oes Just a word to our many friends and customers relative to some of the newer varieties, as we see them. Alladin, a 
ease aS alge ruffled salmon, has taken the eye of many. Allegro we believe to be one of the nicest so called blues, Barcarole we 
‘like very much as a new orange. Coral Graces with the outstanding wine blotch in the throat, along with its early blooming 
‘time, is always attractive. Camano is still winning favor for its style and texture. Chaumony, a comparatively new rose is very 
attractive, but from our experience should be grown from the large bulbs. This was the Sweepstakes Glad at the California 
Show in 1940. Early Rose, voted the most popular Glad at the Pacific Northwest Glad Show does very well but should be 
'_- bloomed inside ias it does peel, even so it should be on one’s list for the early ones. James Fitzjames, Hindenberg’s Memory and 
Red Giant are valuable additions to any garden in; the better shades of red. Myrna was very outstanding and Margaret Beaton 
was our favorite of all that bloomed. We failed to have one visitor to the garden last year who did not fall for this one. May- 
pees is about as nice a pink as one would care to have. Maunga, Takina and Miss New Zealand all fall into the mammoth 
class, and good spikes of these are hard to beat. Vista Bonita and Wings of Song edge in here for their share of comment when 
_ well grown, Ranza, we believe, is going to be in demand as soon as it is better known. Goal we have bloomed one season but 
= From all appearance we believe it may outshine some of the originators varieties which are well known. Marlyn too, from the
