MARSEILLAISE - ( Aida X Pelegrina ) 
A very large, crimson-scarlet, later than most other good reds, Marseillaise is just 
the red that growers and florists have been waiting for. It makes very tall spikes, with 
long flowerheads and, with its brilliant color it is always the one variety that unfailingly 
attracts all visitors late in the season. A planting of Marseillaise is a sight to remember. 
The red section is one of the strongest of all, and a glad has to be more than merely 
good to receive any sort of consideration at all in this group, where super-glads are 
almost expected. The fact that Marseillaise is quite generally included among the top 
three or four when the leaders among the reds are named is perhaps the most convincing 
evidence of its quality. It has won many awards at the shows, including show champion spike 
at Wisconsin. 
To date, stocks have not been sufficiently plentiful to warrant pushing it very hard 
as a commercial, but now that the supply is becoming more plentiful, Marseillaise promises 
to soon become a leading commercial in the reds and is well worth a thorough trial. Its 
large size, tall spikes and long flowerheads, striking brilliant color, and all-around depend- 
able performance, and, not to be overlooked, its late blooming season, coming when most 
other good reds are gone, will make Marseillaise a very desirable variety, once it is 
better known.
