LAVENDER AND GOLD 
NOWETA GARDENS 



DR. C. HOEG (Hoeg) (Mid-season) Glossy, 
velvety maroon with a fine line of silvery 
gray around the edge of each petal. Produces 
uniformly long spikes and has unusually clean- 
cut round florets. (L. 10-.50) (M. 10-.35) (S. 
10-.20) Bbts. 100-.15. 
DR. F. BENNETT (Diener) (Mid-season) Bril- 
liant, slightly ruffled scarlet with small white 
spear head in throat. An old favorite com- 
mercial. (L. 10-.50) (M. 10-.35) (S. 10- 
.20) Bbts. 100-.15. 
DISCOVERY (Baerman) (Early mid-season) It 
was Carl’s fortune to grow Discovery and 
Ophir, which Elmer Gove is introducing this 
year, from single seeds, original bulbs, and on 
for several years, growing them for Ralph 
Baerman. These sister seedlings were _ indi- 
vidual and distinct among the hundreds of 
other seedlings that bloomed each year. With 
much gratification he watches them come be- 
fore the public. Both are ruffled light yel- 
lows with a contrasting cherry blotch. Dis- 
covery has the larger florets and is taller, 
while Ophir is a deeper yellow with a sharp- 
er, more contrasting blotch. The latter is 
more prolific and a little earlier. With eager- 
ness we shall watch which becomes the most 
popular. Discovery won a first at the Iowa 
State Show in 1943. (L. 1-$1.50; 10-$12) (M. 
1-$1; 10-$8) (S. 1-.50) Bbts. 2-.25; 10-$1. 
DUNA (Palmer) (Mid-season) Exquisite soft 
flesh pink variety of commercial value. Love- 
ly warm color. (L. 10-.50) (M. 10-.35) (S. 
10-.20) Bbts. 100-.15. 
EARLY ROSE (Jack) (Early) Very popular 
pleasing shade of medium rose. A florists’ and 
fanciers’ favorite. (L. 2-.15; 10-.60) (M. 3- 
15; 10-.40) (S. 6-15; 10-.25) Bbts. 100-.20. 
EDITH GRACE (Harder) (Late) This would 
be a fine glad if its color were always clear. 
When grown well it is white with a rich wine 
blotch. Opens about 7 blooms on _ strong, 
straight, and tall stems. (L: 1-.15; 10-$1.10) 
(M. 1-.10; 10-.80) (S. 3-.15; 10-.40) Bbts. 
15-.15; 100-.50. 
EDVARD GRIEG_ (Prestgard) (Early) Best 
‘blue’ of recent introduction. Color similar 
to Ave Maria. Tall, opens 7 on a 19 bud spike 
from medium bulbs. Moderate propagator, 
but produces very large bulblets which germi- 
nate and grow well. (L.° 1-.35; 10-$2.80) (M. 
1-.25; 10-$2) (S. 1-.15) Bbts. 10-.15; 35- 
30. 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN (White) (Mid-season) 
This variety deserves the popularity thus far 
received and is destined to be grown for years 
to come. Beautiful shade of lavender with a 
darker line. Was inclined to be crowded from 
the large bulbs grown in Oregon this year. 
but the placement was perfect here. This 
lovely distinctive lavender is one of our ten 
favorite glads. (L. 1-.60; 10-$4.50) (M. I- 
.40) (S. 1-.30) Bbts 10-.50; 100-$4. 
ETHEL CAVE COLE (Cave) (Early) When well 
grown this light pure pink can be magnificent. 
We have also seen it when it was short and 
lacked color appeal. Strong husky grower. 
(L. 2-.20; 10-.80) (M. 2-.15; 10-.60) (S. 
3-.10) Bbts. 10-.10; 100-.50. 
FAIR ANGEL (Hatch) (Early) If glad fanciers 
could see the glorious blooms we grew of this 
variety this year, it would be a ‘must have” 
on everyone’s list. Won the grand championship 
at the Iowa State Show. Opens 7 or 8 slightly 
ruffed round white florets perfectly placed 
on a fine tall stem. Bears all the earmarks 
of an outstanding commercial. (L. 1-.60) (M. 
1-.40) (S. 1-.30) Bbts. 10-.35.
