1944 BULB CATALOG 

9 
MEMORY OF HINDENBURG (Pfitzer) (Mid- NEW ERA (Ellis) (Mid-season) Exquisitely 
season) Proved to be very satisfactory as a cut pure pink blending to a white throat. The 
flower for us although the florets are a trifle 
too loosely attached to the stem. Has a happy 
faculty of having healthy bulbs and is very 
prolific. All in all it is a brighter, much im- 
proved version of Commander Koehl, the for- 
mer standard red. (L. 2-.15; 10-.60) (M. 
3-.15 10-.40) (S. 6-.15; 10-.25) Bbts. 100- 
20. 
MERMAID (Palmer) ,\Mid-season) <A_ rather 
plain but fine performing medium pink with 
cream blotch. Likely to succeed as-a com- 
mercial. (L. 1-.35; 10-$2.80)  (M. 1-.25) 
(S. 1-.15) Bbts.  10-.25. 
MILDRED LOUISE (Wentworth) (Mid-season) 
Still a dependable soft apricot salmon com- 
mercial somewhat similar to Picardy. (L. 10- 
50) (M. 10-.35) (S. 10-.20) Bbts. 100-.15. 
MINUET (Coleman) (Late) Remains today one 
of the standard commercial lavenders. Just 
the shade of lavender a glad should be with 
sparkling silky texture. Often the stem is 
short. (L. 10-.50) (M. 10-.35) (S. 10-.20) 
Bbts. 100-.15. 
MISTY DAWN (Rich) (Mid-season) Appropri- 
ately named since the brilliant throat blotch 
reminds one of the sun rising through the 
mists of a foggy morning. The large soft gray 
smoky florets are well arranged on substantial 
spikes. (L. 1-.25; 10-$2) (M. 1-.15) (S. 
1-.10) Bbts. 10-.10; 100-.50. 
MOHAWK (Stevens) (Late mid-season) A wel- 
come addition to the dark red class. Has a 
richer, more velvety luster than Black Opal, 
but not likely to displace it. Gave an excell- 
ent account of itself last summer. Opens a 
goodly number on a Straight stem. Fast pro- 
pagator. (L. 1-.30; 10-$2.40) (M. 1-.20; 
10-$1.60) (S. 1-.10; 10-.80) Bbts. 10-.20; 
100-$1. 
MOTHER KADEL  (Kadel) (Mid-season) A 
coming commercial yellow. Our opinion of 
this variety has elevated 100% after this past 
season’s blooming. Medium tall with 5 or 6 
open. (L. 1-.25) (M. = 1-.i5) (S. 1-.10) 
Bbts. 10-.15. 
MRS. MARK’S MEMORY (Pfitzer) (Mid-sea- 
son) One of the largest red violet glads. Un- 
happily, it is too loosely attached to be of com- 
mercial value. It is a giant, opening 6 large 
round plain-petaled florets. (L. 1-.75) (M. 
1-.40) (S. 1-.25) Bbts. 1-.10. 
MUSKOKA (Palmer) (Early) Fast propagating 
salmon smoky with deeper blotch. Because of 
its good habits it has possibilities of becoming 
a commercial. (L. 1-.40) (M. 1-.25) (S. 
1-.15) Bbts. 10-.15. 
MYRNA (Pruitt) (Early mid-season) A_ ruffled 
symphony in white.

Becoming more popular 
Good propagator. (L. 2-.15; 10- 
3-.15; 10-.40) (SS. 5-.15; 10-.25) 
100-.25. 
MYRTH (Fischer), (Early) This arrangement 
of color and grace has given us more pleasure 
than most any other variety we have produced, 
being an inspiration all summer. The trim, 
round, ruffled florets are so precisely arranged 
that one can look deep into the heart of every 
one of them. Myrth seems to carry a message 
of purity, liveliness, and cheer. It produced 
quantities of tall, willowy 4 foot spikes with 
9 open from 6 bulbs on the Oregon test plot. 
One of the best buys of the year. Fully de- 
scribed under 1944 releases. Only large bulbs 
offered. (1-.50; 10-$4) : 
feature of this stunning beautiful variety is 
the intense and uniform frilling of its petals. 
(L. 10-.50) (M. 10-.35) (S. 10-.20) Bbts. 
100-.15. 
PARADISE (Pruitt) (Early mid-season) Com- 
mercial tall apricot still popular among whole- 
sale florists. (L. 10-.50) (M. 10-.35) (S. 
10-.20). Bbts. 100-.15. 
PARNASSUS (Ristow) (Mid-season) Very pleas- 
ing shade of rich purple that should prove to 
be a good commercial. Produces many fine 
spikes hailed with a cheer by the florists. The 
large, round florets have a white feather in 
the throat. Run-away propagator. (L. 2-.25; 
10-S1) (M. 2-.15; -10-.50) §.(S: 4-.15° 10- 
.30) Bbts. 10-.10; 100-.50. 
PEGGY LOU (Wilson) (Mid-season) Deep pink 
with slight rose cast. 
a commercial. (L. 
100-.15. 
PHYLLIS MCQUISTON (Stuart) (Mid-season) 
Strong growing pure pink. Good commercial 
ae fee use. (L. 10-.59) (M. 10-.35) Bbts. 
PICARDY (Palmer) (Mid-season) The standard 
by which other glads are judged. The beauti- 
ful apricot salmon that everyone knows. More 
widely grown than any glad in _ existence. 
a Se (M. 10-.35) (S. 10-.20) Bbts. 
PINK RADIANCE (Quackenbush) (Mid-season) 
Tall, sturdy pink with gray undertone. Opens 
6-8 blooms on an 18 bud spike. Good propa- 
gator. (L. 1-.25;  10-$2) (M. 1-.15; 10- 
$1.20) Bbts. 10-.15; 100-$1.00. 
PURITAN (Baerman) 
Seems to be popular as 
10-.50) (M. 10-.35) Bbts. 
(Mid-season) A pure pink 
with florets intensely ruffled and of heavy 
substance. Very beautiful, but it often comes 
with short flower heads. (L. 10-.50) (M. 10- 
35) (S. 10-.20) Bbts. 100-.15. 
PURPLE BEAUTY (Roozen) (Mid-season) Large 
deep purple self which opens 4-5 round florets 
on a medium height plant. A _ fine purple. 
(L. 2-.20; 10-.80) (M. 2-.15; 10-.60) (S. 
4-.15; 10-.30) Bbts. 160-.25. 
RED CHARM (Butt) (Early mid-season) A 
charm of red, indeed, and a very important 
variety. Opens a generous number of bright, 
round, well placed florets on tall, willowy 
spikes. Destined to be a must-have in every 
one’s garden. (L. 1-.25; 10-$2) (M._ 1-.20; 
10-$1.60) (S. 1-.15; 10-$1.20) Bbts. 10-.15; 
100-$1.25 
RED ENSIGN (Errey) (Mid-season) Bright scar- 
let with conspicuous white throat—redder than 
Beacon, but not as fine a performer. Flower- 
head rather short for us. (L. 2-.15; 10-.65) 
(M. 3-.15; 10-.40) (S. 6-.15; 10-.25) Bbts. 
100-.29. 
RED PLUSH (Baerman) (Early) It is impossi- 
ble to describe the fullness of form and soft 
richness of color of bountiful Red Plush. 
There is so much depth of attraction from 
the face of the flower back to the stem, such 
a breadth of beauty from the tip of the petal 
on one side, around the face to tip of the petal 
on the other, that one is held in amazement. 
Each petal is perfectly placed, folding grace- 
fully into the flowing curves of the next, all 
making a symphonic whole. Attachment was 
good this year, although it has been rather 
loose at times. Grow large bulbs for best 
blooming results. (L. 1-$2; 10-$16) (M. 1- 
$1.50; 10-$12) (S. 1-$1.00; 10-$8.00) Bbts. 2-.30; 
10-$1.25.
