Elizabeth the Queen Kw. (WuiTE) (Large Dec) (Mid- 
meee tt as erat ee atte ta “Teter season) Clean fresh mauve 
with darker lines in the throat. Large, beautifully ruffled and fine form. Up to 7-8 
blooms open. Last year I said that the blooms were 51% inches across. This year 
they have been grown 61% inches. A very distinctive and beautiful lavender. See 
color plate on back cover, which was made from an oil painting. 
This has won many prizes and awards, and will surely become immensely 
popular. Some have reported that it did not grow tall, and it may be a little on the 
short side, but I have had many fine reports on it, typical of which are the following. 
Ralph Baerman, the well known grower from Minnesota and one of the best judges 
in the country, says, “‘From No. 5 bulbs Elizabeth the Queen was not only tall, but 
an exquisitely beautiful shade of lavender and one of the most thrillingly beautiful 
glad introductions I have seen for some time.” F. L. Bennett a commercial grower 
bf New York and Florida says, “‘I like Elizabeth VERY much. It is a beautiful 
flower.” 


“Oh! Boy! You have something in Elizabeth the Queen, a new-type glad- 
Ours from the No. 6 bulbs looked like Orchids. I’m very much pleased. with 
them.” —W.R. Hurst, Oregon. 
Eloise %*&*&%& = (DorrettT) (Med. Dec) (Mid-season) Clear dark lavender 
of distinct shade with a few darker lines in the throat. 8-10 
medium large blooms open on a long spike. Tall straight, slender stem. In some 
parts of the country this is considered the best commercial lavender, even better 
than Minuet. It opens more and is taller. Color is good. Good propagator. 
* * *&*&*Y (TurtLe) (Large For) (Early) Large smoky 
Emile Bride rose or rose gray, shading to real red in the 
throat. 8-10 well placed blooms open on a tall willowy spike. Fine for exhibition 
and home garden. Rather a slow propagator. 
Ethel] Cave-Cole ik %& =< (Cave) (Large For) (Early) Pure light 
comet rated _ tpt Se eee eet ealeeinaal pink, sometimes flecked. Very strong 
husky grower. Makes a large spike with 9-10 large well placed blooms on a head of 
20 to 24 total buds. Good for exhibition, commercial or home garden. See picture 
on page 26, which gives a better idea of it than I can with words. 
I % «=6(KUNDERD) (Large Dec) (Early) Bright scarlet 
Excellence with 5-6 blooms ‘open. A good commercial. The 
best early light red at a low price. 
< (Butr) (Large For) (Mid-season) Light red with whitish 
Flagship throat ernie penciled blue. 10-12 large well placed blooms 
open on a good height plant. Not so clean a color as I like but does make an impres- 
sive spike of bloom. Fine for exhibition. Has taken a lot of prizes, and I believe will 
be popular with those who like the big spikes but are not so particular about color. 
Flora Farmer Ke% VY, (QUACKENBUSH) (Med. Dec) (Mid- 
toad echt tinted Sore taco et atte tert season) Beautiful distinctive pure pink 
with creamy white throat. The color brightens toward the edge. Opens 5-6 or more 
somewhat ruffled blooms. A very pretty variety. 
< kk «6 (ZimmMER) «=(Med. Dec) (Mid-season) A purple 
Gloaming with white throat. Opens 7 or more medium size 
blooms on a tall straight slender stem. Florists like it. Fine for hybridizing as it 1s 
producing some very nice seedlings. 


“Last Spring | bought a list of Glads from you. You selected them for me and they 
certainly are beautiful. Everybody that sees them say, ‘That they are the finest they ever 
saw.” —Harry Wharton, Penn.
