“Thank you for the extras you sent me last Feb. They came out beautifully, iall 
CORONA, MERMAID and RED CHARM. MARGARET BEATON and LAGSHIP 
were so unusual. —hMDMiss Helen Kohler, Calif. 

*% kkk = =(LAKE) (Large For.) (Mid-season) Clear cream 
Lady Jane with yellow lip petals which gives the flower the 
appearance of yellow. In fact the wholesale florists in New York call it yellow and 
like it very much. Opens 6 to 8 large slightly ruffled blooms at once. Blooms always 
well placed and of fine texture. One of the best cut flower varieties. The buds stand 
out by themselves and give the spike a grand appearance when we are shipping 
to the big markets. One of the very best and one that will become a very popular 
cut flower and exhibition variety.

Lavender and Gold Prery Cane EL etalesmlicats 
lavender blending to a pure light yellow throat. Opens 5 four inch blooms on a tall 
slender stem. Blooms are gracefully arranged and with a fine color and slender 
wire'stem makes a very fine appearance. Some of the leading florists in Boston have 
given it their approval as a coming cut flower variety. Don’t get this variety if you 
are looking only for the big stuff but if you want the beautiful dainty kind this is it. 
Lavender Queen kkk CSSA) (Med. Dec.) (Mid-season) 
wen tctib casein ame aastan “ae Dar aanta eh eep violet lavender. Usually clear 
but sometimes flecked a little. Tall straight plant with 6-8 medium sized blooms 
open. The originator’s best lavender and a good one. 
Lavender Ruffles (V50%) (Med. Dec.) (Early, 69 days) 
Pinkish lavender of a beautiful clear, clean 
shade, somewhat ruffled. Opens several well arranged blooms on a medium height 
spike. This is a seedling of Minuet and I like it better. Its fine clean-cut appear- 
ance and earliness should make this a very popular variety. Has won many top 
awards at many shows. Think this variety has a future. Fine propagator. 
¢ (PRONOUNCED LA VENSHA) ***% (LuMsDEN) 
La Ventia (Large Dec.) 
(Mid-season) Cream with deeper cream throat. Buds rather greenish. Opens 10-12 
large nicely ruffled blooms on a long head. Plant often reaches 6 feet in height. 
Should make a fine commercial and one of the best exhibition varieties. 
. *%*&*&* «=(JoHNsTON) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) 
Leading Lady A white sport of Picardy which is a dupli- 
cate of Picardy except for the color which is a cream white with a canary yellow 
throat. Grows very tall like Picardy and in as much as we are rather short of a 
first class white it looks to me as if this was going to be the coming commercial 
white variety. Have been hearing a lot about this and getting a lot of inquiries. I 
believe it will push some of the other whites off the market. 
Le end * %&%& % «=O (FISCHER) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Light pure pink 
Legena blending to a rich ivory white throat. Several large 
wide open blooms open on a tall straight spike. A very beautiful variety and one 
that you will surely want. I never grew this till this past season but found it one 
of the very best. 
Lu cifer %*%*Y%. (Errey) (Medium For.) (Mid-season) Burnt orange 
with dark crimson blotch. An unusual color. Long 
spike with 8-10 well placed blooms open. Good exhibition variety and one of my 
customers who sells blooms says she couldn’t get enough of them to supply the 
demand. 
“CORONA and SENSATION were truly the outstanding glads of the season and 
among the very finest glads ever grown in my garden. FORT Tl and SUSQUEHANNA 
were also the tops with only one spike of each to view. DISCOVERY was also very 
nice. Mother was very enthusiastic about LEADING LADY and especially FAIR 
ANGEL.” i —M. C. Labrum, Va.
