Considering its immense size, the attach- 
ment of all florets with occasional excep- 
tion of bottom floret only, is all that could 
be desired. 
One of the firsts received in "45 was a:- 
tremendous spike with 11 open florets, at 
the Chagrin Falls, Ohio show. That’s a 
bit better than the 4144 open which made 
it an Ohio grand champion.

“Snow Cruiser—what a glad. I had only bulblets but one 
bloomed like a million dollars, the spike had 13 buds, held 5 
open at a time, the first bloom was 534 inches dia. and the clean 
est and finest white I ever saw in any glad. It was really out- 
standing and I had a lot of comments on it.’ 9-12-43. 
J. La gey ork? Pa: 
“A bulblet of Snow Cruiser gave me the largest growth I 
ever saw from a bulblet—nearly 5 feet tall with 14 buds 
(taller than the bloom from the 2 bulbs I had). It sure is a 
giant and beautiful.”” 12-1-44 G. T. B., Shelbyville, Ill. 
SNOW PRINCESS (Pfitzer) 80 * — tt Dec. 
Com. Milky White, shading to light 
cream in throat. Makes a tall, straight 
spike with six or more large blooms of 
heavy texture open. A healthy, vigor- 
ous grower and a good propagator. It is 
replacing Maid of Orleans in our list. 
L .08. (100, $6.00) BIts (100, .60). 
_ CREAM— 06 Series 
LADY JANE (Lake) 85 * — ttt Exh. Com. 
Clear, Glistening cream, deeper in throat. 
Will easily open 7-8 round, wide open, 
slightly ruffled and waved biooms. Tex- 
ture and placement are perfect. This is 
considered the world’s 4th best glad 
(ahead of Picardy), by C. G. S. symposium 
standards and worthy of the rating. Com- 
mercial qualities are perfect. Very out- 
standing. 
L .15 M .10 Blts (100, $1.00). 
LEADING LADY (Johnson) 82 ** tt Exh. 
Com. This light cream sport of Picardy 
has been in the limelight ever since intro- 
duced. Probably the best feature, and 
one that will result in its being the leading 
commercial while it persists, is that so far 
it has shown none of the diseases of its 
parent. Spike, flower and habits identi- 
cal with Picardy, an occasional Picardy 
‘pink streak in petals being best proof it is 
arealsport. However, somehow, inverted 
type florets (single lip, top petal to rear) 
occasionally are to be found. That’s an 
advantage over Picardy. Color is light | 
cream with lemon cream throat, yet for 
most practical purposes where white is 
wanted, it is accepted when seen. You 
can grow show spikes from medium sizes 
and commercial spikes from No. 5. ‘See 
winner and grand champion tabulations. 
Each L .60 M .40 S .25 Bits (100, $5.00). 

SNOW CRUISER 
WANDA (Snyder) 83 ** — ttt Dec. Com. 
Long, straight spikes of very light cream, 
approaching white. Has the soft, pastel 
finish of color one would expect from a 
Picardy sport. We have spent years study- 
ing the Picardy sports and growing many 
of them. This is our choice for offer to 
you and the price makes it one of the 
outstanding bargains in the entire list. 
L .12 M .08 Bits (100, .35.) 
YELLOW — 10 Series 
CHAGRIN (Evans) 82 ***+ tf 1945 intro- 
duction. Soft, clear, lively primrose yel- 
low with red markings in throat. The 
heavy creases and tapering points of the 
petals add greatly to its beauty. Spikes 
are what we would call on the short side 
but F. E. Hubler, former supervisor of 
judges, Amer. Glad. Soc., who has grown 
a few for appraisal for several years, says 
it is tall enough, . , 
For us it was Sec. and Champion Seedling, 
W. Va., ’41 and Ist 3 spike Cleveland 
(Ohio) ’43. At this same show J.S. Colbert,
