to be called 
a light yellow 7 but wuirm enough to not be a rich white. The 
bottom petal carries a small feather of violet, setting this 
glad off nicely. It is not conspicuous and should be classed 
as a self. A fine cut variety. Price—any size—no Bits— 
$15.00 each.
