G arita kKkewKw (Wittson) (Large Dec.) (Mid-season) Nice shade of rose 
salmon shading to a golden throat. Opens 8 large blooms of 
heavy substance on a long head. Blooms are plain petaled but slightly fluted. Strong healthy 
grower with dark green foliage. The tallest growing plant I have ever seen. I have had them 
7 feet tall with 45 inch flower head. Besides being a fine exhibition variety it is one you can 
grow for tallest plant and for longest flower head. Also will make a good commercial. I have 
some stock grown in the west from bulblets. My grower has the following to say about 
Ogarita—“Ogarita is one of the finest growers I have ever seen in any field and makes I 
think the finest and longest spike I have ever seen. It is a real gorgeous flower and a good 
bloomer from bud and a good keeper, blooming 6 and 7 in the field in warm weather. Would 
say it is similar to Glamis and Jeanie but has a richer pink and MY WHAT SPIKES. 
Can cut spikes for floor vases and the largest size baskets and leave 8 to 10 leaves below the 
cut.’ Remember these were from bulblets. 
* *&*&K* (Witson) (Giant For.) (Mid-season) Large 
Ohio Nonpareil bright scarlet that opens up to 9 very large 
blooms on a long flower head. Up to 5 feet and over in height. Has won many prizes at the 
shows. Looks like a good commercial. One of the best scarlets. 
Ophir www’ (BarrMan) (Large Dec.) (Early Mid-season) Light yellow with 
red marking in the throat. Large heavily ruffled blooms with 5-6 
open. Not a commercial or exhibition variety but certainly one for the connoisseur who ap- 
preciates the ultimate in beauty and attractiveness. A fine propagator. See cut inside front 
cover. 
kw % = =(Masesxi) (Large For.) (Mid-season) Called by the 
Oregon Gold originator the perfect yellow. Very tall plant with long 
flower heads and 9-10 large ruffled blooms open. Color is rather light but it makes such a 
nice spike of bloom that I think it will become very popular. Opens well in water a thing 
which most yellows do not. You will make no mistake in trying Oregon Gold. 
: *k*&*% (PrRuitTr) (Large Dec.) (Late Mid-season) Very large fier 
Palermo orange with a somewhat darker blotch, lightly ruffled. Opens 
5 or more on a very long flower head and the plant grows 5 feet and up. Strong, husky grower 
with heavy foliage and a good propagator. Burns some in the sun but if cut in the bud is 
fine. Have had good reports on it the past season. Entirely different from other oranges. 
Pandora %*K&*&* «(BEATRICE L. PALMER) (Med. For.) (Mid-season) Clear 
soft geranium pink with light lines in the throat. 8-10 round 
medium size blooms on a medium height plant. A very beautiful and free grower and free 
blooming variety. Not the largest but one of the best for. cut flower work and for the home 
garden. 
kkk *&’% (BAERMAN) (Large Dec.) (Early Mid-season) A very 
Paul Revere beautiful rose red with a silky sheen. Opens only 4—5 
at a time but is distinctive and attractive and different from other reds or rose reds. 
¢ KK *% «(PFITZER) (Med. Dec.) (Early) Dark blue. A popular 
Pelegrina standard variety for years. The darkest blue there is and 
alright in every way except that the stems are a little weak. Darker than Blue Admiral 
and more blooms open but doesn’t stand up quite so straight though I don’t call it a real 
crooker. . 
4 ¢ *&%&%&* =~ =«6(FISCHER-BAERMAN) (Med. For.) (Late) A deep 
Pillar of Fire fiery red of an intense glistening shade. Opens 9-10 
or more 4—5 inch blooms on a spike of 18-22 buds, most of which show color at once. Blooms 
are round and well placed. The spike looks more massive than the actual size of the bloom 
suggests. A very beautiful flower and one that would become extremely popular if it propa- 
gated faster. That is about its only fault. 
Pink Paragon t&k*%% (CAssEBEER) (Med. For.) (Mid-season) Bright, 
“an hetotashc ena mal taeda — Dest cad clear, pure pink with inconspicuous cream throat 
and median lines. Opens 5-7 blooms on a long head. Tall straight plant. Not quite so large 
as we like but a distinctive shade that makes it a popular cut flower. Especially nice late in 
the season when it brings a premium on the market. 
“The Glads ordered from you the past two seasons have been blooming beautifully. One of 
the loveliest is CORONA.” —Mrs. T. W. Everts, lowa.
