1939 INTRODUCTIONS 
TlrTVr'/al(Kelley) (Exhibition and Commercial) A wonderful 
oarceiono cream glad with a touch of yellow. Eight very large, 
somewhat ruffled, round blooms open at a time on a tall strong growing 
plant. This was one of the outstanding varieties last season. Barcelona won 
the Silver trophy at the Ohio Glad Show for the Champion Seedling. (No. 66) 
One of the best cream colored varieties yet introduced. A distinct type. When 
the stock of Barcelona gets more plentiful I believe it will be grown very 
extensively.
