Ruffled scarlet. A bit deeper than Alzon- 
quin and color practically clear. 5 inch 
florets, 21 buds, 8 open, 31 inch flower-

Champion seedling, winning American

Stella Antisdale has turned in a perfor- 
mance equal to that. ‘‘Honorable Men- 
tion,’ (a step towards A. M.) at E. S. 
G. S., '40. Its best performance, ’41, was 
at S. E. Mich., where it had to beat one 
of the best spikes in the show (Rod ey) 
just to get its blue ribbon. This spike then 
became section and finally grand cham- 
pion and won the N. E. G. S. Silver Medal.

maroon, somewhat marbled. Makes tall, 
symmetrical exhibition spikes, 10 open,

E. S. G. S. and our 1st Mich. where it 
scored 85 points, exceeded only by Peggy 
Lou, all ’39. E. Bay, Md., Mich., Wash.,

MIDNIGHT RED (Rich) 70 *—f{ Exh. 
Com. Very dark red, velvety and glisten- 
ing. Small cream stripe on lip. Wide open, 
plain petalled florets with excellent ar- 
rangement which one may rely upon for 
consistency. Straight, strong, tall spikes. 
florets on medium tall plants. Bulblets 
often bloom. Good propagator. Very 
popular. Took a nose dive in the C. G. S. 
Symposium mainly because the voters 
realized it hardly deserved the very top 
position it held in the previous one. Rates

LIGHT ROSE—60 Series 
COUTTS’ ORCHID (Coutts) 84 **—ttt 
Exh. Com. Immense, round petalled florets 
of smooth, unmarked light orchid rose with 
cream throat. Hasa tendency to produce a 
quarter inch lighter edging, or halo. Very 
healthy grower. Stands up straight. Sub- 
stance excellent. Good cut flower traits 
and the only doubtful item was cleared 
up by another year of growing. Our plant- 
ing stock sizes gave us a generous supply 
of bulblets. Bulblet germination is very 
satisfactory. In Canada we have seen 
spikes with 8 open and 10 more buds all 
in color. Ours have done almost as well. 
We doubt much if this glad has any fault 
whatever and the color is beyond re- 
proach. Award of Merit by Canadian Glad. 
Soc. in ’39. Firsts at Calgary and Ohio 
(where our customer’s spike beat our own 
good entry). At S. E. Mich. we won 
with grand spikes in Recent Intro. 
section and for ‘‘Best Canadian Intro.’’, 
which latter also won the Canadian Glad. 
Soc. Medal. At Mich. state show our 
entries were the sensation of the show, 
winning in the Recent Intro. section and 3
