I am sure this lovely flower lias a great future both as a commercial and 
exhibition. Pronounced by one prominent grower as a perfect glad. Was given 
an award of merit at the Maryland trial gardens the past summer, bias given 
good account of itself everywhere grown, even standing up under the terrific 
heat and dry weather experienced the past two or three years in parts of the 
east. It is a true rival of the great Dr. Bennett, but much better in every way. 
Never crooks for me and scarcely ever has a flower out of place. Carries five 
to seven large ruffled flowers open at a time. Of fine substance and keeping 
quality. Has been called a pink by some but if it is a pink it is so pink it is red. 
A very soft red with a narrow mark of light cream in the throat. 
Do not miss getting started this year with this one.

One of our new introductions for 1938. Named for my wife. This is a wonder¬ 
ful glad. Very large and beautifully ruffled. In color it is grand; hard to 
describe. I will say a very rich salmon pink, with light buff throat mark. 
Almost a self color without flecking. Early bloomer, growing medium high. 
Stiff wiry stem that never crooks, but the flowers are so large and heavy it will 
bend the plant over if planted shallow in loose ground, as all large bulbs should 
be planted much deeper than most people plant them. I will say be sure and 
get them 5 or 6 inches under the level surface of the ground, not 5 or 6 inches 
under the top of the ridge thrown up in making the furrow and covering. This 
beautiful new variety has been bloomed four times the same as the other two 
new ones I am releasing along with it, making sure it is well established. Get 
started now and grow up with it.
