A BLUE BOOK OF RARE GLADS 
ing “barbaric” beauty; means just that; a riot of blazing 
lavendar and reddish purple; spike fine; 6 or more open; 
good grower too. NOVELTY. 
MRS. E. J. HEATON*—(Heaton)—Bll—Truly a coming 
commercial variety; has fine color, soft rich salmon with 
huge yellow throat blotches; about 7 open on tall spike; 
good from small bulbs and is a fine propagator. By all 
means, if you grow commercially, invest in this one. Drought 
resistant. 
MAID OF ORLEANS*—(Pfitzer)—B2—Described by some 
as cream, but to me a pure live white with a touch of 
cream in throat; 6 open; tall and fairly early; fair prop¬ 
agator; MUCH IN DEMAND; very fine. 
NORTHERN LIGHT— (Kunderd)—A23—Best of Kunderd 
originations for some years; rich rose red; a large flower; 
8 open; tall; won over Picardy for best spike in Indiana

NINO MARTINI*—(Nitchman)—A21—This variety was de¬

rose pink; will stand an extraordinary amount of heat after 
cut; opens up to 10 on TALL spike; slow to medium prop¬

Australia; is now in large demand there. Try it.

opens 10; very graceful; good spike; fine decorative; will 
surely become a good commercial; color is clear amber, 
between medium yellow and light orange. 
ORANGE DELIGHT*—(Kunderd)—D9—A winner picked 
by Louie Fischer; color is fine bit.erswaet oiange, j nd 
shape and size are desirable for miniature work; will go 
far; about 5 open; medium .height. 
PRAIRIE GOLD*— (Corrington)—C9—Called by some a 
deep yellow; 1 prefer to cLll it the most artistic shade of 
light orange I have ever seen; a sure winner on my field; 
baskets of it are wonderful; 6 or more open; medium to 
large size florets; wonderful grower and propagator. Extra 
good. 
. .PICARDY*—(Palmer)—All—A glad that is fast losing
