A BLUE BOOK OF RARE GLADS 
cream blotch on lower petal. Fine substance; opens 5; tall; 
good propagator. Worth trying for commercial or exhibit sort. 
BLUE ADMIRAL—(Christ)—B28—Still considered the best 
of the darker blues in lower pricei ranges; fair propagator; 
6 open; straight always; larger than Pelegrina, its rival. 
BOB WHITE—(Zimmer)—B3—Considered fine commercial 
white; opens 7; tall; placed right; extra good propagator; 
pure Avhite; lower petal has small heart blotch of rich rose. 
Attractive. 
CANZONETTA—(Christ)-—All—My choice for richest col¬ 
ored glad; rich warm salmon self; ruffled and frilled: with 10 
or more open; slow propagator; superior to anything in its 
color class. I’d just as soon keep what I have of it, which isn’t 
much. However, if you want some, 0. K. 
COQUETTE*—(Palmer)—C13—Fine artistic color. Will 
have to have an eye for color to appreciate this one. Opens 5; 
stems sometimes crook a little; florets about 4 inches. What 
a color! 
CHAMPION—(Mair)—B24—Huge florets of deep rich laven- 
dar; opens 6; plant very heavy; stake it. Like almost all 
Mair varieties, somewhat slow propagator. Good grower. 
DECEMBER SNOW*—(Nitchman)—B1—Here’s a white that 
is warm and clear, verging on cream; opens about 6 to 8; 
good grower; should become a leader over Maid of Orleans; 
jnust be seen in quantity to be appreciated; warmth of color 
makes it outstanding. Midseason. 
D. A. HAY—(Whiteley—Bll—Nice clear pink with creamy 
throat; not so good to my taste, but it won a F. C. C. at 
Ballarat, Australia, the past season. Some say will make a 
commercial; 6 open. 
DREAM OF BEAUTY*—(Zimmer)—A23—Here is an exhibi¬ 
tion variety that, grown right, will make you gasp. Color is 
a real “Dream,” rich American Beauty rose; 8 open; tall; 
sometimes a bit bad spaced between florets; however, this is 
a real acquisition. Good for hybridizing. 
DLTNA—(Palmer)—B8—Grow this one well and you will 
have a real flower. I prefer it to Picardy for real beauty; 
opens 7. Try it with blue delphinium, pink asters. Oh Boy! 
Propagates too.
