NOWETA GARDENS 


SPOTLIGHT 
PAUL REVERE (Baerman) (Early midseason) A 
glossy, velvety rose red that is wonderfully 
rich and unusual in color. Opens 4 or 5 blooms 
on fairly tall spikes but with rather short flower 
heads. Good grower, medium decorative in 
size, and informal in arrangement. (L. .50; 
10-$4.00) (M. .40; 10-$3.20) (S. .25; 10-$2.00) 
Bbts. 6-.25; 100-$3.00. 
PHYLLIS MCQUISTON (Stuart) (Midseason) 
Strong growing pure pink. Good commercial. 
One of our best late cut flowers. (L. 10-.65) 
(M. 10-.35) 
PICARDY (Palmer) (Midseason) The standard by 
which other glads are judged. The beautiful 
apricot salmon that everyone knows. More 
widely grown than any glad in existence. (L. 
10-.65) (M. 10-.35) (S. 10-.25) Bbts. .20 pkg. 
RED CHARM (Butt) (Early midseason) A charm 
of red, indeed, and a very important variety. 
Opens a generous number of bright, round, well 
placed florets on tall, willowly spikes. Destined 
to be a must-have in every one’s garden. (L. 
-20; 10-$1.60) (M. 2-.25; 10-$1.00) (S. 2-.15; 
10-.60) Bbts. 2-.25; 10-$1.00. 
RED PLUSH (Baerman) (Early) Words cannot 
express the regal beauty of this well named 
flower grown under ideal conditions, but it is 
an unusually thirsty glad and will sulk in dry 
weather. A soft rich scarlet that is unusually 
full in form. Have had a number of requests 
for Red Plush from commercial growers, but 
unhappily, it is a slow multiplier. (L. $1.00; 
10-$8.00) (CM. .75) (S. .50) Bbts. 2-.25; 10-$1.00. 
RIO RITA (Lins) (Late midseason) A large ex- 
hibition scarlet orange that makes an impres- 
Sive spike. We have not had much blooming 
experience with this one, although it has won 
its share of awards, and is in demand. (L. .35) 
(M. .25) (S. .15) 
ROSA VAN LIMA (Pfitzer) (Early midseason) 
An extra fine commercial light pink. Very 
uniform and dependable in habit. Excellent 
grower. (L. 10-.65) (M. 10-.35) Bbts. .20 pkg. 
ROSE O’ DAY (Fischer) (Early) 54”, 26”, 9-10 
open with 6” florets from medium bulbs. Rose 
O’ Day is distinctive in color, massive in size, 
and robust in growth. The spikes are unusual 
in their arrow-like straightness. Our Rochester 
florists proclaimed this rosy lavender to be our 
best production. For us this was sort of an off 
year for Rose O’ Day, though we received many 
fine testimonials. After the drought we cut 
some fairly representative spikes from small 
bulbs. (L. 1.50; 10-$12.00) (M. $1.00; 18-$8.00) 
(S. .75; 10-$6.00) Bbts. .20; 10-$1.50. 
RUFFLED BEAUTY (Prestgard) (Late) Light yel- 
low of unusual personality and ruffling. Opens 
several blooms. on a medium length stem. 
Lovely for floral pieces. (L. 10-.65) (M. 10-.35) 
(S. 10-.25) Bbts. .20 pkg. 
SILVER SWORD (Hatch) (Midseason A year ago 
this one gave us a lovely large spike, as well as 
a quantity of seeds, but this year it bore a faint 
resemblance of its former self. Further trial will 
be necessary to establish its worth. When well 
grown, it is a taller, whiter, and larger Maid of 
Caan with more open. (L. .25) (M. .15) 
. 10 
SILVERY TETON (Zimmer) (Midseason) An im- 
proved Dream O’ Beauty, and one that per- 
formed very well for us during the drought 
last summer. A pleasing shade of rose red. 
(L. 1-.20) (M. 2-.25) p 

Autumn Gold is hardly yellow—it is a wonder- 
ful ruffled, light orange with golden throat—very 
beautiful—Mrs. Geo. Vawter, Ohio.
