very tall crystal or sparkling white, but in the late blooming class, and a fine rugged 
grower. SURFSIDE is very consistent. Last but not least our own HEAVENLY 
WHITE will in a short time take its place along beside Rosa Van Lima, of which it 
is a sport, as one of tke best, most consistent growers of all. 
To me none We have ever tried can compete with MOTHER KADEL as a yellow. 
The reports from all parts of the country, including Porto Rico, are none but the best. 
INTERMEZZO is another exceptionally consistent grower in the cream class. WANDA, 
another Picardy sport, is a fine cream also, Of the newer lavenders BADGER BEAU- 
TY is my choice, although ELIZABETH THE QUEEN is a beauty, but even then, I 
think both may come a little short, under poor growing conditions, but I haven’t seen 
a good, tall, lanky, commercial lavender yet. 
ROCKET and VALERIA are still outstanding. Valeria is the tallest, but a little 
slow on the increase. BLAZE, a Picardy type red, looks real good, but I am told 
STOPLIGHT is better, although ours froze September 11th, before they bloomed. It is 
a fine grower and producer. 
I like XERXES, believe it or not, and think it will sell in any florist shop. A 
peculiar color but nice. I’m increasing my own stock. I can’t help mentioning BIG 
TOP. While not necessarily a commercial type, its size and length are something 
to talk about. I could mention many more but those named have been given a good 
thorough trial for two or more years, and look good from the commercial angle. 
HEAVENLY WHITE 
COLOR SPORT OF ROSA VAN LIMA 
Our first introduction. Has won Honorable Mention in Seedling Class 1942, and 
Award of Commendation 1943, at our State Shows. In 1942 we cut a single spike with 
two open on Tuesday and placed it in one of our local meat market coolers, with a 
temperature of nearly freezing. The following Saturday, it held 10 huge beautifully 
placed blooms wide open to win the Honorable Mention at one of our State Seedling 
Shows. 
The color is a sparkling blue white resembling the white clouds floating in a blue 
sky. Some have called it a very pale lavender, but personally I cannot see it as a 
lavender. At a short distance it’s just a pure white with a faint lavender marking in 
the throat. 
Like its parent plant, it is a robust, heavy grower, making quantities of bulblets 
that will grow for anyone. Its commercial possibilities should be even better than 
Rosa Van Lima itself. We bought Rosa Van Lima in quantity the first year of its 
introduction into this country and frankly it has made us more money than any other 
variety in our 15 years of growing glads. We are sure that HEAVENLY WHITE wiil 
come through also. 
However, we only ask you to give it a trial and if you do not think it worthy of 
the name and price, we will gladly return your money in full. It’s what you think that 
will make it or defeat it. 
Price for either large or medium bulbs only $2.00 each. No bulblets this year, and 
not more than three bulbs to a customer. No discount.
