1944 BULB 
FLORA FARMER (Quackenbush) (Mid-season) 
Pure pink with cream throat. A _ fancier’s 
flower. Some of our spikes were very beauti- 
ful, while others were more ordinary. (L. 2- 
15; 10-.65) Bbts. 100-.25. 
FRANCES M. IRWIN (Wilson) (Late mid-sea- 
son) This glad comes in a color class that is 
hard to get. An appealing medium rose pink 
with a darker contrasting blotch. A fine flow- 
er in every way with fine long heads, but 
with us the lower florets start blooming about 
10 inches from the ground. Run-away propa- 
gator.) (le) 1-.30) 9) (MS 1-20) 9 (S.  -1-.15) 
Bbts. 10-.15; 100-$1. 
FRECKLES (Fischer) (Mid-season) One can 
easily see how this glad acquired its name. 
A sight worth seeing was a large vase of this 
coppery orange with itts brown ‘‘freckles” as 
exhibited in our living room last summer. 
Definitely ‘‘something different.’ (L.  1-.20; 
10-$1.50) (M. 1-.15;  10-$1.20) (S._ 1-.10; 
10-.80) Bbts. 20-.15. 
GARDENIA (Scheer) (Early) Although the 
glad is not at all similar to the gardenia flow- 
er, nevertheless, we liked this cream decora- 
tive glad. We have only grown it one year, 
but it looked promising as a commercial from 
what we saw of it. Wonderful propagator. 
(L. 2-.15;  10-.60) (M. 3-.15;  10-.40) (S. 
6-.15) Bbts. 100-.25. 
GLOAMING (Zimmer) (Early) One of the tall- 
est and most perfect cutting varieties we grow. 
Produces a graceful long ribbon of white 
throated light purple blooms. Some years its 
bulbs are subject to disease. (L. 10-.50)_ S. 
10-.25) Bbts. 100-.15. 
GOLDENHEART (Fischer) (Late) Golden yel- 
low blending to a rich light salmon at the 
edges in an almost picotee effect. It is an 
unusually vigorous grower. Planting stock 
accidentially mixed with a small tray of Snow- 
sprite so we are just offering large for sale. 
If someone wishes to try some medium or small, 
the usual price will be charged, but ample 
overcount will be given. (L. 10-.50). 
GOLDSTAUB (Pfitzer) (Early) The first yel- 
low to bloom. Fills the bill as a dependable 
early yellow commercial. (L. 10-.50) (M. 10- 
39) (S. 10-.20) Bbts  100-.15. 
GRETA GARBO (Pfitzer) (Mid-season) A pleas- 
tng color combination of pale apricot or buff 
pink. Opens 5 or 6 perfectly formed, finely 
placed flowers on a medium tall stem. Healthy 
grower and a rapid propagator. (L. 2-.20; 
10-.80) (M. 2-.15; 10-.50) (S. 3-.10) Bbts. 
15-.10; 100-.35. 
HARMONY (Fischer) (Late mid-season) Due 
to the fact that it was a poor propagator this 
year, Harmony disappointed us. In the past, 
it propagated as fast as Autumn Gold, but it 
took a beating from last year’s blight. We are 
hoping that after several years’ good growing, 
it will produce as many bulblets as it did for- 
merly. Harmony is immaculately beautiful 
with its five waxy, ruffled 6 inch florets on tall 
massive spikes. To obtain show table spikes 
this regal cream should be grown from large 
bulbs. (L. 1-.20; 10-$1.50) (M. 1-.15; 10- 
$1.20) (S. 1-.10) Bbts. 10-.20; 100-$1. 
HIGH FINANCE (Wilson) (Late mid-season) 
Smoky light orange gray with cream throat 
blotch. Since we haven’t seen much of this 
glad, it is difficult to adequately judge its per- 
formance. (L. 1-.35) (M. 1-.20) (S. 1-.15) 
Bbts. 10-.20; 100-$1. 
INTERMEZZO (Quackenbush) (Mid-season) This 
tall, healthy cream lacked clarity of color 
with us. Good grower. (L. 1-.25; 10-$2) 
(M. 1-.15; 10-$1.20) (S_ 1-.10; 10-.80) SBbts. 
100-.25.
