COMMENTS ON NEW VARIETIES 
For descriptions of the majority of Glads listed here, you are referred to my 1940 
Catalogue but as there are some that I have not listed before and others which im¬ 
pressed me differently the past season than previously, descriptions of some of these 
will be given here. 
Avalcn is a new large pink and cream of considerable promise. Another addition 
to the good commercial whites is Bellevue., From Picardy comes the creamy salmon 
Bingo. Rose colored Glads are rather scarce and Cordelia strikes a new color note 
in this section. Crystal showed up better in my garden this past year than before and 
gives promise of being one of our finer exhibition whites. Somewhat like Mrs. E. J. 
Heaton in type but in a light salmon orange color is Diane, a strong growing tall va¬ 
riety which should be good commercially. Caroline Werner Gannett makes huge 
spikes with large deep salmon florets blotched deeper. Don Bradman is an Australian 
variety with long spikes of buff salmon flowers. 
For both beauty of form and color, Glamis excels. It is a ruffled flower of clean 
rosy salmon with cream throat. Happy Days is one of the best new orange Glads, 
particularly in habit and vigor. Hildred is a deep lavender having many buds to a 
spike. Tall spikes and large flowers characterize Janet Purcell. It has wide open 
pink and cream florets. Laddie is a very large tall pink with deeper feather. Among the 
new reds, Master Myron gives promise of being a fine commercial with its tall spikes 
and large flowers of brilliant coloring. Matterhorn was again the outstanding exhibi¬ 
tion white in my planting. Somewhat like Laddie in color but of different form is the 
new variety from the Antipodes, New Zealand Splendour. 
While it was not so impressive before, Pfitzer’s Success looked very good this year. 
Queen Marilyn is a dainty pink and cream Glad with very slender graceful spikes. 
Rodney adds to the list of red Glads—this one being very large and deep in tone hav¬ 
ing a light throat penciled red. More red than rose perhaps, is Rose Monarch, a large 
exhibition type flower. With huge spikes of ruffled rose pink flowers, Sensation at¬ 
tracts much attention. Another addition to the “blues” is Shang Ri La, a me¬ 
dium blue with lighter throat. Sweet Alibi is a new ruffled deep pink which should 
make a good commercial. A beautiful light orange heavily ruffled flower is Vassar.
