of deep orange red which is tipped and dusted with creamy 
yellow. Robust grower that produces plenty of bulblets 
that germinate readily. 90 to 100 days to bloom. Opens 
up to eight four inch florets. 
DEBONAIR (Palmer). A rival of Picardy. Some 
like the color better. With us it grows taller than the 
latter and the spikes are uniform in height. Will open up 
to six, light pink florets on tall, strong, heavy stems. This 
is such a rapid propagator the price fell rapidly . It wins 
at the shows and is used extensively by florists. 
DREAM O’ BEAUTY (Zimmer). A large rose-red 
that catches the eye in the field, in the floral shop or on 
the show bench. It is hard to beat at the show and also 
hard to keep a supply on hand for florists because they 
demand so many. Some societies place it in the Mam¬ 
moth class, but few people produce spikes that should be 
placed there although it can be done. A strong grower 
and spikes are always straight. Placement not always 
good. 
DR. F. E. BENNETT (Diener). Many originators 
have introduced glads that were going to replace this one, 
but it is still going strong and winning at every show where 
well grown spikes are shown. A tall strong spike with six 
large bright scarlet florets. Facing and spacing, good. 
Darker in throat and three lower petals usually have 
light median lines. 
GOLDEN CUP (Palmer). A medium deep yellow with 
hair lines of red on all petals. Tall spikes that sometimes 
crook, but not bad. Five or six cup-shaped florets open. 
Earlier and lighter in color than Golden Dream. Good 
propagator. 
LIGHTS OF GOLD (Hornberger). A good color com¬ 
bination of pink and yellow. Florets are slightly ruffled
