Blaze (1940) 
Several years ago we sent a few bulbs of 
this under seedling number to Richglad 
Garden. The following winter, in a writeup 
for the N. E. G. S. YEAR BOOK, he said: 
“In the reds, the thrill of the season was 
a light red Picardy seedling, but a RED 
PICARDY seems almost too good to be 
true.” 
He was referring to our No. 3433LR 
which was later named BLAZE icine intro- 
cquced by Richglad Garden. 
In. 1939. BLAZE under — seedling No. 
3433LR was given a COMMENDATION 
AWARD and in 1940 an AWARD OF 
MERIT by the MARYLAND TRIAL GAR- 
DENS. These awards are in pies Maes a 
recommendation. 
BLAZE is a pure light scarlet red self, 
opens the usual 5 to 6—4%% to 5 inch florets 
on a 4 foot willowy non-crooking spike. 
Excellent cutflower and also makes a good 
show spike. Very heavy propagator. BLAZE 
is often referred to as “A red Picardy.” 
Try it this year.

If you like brilliant sparkling color for 
your table and home decorations, try Dixie 
Belle, a beautiful sparkling ruffled orange; 
a harmonious lighter throat, peppered deep 
orange enhances its. beauty. 
Many varieties are classified ‘“orange’”’ 
but the orange in them must be left to the 
imagination. Dixie Belle, however, is true 
orange comparable to California oranges. 
Florets just right size for decorations—31,2 
‘in. on 3 to 3% foot spikes. You will love 
this charming ruffled orange variety. 
Dixie Belle has received a COMMENDA- 
TION AWARD and an AWARD OF MERIT 
from the NEW ENGLAND GLADIOLUS 
SOCIETY.
