LAVENDER & GOLD 

SPOTLIGHT (Yellow) (410) (Palmer) i (Early ) 
To see Spotlight is to study it; how is it differ- 
ent—why do I like it? Clear medium yellow 
with a trickle of scarlet at the base of the 
throat petals. Florets are large, round, and 
full; well arranged on very tall spikes. Prop- 
agates like Corona, and will likely be as widely 
grown. Strikingly different! (L $2.00; 10- 
$16.00) (M $1.50; 10-$12.00) (S $1.25; 10-$10.00) 
Blbts. 1-.25; 10-$1.00. 
STOPLIGHT (Red) (452) (Lins) (Midseason) A 
stopper indeed! Has a rich, silky luster, a bril- 
liant color, and tall handsome spikes, but the 
prettily ruffled florets were a trifle small and 
far apart. Notwithstanding, it is an excellent 
variety. More and more we have come to be- 
lieve that excellent propagating qualities are a 
necessary factor in a glad. Stoplight has come 
to the fore so rapidly as it is one of the most 
prolific glads grown. (L .20; 10-$1.60) (M .15; 
10-$1.20) (S 2-.15; 10-.60) Blbts. 10-.15; 100- 
$1.00. 
SURFSIDE (400) (Winsor) (Midseason) Tall ruf- 
fled white with slight pencil markings in throat. 
This vigorous grower was one of our favorite 
commercial whites this year. Strongly recom- 
mended for commercial and exhibition use. (L 
10-.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
SUSQUEHANNA (416) (Herridge) (Midseason) 
A buff edition of the older Heritage of which 
it is a seedling. Somewhat similar to Duna in 
color. Tall tapering spikes with many open. 
Headed for the commercial brackets. (L .35; 
10-$2.80) (M .25; 10-$2) (S .20; 10-$1.60) Blbts. 
10-.20; 100-$1.50. 
SWEETHEART (340) (Prestgard) (Early) Waxy 
frilled pure pink blendings to a large snow 
white throat. Unexcelled for forcing. We con- 
sider this variety with its tall wiry stem, ex- 
treme earliness, and exquisitely fresh color an 
Al florists’ glad. Needs lots of water. (L 10-.65) 
(M 10-.35) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
VALERIA (436) (Pruitt) (Early) We had per- 
fectly magnificent Valeria last summer. Many 
of them were show spikes. It is very tall, a 
pleasing shade of scarlet, and builds a_ sub- 
stantial spike. Bulblets are often difficult to 
germinate or it would be a universal favorite 
along with Picardy, Beacon, and Margaret Ful- 
ton. (L 2-.20; 10-.80) 
VALOR (432) (Baerman) (Midseason) An AI 
money maker as a cut flower with us the past 
two seasons. An unusual color which the florists 
request, being a mellow deep salmon with a 
rich yellow throat. Opens 8 well placed blooms 
on a long flowerhead. Blooms very well in 
late fall. (L 10-.65) (M 10-.35) (S 10-.25) Blbts. 
20 pkg. 
VANGOLD (312) (Van Voorhis) (Early) A deep 
golden yellow that has won its way along. 
Opens about 6 5-inch blooms slightly waved on 
tall willowy spikes. In great demand. (L $1.00) 
(M .75) (S .50) Blbts. 5-.40; 25-$1.25. 
VULCAN (470) (Stevens) (Midseason) A likely: 
commercial. A pleasing large medium purple 
with faint white mid ribs. The plain-petaled 
blooms average 5-7 in number. Prolific. Beau- 
tiful color. (L .25; 10-$2.00) (M .20; 10-$1.50) 
(S .15; 10-$1.20) Blbts. 15-.25; 100-$1.00. 
WANDA (406) (Snyder) (Midseason) A cream 
sport of Picardy that is fast becoming popular 
as a cut flower. Not as refined as Leading 
Lady or Silver Wing. Vigorous and _ prolific. 
(L .10; 10-.80) (M 2-.15; 10-.50) Blbts. .25 pkg. 
WHITE GOLD (506) (Scheer) (Midseason) Tall, 
vigorous cream with 4-6” massive blooms on a 
straight stem. Has received much popularity 
since its introduction. Excellent growing habits. 
(L .30; 10-$2.40) (M .20; 10-$1.60) S .10; 10-.80) 
Blbts. 15-.25; 100-$1.25.
