BETTY FORD AND 
MAGNA BLANCA 
“BETTY FORD.” Another seedling being offered for the first time. Its 
size and habits are similar to Dixie Gold, but its color is a deep rose red. Will 
be tested in several trial gardens this year. A strong healthy grower. 
Decorative type. Long flower head. Blooms properly spaced, and face out¬ 
ward. Spike nicely tapered. 20 buds, diameter 4^2 in., open 5, in color 6. 
This beautiful Glad always grows straight spikes. After being cut the last 
bud opens same color as the first one, doesn’t fade or sun scald. Here is 
undoubtedly the finest rose red decorative ever produced. Didn’t get a good 
picture of it. Didn’t intend to introduce it until 1941, so we let the best ones 
get away. Makes fine red colored bulbs. Plenty of nice fat bulblets, easy 
to germinate. If you want a new one that’s worth while, you will be pleased 
with Betty Ford. 
Large bulbs $1.00 each; bulblets 10c each. Price will not be reduced 
next year.
