COMMENTS ON NEW VARIETIES 
Since last spring’s catalogue was sent out, we have bloomed a number of new 
Glads and several that we had before have given us more pleasure and satisfaction 
than before. While our seedling patch bloomed early and the blooms were not, per¬ 
haps, better than usual, the season has, taking everything into consideration, given 
us the most good bloom that we have had for several seasons. 
First of all we shall mention the whites inasmuch as it seems that a number of 
worthy additions have come to us in this class recently. While not so pure a white 
as some of the others, Matterhorn was perhaps the most outstanding in our garden this 
year. Snowprincess is more creamy in tone and may be a bit more refined for cut 
flower use even though it has the size and other qualifications for the exhibition table. 
Vredenberg appeared the best of the real whites. For a dependable performer 
Success looks very promising. Edelweiss looked good and may prove the best for 
exhibition. Snow White is one of the cleanest in color being one of the first to have nc 
red dots deep in the throat. Myrna is a nice ruffled creamy white and should prove 
a fine commercial. In Crystal we have a huge exhibition variety which is sometimes 
lightly flushed with pink as it grows here. Ivory Keys, described by its name, is one 
of the best in its color. 
Blues, a former specialty here, do not seem to have advanced so rapidly recently 
as a few years ago. Of course, we are rather partial to Bluet with its white throat. 
Atlas is a good deep violet reminiscent of the older Aida, and Allegro remains per¬ 
haps the best light blue. At this writting, not all the yellows have bloomed but Royal 
Gold, a medium yellow was extra fine this year and Jasmine ushers in a new de¬ 
parture in this color, a light shade without trace of red dots in the throat. 
The other colors will be lumped together here as but few of each class will be 
mentioned. Similar in some respects to Amador but somewhat taller, perhaps, is 
Admiral. Aladdin, by its huge striking spikes has made itself quite widely known 
already. It is a real beauty in rich coral rose with white throat. One of the most 
beautiful light rose pinks I have grown is Capeheart. An outstanding new variety 
described by its name is Coral Glow (Ellis). Pinks with white throats are getting 
to be quite common but Flora Farmer seems one of the most worthy additions and 
in lighter tones. Carillon is beautiful. Greta Garbo in light buff pink tones looks 
promising. One of the finest put out by Pfitzer is his recent pink variety, Pfitzer’s 
Masterpiece. This was very fine this year. Regenbogen appears to be another of his 
best commercials with its long spikes of buff salmon flowers. Pruitt’s Valeria in 
rose red and Leona in red purple are good new cut flower varieties. It would take 
much space to describe all the good ones but this is a summary of a few of the better 
ones. Our own introductions have been quite good this season but descriptions of 
these may be found in our spring catalogue.
