HORNBERGER’S HOME AND GARDEN SERVICE 
^MAMMOTH WHITE (Pfitzer) Med. Tall (Com.) 90-95 (5-6). Very large, pure white; 
5-6 open, often 6 inches across. Wonderful for exhibition; fair propagator. 
♦MARGARET FULTON (Ogrodnichok) Med. (Com.) 855-90 (3-4). Rich, deep salmon 
of an unusually solid color. Paint apricot in throat, no other markings. Fairly 
good propagator. 
MARMORA (Errey) Med. Tall 80-85 (4-5). Strong grower; 8-10 open; large flowers; 
eolor slate grey with pale purple blotch; an outstanding exhibition variety; in heavy 
demand. Good propagator. 
♦MILDRED LOUISE (Wentworth) Med. Tall (Com.) 85-90 (4-5). Soft orange pink 
Individual florets well open and perfectly placed. Straight spike. Fast propagator,. 
MILKMAID (Gilrey) Med. (Com.) 80-85 (3-4). W'hite. Tall, large flowers; many open; 
sometimes flecked with pink. Moderate propagator. 
♦MINUET (Coleman) Med. Tall (Com.) 80-85 (4-5). One of the best Glads ever listed 
Vigorous strong plant; heavy, long spike; a dear pinkish lavender; very large 
flowers, heavy substance; good replacement; 6-8 open; a keeper and shipper. T 
think it the best commercial we list. Minuet is a good grower and produces loads 
of bulblets but unless you use proper precautions they may not germinate well. 
We get as good germination as from any other. Good propagator. Read special 
“Minuet Letter” elsewhere. 
'♦MISS NEW ZEALAND (Julyn) Very tall (Com.) 85-90 (5-6). Reported as 7” to 8” hi 
New Zealand. Do not think it will average much larger than Aflame in the eatft, 
unless it has special soil and seed bed conditions. If you give very special soil eon 
ditions, I think you can often get 6*4” to 7” blooms. Salmon apricot, suffused 
rose, with peach colored blotch. Looks like a fair to good propagator after two 
season’s experience. 
MOROCCO (Pfitzer) Med. 80-85 (3-4). One of the extra dark reds, about as dark 
Persia but larger, taller and better; 6-8 open. Good propagator.

♦MRS. F. C. HORNBERGER (Hornberger) Med. Tall (Com.) 100-105 (3-4). After grow 
ing this variety many years and producing millions of bulbs under all kinds of 
soil and climatic conditions, we maintain this to be an A-l commercial white. 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 20, 1935—They state: “We are growing Glads for cut flowers for 
the florists’ 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.
