_My 21st year growing and selling glads. 
CRESTON, IOWA 
HAWKEYE RED (FOSS HEATON, 1944) 
The Reddest of the Reds 
One morning during the 1940 blooming season I noticed among the VAGABOND PRINCE 
blooms a blazing red, That miraculous plant certainly merited and secured meticulous atten- 
tion from me from that moment on. There was no doubt from the very first that it is a true 
sport of VAGABOND PRINCE. 
It retains very closely the familiar habits and qualities of VAGABOND PRINCE. Some- 
times I think it is perhaps slightly larger and more wide-open, but maybe not. Except for the 
color, VAGABOND PRINCE is a high-rating glad. As evidence of this there is its impressive 
show record of the past several years. 
I have never seen a richer, truer red in any flower. Best described as a brilliant deep 
crimson-red, with a deeper tone in the throat. I have never seen any sun-fading or rain- 
streaking. The color is crystal-clear and velvety-smooth, never any flecking or dullness appear- 
ing. 
The petals are broad, the blooms always correctly faced and spaced on a very tall graceful 
heavy spike, well above the heavy green foliage. And like VAGABOND PRINCE, a lot of 
flower on that spike. 
The blooms are firmly set to the spike, It is a fine keeper as a cut flower, blooming 
every bud, with no drooping of the spike. 
I firmly believe it is a worth-while addition to the red class. Being a true sport, it is 
settled in its habits and therefore dependable. 
With such a prolific glad the time to start it in your collection is now. Any size bulb, 
$5.00 each. Selected bulblets, 50c each, $5.00 per 12.
