red and of medium height is Puck, a true 
ripe-orange color. Wide spreading, point¬ 
ed and recurved petals on a slender stem 
makes this popular as a florists or bou¬ 
quet variety. Because some folks declare 
he is impudent we call him Puck. Most 
folks say he is well named. Londonderry, 
another of the big boys, throws a sheen of 
bronze over the orange. Grand Slam, an 
orange sport of Pfitzer’s Triumph, has the 
large florets of that variety without Tri¬ 
umph’s proneness to every disease in the 
catalog. Jocelyn had best be bloomed out 
inside where the sun does not hit it. It 
is a beautiful large medium orange. Be¬ 
tween these large ones and the little fel¬ 
lows is Miss Pocatello, three inches wide 
on tall stems, six open in a beautiful 
blending of medium orange and lavender. 
The smallest in this class is Amelita Galli- 
Curci, a prim of deep coloring on long 
wirey stems. Somewhat lighter orange is 
Orange Sovereign, one of the most de¬ 
pendable. Large florets, a strong grower 
with fine position this one is first class. 
Apricot shades are classified with orange. 
Brightsides, a brilliant combination of 
yellow, orange and red, irregular in color¬ 
ing, is always admired by visitors to the 
garden. Medium size. Also medium in 
size is Yakima Apricot, red-orange shad¬ 
ing to a yellow throat and one of the 
earliest we grow. One Eastern grower 
of cut flowers reports cutting two spikes 
for every large bulb planted last year. 
These were the first to bloom and were 
quickly sold to a florist at good prices. 
Paradise is a clear apricot, cup-shaped 
and reliable. 
BUFFS 
Rather an indefinite color in Glads. 
Duna is sometimes placed here, but Wa- 
saga, despite its weak constitution, is a 
better representative of the color. The 
best one is Hercules, a very tall growing 
sort, large square florets with a touch of 
pinkish-orange. Resolute, a light buff, 
flecked rose with narrow crimson feather, 
is a fine decorative. 
YELLOW TO GOLD 
In between orange-buffs and yellows 
are several very fine varieties that do 
not belong in either class. Betty Nut- 
hall, a very tall late bloomer, is light 
orange blended pinkish and one of the. 
most popular. Abe, much earlier than the 
last, has the same beautiful blending of 
color with perhaps a touch more pink or 
reddish tone. Both are top notch kinds, 
good additions to any garden. 
While there are hundreds of yellow 
varieties, good ones are none too plentiful. 
Our own Emeline Manning is the lightest 
in this color, a pale yellow, but because 
of the beautifully blended pinkish tone, 
it appears deeper. It must have plenty 
of fertility and moisture if it is to give 
good results, which are spikes five feet 
tall with about six cup-shaped florets 
open, somewhat wide apart on willowy 
stems. On the New York City flower 
market Emeline Manning is given a very 
high rating as a florists sort. The buds 
are especially beautiful, resembling long, 
pointed rosebuds as they unroll. A little 
deeper in color, equally beautiful but an 
entirely different flower is Ruffled 
Beauty. Does not grow so tall as Eme¬ 
line Manning but has a larger and square 
shaped floret with about five open. We 
take many advance orders for this one 
and acclimated stock is scarce. 
Still deeper yellow is found in Yellow 
Emperor, a medium sized wide open floret 
on good stems that make it fine for floral 
work. Golden Chimes and Golden Fleece 
are tall growers with large florets, but 
in this particular section we place the 
new Harvest Moon at the top. With us 
it is a reliable performer. Jonquill, deep¬ 
er colored, is not so large but opens six 
beautifully shaped florets. Royal Gold is 
the finest real deep gold, but so far it is 
a poor performer with us and we will 
wait another year before recommending 
it. The deepest gold of all is Prairie Gold, 
tall slender stems with four open in a 
reddish gold closely approaching bronze. 
Reliable and one everyone should know. 
Drogonette is an “In Between.” It 
gets its name from its close resemblance 
to a large snapdragon and is the smallest 
floret we have ever seen in a glad. They 
are cup-shaped in a beautiful shade of 
medium yellow with bright pink blotches 
irregularly placed on the petals. Some¬ 
times the order is reversed and the yel¬ 
low is in blotches on a pink ground but 
in either case the result is a beautiful 
novelty with great bouquet and corsage 
value. Naturally the spikes are medium 
tall. A grand performer. 
BLUES 
The nearest to a real blue we have 
seen is Milford, a fine tall growing light 
violet-blue with large florets and the 
most disease resistant in this class of 
notoriously weak sisters. Champlain is 
a shade lighter and about the same size, 
while Ave Maria is somewhat deeper col¬ 
ored with a touch of red in the throat. 
Pelegrini is a dark “blue”, a tall grower. 
Vienna Woods and Blue Admiral both 
have clean dark violet-blue color and are 
good performers. Blue Delight, medium 
size, from New Zealand has a reddish 
tint over the “blue.” 
PURPLES 
Brings another squabble. Charles 
Dickens is rated purple but to us it is far 
more red than blue. It is reliable and 
popular. The color chart shows Kulshan 
as a red-violet but we prefer to call it a 
light purple. It is almost a self color, 
just a touch of cream dusted in the 
throat, a tall grower with six or more
