JEANIE (Pruitt) 85 *—tf{{f Dec. Com. 
What a beauty! Bright, glistening light 
salmon, clean and clear of all flecking, 
with white, raised midribs and blending 
into light cream throat. Color is unbe- 
lievably rich. Unless you see it we doubt 
we can do it justice with mere words. It’s 
cheap enough for you to find out for your- 
self. We had been growing it prior to last 
year and left it out of last catalog by ac- 
cident, so we gave out many sample 
bulbs to try. We could fill so many pages 
with the commendation it received that we 
would not know which to select. 5 inch 
florets, 5-6 open, tall, strong, wiry stem, 
good propagator. If we have not con- 
vinced you that we are convinced of the 
outstanding quality of Jeanie, both for 
show bench and for cut flower, then just 
risk a dime or 15 cents for a bulb and find 
out first hand. No free bulbs of Jeanie 
this year. Firsts at Midwest, Utah, 
Sioux City, Sheboygan and we won with 
it ourselves at Wellsville, Mich., and Mid- 
west, all 41. L .25 M .15 S .10 (Blts

SEE Ti Exbo ss (bicardys x Virsa 
Errey) ’39-’40 introduction in N. Z. Soft, 
medium tone of pink with conspicuous 
orange scarlet throat blotch. Quite large 
florets, well placed, up to 10 open on long 
flowerhead and stem. Mr. Toon, the 
well known N. Z. hybridizer, says it is

PICARDY 90 **—ttt Exh. Long, straight 
spikes of clear light salmon, not far re- 
moved from apricot buff. Has been con- 
sidered the world’s most popular glad for 
about 5 years, and so often grand champion 
spike that we refer you to our page re- 
cording grand champions to conserve 
space. Easy propagation makes the price 
seem ridiculous and a waste of time to 
bother with bulbs in the smaller sizes. In 
fact, the world is so smothered with 
Picardy that any friend who grows glads 
will give you some. So, in spite of the 
fact it is still considered the world’s best 
glad by the average fan, it is over the 
peak, definitely, and likely the item will 
have to give way to H. B. Pitt in our 
catalog next year. L .05 (100, 3.00) 
DEEP SALMON 
ALADDIN 85 ***—t7t{f{ Exh. Soft tones of 
salmon pink, creamy blotch with some 
cream along the mid ribs of the petals. 
Immense florets, widely expanded, some- 
what waved, well over 6 inches dia., 8-10 
open, about 20 buds. One of the very best 
of the Palmer varieties. If he could 
make it over the only suggestion we could 
make would be a little more length of 
stem, bit stretchier flower head. However, 
as is, it takes something to beat it in the 
shows. We record 20 wins for ’41, includ- 
ing section champ at Wisc. and Grand 
Champion at East Bay. L. 15 M_ .08
