Glistening clear white with a small

Opens 5 to 6 large beautifully shaped 
florets at once on straight spike. Legion 
Trial Garden, Spring Green, Wisconsin, 
reports: 
Height 50"; head length 22"; No. buds 
18; 5 open, 3 in color; 6" florets. Com¬ 
ments: “One of our favorite whites and 
an exhibition winner. There are few 
glads with better texture. Third, our 
first ten.” Our first year trial somewhat 
short flower head but white varieties 
usually produce short flower heads until 
bulbs are acclimated. Individual florets 
probably most beautiful we have grown. 
Mr. Burtner says this is his best origina¬ 
tion despite long list of prize-winnings 
of his red Del Ray, which is now rated 
one of the finest varieties in commerce.
