WHAT IS NEW IN THE COMMERCIAL FIELD 
It takes more than one year to judge a variety on its commercial merits. One 
is safer in making comments after three years’ trial. The consistency in making 
good spikes as well as growing readily from bulblets, and health of the variety, 
are points that take more than one season. 
In our last year’s catalogue we mentioned several varieties of our choice which 
I will repeat here for your reference, and all of which are on our top-notch list. 
PINK RADIANCKE still holds my enthusiasm for best all-around pink. It’s consistent 
in making tall spikes, is especially healthy, a good propagator, and makes nice 
spikes even from bulblets. Its placement is especially good and opens beautifully 
in water. All in all, you can grow the Picardy, V’ll grow PINK RADIANCE. I 
know the market still demands Picardy and it probably grows better for some 
than for us, but we do not get enough good spikes from a given number of bulbs. 
ETHEL CAVE COLE is a fine performer although the flecking is sometimes not 
so good. It makes massive heavy spikes consistently. In about the same color 
class as Picardy is KING WILLIAM. The color is cleaner but a shade lighter, and 
for real beauty prefer it to Picardy. I have always said this was a sport of the 
latter, but I may be wrong. For home market you can’t s0 wrong on King William. 
ROSA VAN LIMA is not to be discarded. 
SNOW PRINCESS and MAID OF ORLEAN S_are still a toss-up, both being 
in big demand. TIT prefer, for cutting, SILENTIOM to MARGARET BEATON » the 
latter being larger with a brighter blotch, but Silentium is made to order for cutting. 
SURFSIDE is another wonderful cutter and fine grower. Our oun HEAVENLY 
WHITE is sure going to be a favorite when stock is available. LEADING LADY 
is taking the Glad world by storm. The long-distance shippers should have their 
wish in a white Glad that will ship and open properly. CORONA, while not pure 
white, is tops and a fine heavy grower. 
I still don’t think there is a yellow to equal MOTHER KADEI, in the commercial 
yellow class. GOLD DUST is good, and OREGON GOLD is the largest and a No. 1 
glad, but is quite late and of a sulphur yellow shade. 
Many of the so-called whites are really creams, as is the case of LEADING 
LADY, but are light enough to sell as whites. Of the deeper, richer creams, IN- 
TERMEZZO is outstanding with the real qualities for commercial cut flower 
production. WANDA is also outstanding. Being a Picardy sport it is already 
being grown by the million. 
I have settled down to grow three lavenders in quantity. ELIZABETH THE 
QUEEN and BADGER BEAUTY, while both of medium height, can be cut nearly 
to the ground and still save the foliage on the plant. I have been skeptical along 
back about Elizabeth the Queen in that I was afraid it would prove too stubby and 
short. After three years’ growing, I am convinced by its persistently long flower 
heads. You can’t go wrong on either. The third one is LAVENDER QUEEN. A 
little soft but early and a sure spiker, and a beautiful shade.
