“This spring we purchased a small order of glads of you and I he blooms were the 
very best we have ever seen and (hat seems to be tire concensus of opinion here about." 
—William McKay Gordon, Brewer, Maine. 
Rosex 
Royal York *** 
★ (Ex) (Com) Light rose flecked with salmon orange. In¬ 
conspicuous rose blotch. 8-10 well placed blooms open on a 
long flower head. A fine variety but I am sorry to say is somewhat mixed with 
Maytime. Will put in extra count to make up for any rogues you might possibly 
receive. 
(I1G) (80) Deep scarlet with a hint of salmon. 
_ 5-6 very large wide open blooms. Very strong 
vigorous variety. Fine for the home garden and valuable in hybridizing. One of 
the parents of Aladdin, Recado and Titan, this year’s premium bulb. 
(Ex) (L1G) (85-90) Light russet with a soft blotch of 
Joliarq cream lightly peppered russet with scarlet penciling. 
10 medium size well placed blooms open on a tall straight spike. An unusual and 
popular color. Sure to be liked by those who prefer the brown or russet shades. 
Stands the hottest sun without wilting. I am sure you will like it. See picture inside 
front cover. 
★★★ (Com) (HG) Light shrimp pink with small diffused 
Jomrq pinkish amber blotch. Somewhat similar to Picardy but 
the color is set off just right by the amber blotch. Also similar to Picardy in habit 
and growth and fully as good a propagator. Many people consider this even more 
beautiful than Picardy. 
“'The Palmer varieties have them all beat for beauty and good performance. If 
there is ever a finer one than SANDRA I surely want to grow it. I got a bulb of it two 
years ago as a premium and have a nice supply now that I grew from bulblets the past 
year." — Harry E. Beardmore, Ohio. 
Sari ★★★ ( HG ) Earl y- Beautiful clear purple. 5-6 medium large blooms 
* open. An entirely different type from King Lear and somewhat 
lighter in color. 
Snow White 
New introduction. See page 15. 
S(*f ofa ★★★ (Com) (HG) Formerly sold under seedling No. BC25084. 
^ *****'** Late midseason. A very nice light orange. Several medium 
large blooms open on a long spike. Tall slender but upright plant. A number of 
people have written that this is the best orange they have seen. A good commercial. 
“7 want to put in a plug for Seedling BC25084 (SOLITA). While I have only 
a few I think I have enough to know that you have something in this one. It's the best 
orange Pve ever seen. You have made the statement that it is not as good as Bit O'Heaven, 
I think it is a lot better. I grow Bit O’Heaven also and on the same soil not far away 
I have BC25084 which right now has 8 open and 4 more showing color and the third 
floret from the bottom is 4% inches across, no stretching." 
—Arthur Seebach, Minneapolis, Minn. 
“The glad bulbs I received from you last spring came along fine. The extras 
BC25084 (SOLITA) and 27694 were extra fine." — Wm. H. Vogel, N. J. 
(Com) (LIG) (60-70) Beautiful clear deep 
yellow lightly ruffled. Only 4-5 medium 
large blooms open but very fine for florist use for an early yellow. Not so many 
open as Miss Bloomington or Clarion but more beautiful. 
★ ★★Vk (Com) (HG) Light rosy pink with clear cream 
blotch. 6-8 or more medium large blooms open 
on a tall straight spike with a flower head nearly as long as Debonair. 4'his seems 
to be a coming commercial variety. Very popular with the growers. 
“SYMPHONY I think is an exceptionally fine light or shell pink, strong grower 
with a tall straight spike and beautiful placed flower head. Should be a fine com¬ 
mercial glad." —W. A. Seebt, La.
