New Introductions for 1946 
I have been fortunate in getting some exceptional seedlings this year. Three are from Jim 
La Salle. Have bought the entire stock of Topflite, which to me is the most beautiful glad I 
have ever seen; nor is there anything wrong with its other qualifications, except that the stock 
is not large. Jim complained he hated to part with his pet but would feel better in the knowl- 
edge that glad growers could enjoy one of the products of his labors. (Have you ever tried to 
raise 3 acres of seedlings?) We both agree that this is about the finest color in Glads we 
know of. 
Fabulous is one of those unbelievable blotch varieties, having a double blotch in the form 
of a half circle. Very distinctive and otherwise fine. 
Pink Charm is a solid pink which Jim aptly calls his waxy pink. Think this will go places 
because it is early and a very good propagator. 
Peggy is a seedling from Roy West named in memory of his wife who for years had been 
raising seedlings. Had a few for trial this summer and it is just the shade of light lavender I 
have been looking for. Blooms not large, about 4” but clear and never flecks. and it grows tall. 
Abigail and Yankee Lass are from Jim Milo, who bought the entire stocks of both varieties. 
Haven’t seen Abigail but it has won an Award of Merit at Md. Trial Gardens and several firsts 
at the shows. Yankee Lass is a sister seedling of Conn. Yankee with the same perfect placement 
except that it is a beautiful flesh or light pink. Bill Schenetsky, its originator, certainly has a 
record to be proud of with his King William, Conn. Yankee and now Yankee Lass.
