MY 1938 INTRODUCTION 
OREGON ROSE (Mitsch - Brandon) | 
| 36-6-9. A bright deep rose glad with an | 
| ivory white edge an eighth of an inch | 
| wide around every petal. Florets aver- 1 
| age 5 to 6 inches across, the tip florets | 
1 are almost as large as the first ones. | 
| Opens 8 to 12 at one time on a 16-bud | 
| spike under ordinary field culture, have § 
| never seen one misplaced, they are 1 
| slightly ruffled and of heavy substance. | 
| Stems are strong and always straight. 1 
| Will be a strong contender for exhibition | 
1 and while it sends some stubby spikes | 
| under poor culture or when planted 1 
| shallow, it should have some commercial | 
| possibilities for the color really gets at- 1 
| tention and most people like it very | 
| much. Being a Picardy seedling it is a | 
| good healthy grower, makes quite a lot | 
| of bulblets which have germinated well | 
| and made heavy growth for me. It has 1 
| bloomed 10 days earlier than Picardy | 
| for me. Should be grown from a large 1 
| bulb for a specimen spike. 
REPORTS—Read what others think | 
| of it. 1 
Legion trial grounds, E. A. Lins: “We 1 
| will certainly O. K. OREGON ROSE. | 
| Ht. 50 in., 20 buds, 5 V 2 in. florets, 5 open = 
| in hottest weather.” 
E. G., Burlington, Vt.: “I surely do 1 
I like OREGON ROSE—the color is so | 
| different and I think most people would | 
| call it very pretty, the women espe- 1 
| cially.” 
M. A. G., Lakeview, Oregon: “ORE- | 
1 GON ROSE is one of the most striking | 
| glads I have ever seen.” 
W. L., Elwood, Indiana: “I like ORE- § 
| GON ROSE very much for two reasons: § 
| first the color is good and, second, it is 1 
1 an early bloomer. It opened six nice | 
| big florets on a straight spike. Will prove | 
1 valuable for cutting as there is no other 1 
1 early glad in the color class.”

COMMERCIAL GROWERS, you will | 
| be wanting this variety for your own = 
| lists, as four nationally known growers | 
| have already purchased stock. I honest- 1 
| ly believe it has commercial possibilities | 
| in addition to being a good bulb item. |

MOONLIGHT LADY (Brandon—1939) | 
| 36-4V2-6. Deep cream or pale yellow 1 
| without marking. A sport of Gladdie | 
| Boy and identical but for color. This 1 
| has lovely ruffled form and is extra | 
| early. Very prolific but bulblets seem a 1 
| bit slow to germinate at times. Worst | 
| fault is that it occasionally comes flaked | 
| pink. Being the earliest cream and | 
| among the earliest of all to bloom it | 
| should find a place for itself but prob- i 
1 ably won’t receive more than a passing | 
| glance later in the season, excepting | 
| from the lovers of the decorative type. 1 
| The picture is a snap taken from a | 
| medium bulb spike. I “put off” getting a 1 
| good photo until too late. I sent bulbs of | 
| this variety to a number of growers and | 
1 fans in all parts of the U. S. last year for | 
| trial. Two did not bloom it and two did | 
| not think much of it. The balance were 1 
| enthusiastic. Here are some of the re- | 
| ports: § 
C. F. K., Detroit, Mich.: “Moonlight | 
| Lady won our hearts.” 
E. A. Lins, Legion trial grounds: “Ht. | 
| 60 in. 16 buds, 5V2 in. florets, 6-7 open. | 
p Very good and OK’d. Hard to credit a | 
| sport of G. B. with this much vigor.” 
F. W. G. Philippi, W. Va.: “Although I | 
| specialize in early varieties, Moonlight | 
| Lady was one of the first two to bloom. | 
| Ought to be a good florist variety. The i 
| color is pleasing, shape and placement 1 
| good, straight spike, produces seed and | 
| does not go dormant early but produces | 
| piles of bulblets and large bulbs even | 
| from tiny bulbs.” | 
W. L., Elwood, Ind.: “Moonlight Lady 1 
| sure grew tall for me and the color was | 
f very good. Had 8 open on each spike in § 
| the field. Of your two seedlings I prefer | 
| Moonlight Lady.” | 
Any size bulbs, 50c each. Bulblets |

violet. Can be grown to great size but is a bit 
unreliable, early. Bulblets very hard to germi¬ 
nate. Introduced at $130 a bulb, just 10 years 
ago. L 2—15c, M 2—10c. 
BOBBY DOUGLAS (Rademacher). A very 
rare white from Australia. Somewhat like 
Albatross, not as tall but better facing and 
more open, a healthier grower, blooms much 
later. L 2—15c, M 4—15c, S 4—10c. 
BRILLIANT (Prins) 32-3-3. Fiery red, this 
is a hybrid baby glad and crooks, artistic 
but seems very late here. L 1—15c, M 1—10c. 
CHRISTABEL (Mitsch) 46-5-8. Soft pure 
light pink with small cream blotch. Late mid¬ 
season, exhibition type. One of the most 
beautiful glads and a good grower. L 2—15c, 
M 2—10c, S 6—10c, B Pkg. 10c. 
COL. CHARLES LINDBERGH (Kunderd) 
42-5 1 /i>-8. Deep rose lavender, cream blotch, 
peppered violet. Ruffled. This is one of the 
finest lavenders. L 2—15c, M 2—10c, S 4—10c, 
B 20—10c.
