NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1945: 
SUN SPOT 
A light apricot-buff with an attractive rose spot in 
the throat, this new Glad is distinctive in color, hav- 
ing more yellow in its makeup than most of the buffs. 
Yet it cannot be classed as a yellow-due to the infusion 
of peach and apricot; as it grows here it definitely 
falls in the large formal buff class (N.E.G.S. 116). 
SUN SPOT will regularly open 7 to 9 florets at once on 
a tall straight spike., The 5<inch flowers are lightly 
ruffled; placement and attachment are very good. It is 
a strong, healthy grower, producing lots of bulblets 
which germinate almost 100%. SUN SPOT blooms in early- 
midseason, about 80 days when planted in May. 
Bulbs, any sise, $4.00 each. No bulblets this year. 
CRIMSON TIDE 
One of the few Glads of true crimson coloring, this 
also possesses about the stiffest petal substance of any 
variety I grow. CRIMSON TIDE opens 6 or more heavily 
ruffled 4% inch florets on a medium tall spike. Its color 
is a rich glossy crimson-red with unobtrusive white lines 
on the lower petals, Florets open flat and close to the 
stem with good attachment; placement is usually good. 
Altho it is quite a good propagator, bulblets are at 
times rather difficult to germinate, hence CRIMSON TIDE 
is recommended for the home garden and for the exhibitor, 
but not as a commercial. Midseason bloomer. Mr. Hopkins 
rates this seedling at 83 (one of his highest ratings), 
and it won a first for him at I11.,!44, only time shown. 
Large and Med. bulbs, $4.00 ea. No small or blts. .- 
FIRST LADY . 
A ruffled pink with cream throat, this is a strong 
reliable grower, opening 6 to 8 or more flowers at once 
on a tall straight spike of 18=20 buds. It has been 
reported with as many as 10 open, 43 to 5 inches in size. 
A light slate flaking at petal edges is noticeable at — 
times but does not appear unattractive. FIRST LADY 
blooms in midseason, and is a good producer of bulblets 
which germinate well. This new Glad is named in honor 
of the attractive wife of Idaho's Governor. 
Hopkins rating: 82. A fairly good stock permits lower 
price: Large bulbs, $2,50 each, Medium $2.00 each, 
- Small $1.50 each, Bltsa .40¢ ea., 3 for $1., 10 for $3,
