A BLUE BOOK OF RARE GLADS 
SMILING MAESTRO*—(Christ)—A15—Hei’e is a variety 
that has already been acclaimed the best in its color class; 
ppens up to 12; huge deep pink, salmon rose self; tall; 
strong; good propagator; beautiful also. Read what other 
growers say about it. Stock more plentiful now than before 
f.nd no reason why you can’t have a bulb or more of it 
You’ll want more. 
SWEETHEART*—(Prestgard) ~C3—A rich PURE pink, 
completely shaded lively white; opens 6 five-inch florets on 
tall, wiry spike, no crooks. This variety, as mentioned in 
synopsis, is a new standard in BEAUTY—in fact I consider 
|t to be THE BEAUTY of all. Good propagator. Most florists 
haven’t seen it yet, but when they do, those who appreciate 
COLOR will immediately invest in it. A basket or spray 
f f it is OVERWHELMING. 
THE BOUNTY*—(Nitchman)—A20—Wrong description in 
last year’s catalogue; had this one and Martini mixed a 
J'ttle. The Bounty is a fine dark maroon and makes a spike 
like that of Swenson; twin rows of florets and opens to 10; 
dark rich maroon shade; good propagator; huge bits. Prob¬ 
ably the leader in this class. W. J. Warner, of Oregon, likes 
it very much, saying it grows straight as an arrow for hinu 
TOA—(Miller)—B16—An improvement over Pfitzer’s Tri¬ 
umph; not as rich a scarlet, however, but opens more; good 
propagator; 7 open; 6-inch florets. 
TREVONI AN*—(Hornberger)—B23—Rich rosy pink suf¬ 
fused with red; very fine with me and is a good coming 
■commercial; immense florets; 7 to 9 open, and a fine prop¬ 
agator. This will be very popular very soon, I believe. A 
basket of it is stunning Hornberger has given us SOME¬ 
THING in this one and Lights of Gold, both. 
TAIROA—(Miller)—A30—Mammoth spike with 7 six-inch 
florets open; did right well with me even in 100 degrees; 
an odd color, novelty class; promising variety; best from 
large bulbs. 
3 L O—(Burgess)—A22—Tall spike, 12 open; color just 
juediocre; be better if base color w r as more uniform; BIG 
however and in demand. You might like it, though. I don’t.
