Hi Hat (1945) 
Seedling No. 3750- Rio Rita X Heritage 
After watching this seedling during seven blooming seasons, I believe its good 
performance and ability to produce, regularly, 5 ft. spikes with very long flower heads 
of 20 to 22 buds, opening 6 to 8, 5144” bloom with the rest of the buds in color, war- 
rants its introduction. 
I believe it will become a good show and commercial variety. It produces large 
amounts of bublets that grow easily. Color is bright orange pink. Florets are well 
attached and placed. Not many varieties show as much bud color as HIT HAT and 
NAVAHO. Large Formal Exhibition.

Robinson Crusoe (1944) 
This was introduced last spring and if reports received from those who grew it, 
are an indication, ROBINSON CRUSOE will go places. 
Easily builds a massive straight spike with large perfectly placed bloom of 
“unique” color. Base color tan, heavily MARBLED (not flecked) chocolate. Has 
been called the “marbled glad.” Good propagator. Blooms early midseason. 
Has always evoked “OHS” and “AHS” when shown as a seedling and reports 
indicate that it immediately catches people’s eye in other gardens also as shown by 
excerpts from a letter received from a Doctor in Tennessee under date of Aug. 8, 1944: 
“Enclosed a snapshot I took of ROBINSON CRUSOE from a bulb I bought last 
spring. It was really a masterpiece. One would describe it as “unique” and by far 
the best of its kind. I can safely say that among the 50 new varieties and over 100 
older varieties that I grew this year, ROBINSON CRUSOE produced more comments 
than any glad grown with perhaps the exception of (here he mentions a white and 
a yellow)”

Navaho (1944) 
A tall vigorous grower that produces a correctly proportioned spike, opening 5-6 
five-inch beautifully shaped bloom ocr heavy substance, with the rest of the buds in 
color. Color is pure unflecked red. Healthy bulbs and plants and is a good propagator. 
Looks like another good show and commercial red. 
Due to a slight mix in the small stock I am not offering any small stock or bts.

Melrose (1943) 
American Beauty deep rose blending deeper on lower petals. 
The 5-inch and larger flowers are heavily ruffled, wide open and well attached. 
The medium height plants produce good flower heads. Have had some with 8 open 
and bloom up to 6 inches, however, under a field culture 5-6 open is average. Due 
to its good color, there is a big demand for Melrose cutflowers. We should keep all 
stock for propagation purposes but will release a limited amount of bulbs. No bulblets 
offered this season.
