LANTANA (Palmer) One of the sweetest 
colors of all pastel glads, orange shading 
through orange salmon to ae golden 
throat, a really new and distinct color. 
Opens 7 to 9 large wide open florets. 
This variety does not grow tall, but is 
good in spite of this. Practically every 
bulblet will bloom, as it is very early. 
Heavy propagator and easy grower. 
Your florist will love it for spray work.

LAVENDER AND GOLD (Baerman) The 
cnly small decorative cataloged and 
grown by me because of its extreme 
earliness and light lavender color, blend- 
ing into a light yellow throat. Blooms 
are placed gracefully on a thin, wiry, 
rangy stem. 4 to 5 open, around 4 inches 
in diameter. This glad cuts 100% and 
should replace such varieties as Queen 
of Breman, as it does not crook.

LAVENDER PRINCE (LaSalle) A King Ar- 
thur seedling and an improvement on 
that variety. <A deep lavender which 
opens 6, five inch blooms on a 55 inch 
plant. A basket of Lavender Prince won 
lst at Tri Cities Show, Binghamton ’45. 
It ts being bought heavily by commer- 
cial growers. 
L .75; M .50; S .35; Bts. 2 for .20; 10 for .75. 
LEADING LADY (Johnston) Little needs to 
be said for this cream white sport of 
Picardy, for it has held the spotlight 
ever since introduced. Probably the best 
feature and the one that will result in 
its being the leading commercial of the 
future, is that so far it has shown none 
of the diseases so common to its parent. 
Spike, flower and habits identical with 
Picardy, an occasional pink streak in 
petals being best proof it is a true sport. 
Color creamy white with lemon cream 
throat, yet white enough so that florists 
accept it as white. One can grow show 
spikes from medium sizes and commer- 
cial spikes from small bulbs. It will be 
years before enough Leading Lady can 
be grown to supply the unprecented de- 
mand. Sharp drop in price this season 
will permit all to grow it. If I were lim- 
ited to growing one glad, Leading Lady 
would be my choice. 
L .40; M .25; S .15; Bts. 10 for .40; 1060 
for $3.00. 
ELLONA (Krueger) A ruffled creamy white, 
similar to Myrna but far more reliable 
in its habits. Early mid-season, about 4 
feet tall with spikes carrying 18 to 20 
buds and opening 6 to 8, four to four and 
one-half ineh florets of good substance. 
A glad etherial in its beauty, supreme 
for floral work. 
L .25; M .20; S .15; Bts. 10 for .25; 100 for 
$2.00. 
MADELINE BROWN (Maier) Beautiful deep 
salmon, somewhat lighter in throat. Very 
long flower head with up to 20 buds of 
which 8 open at one time. Blooms are 
5% inches in diameter and of excellent 
texture. Heavy producer of  bulblets 
which germinate perfectly. Madeline 
Brown is very close to Picardy in color- 
ing but its commercial value lies in the 
fact that it does not produce a percent- 
age of short heads, as has Picardy stocks 
in recent years. 
L .75; M .50; S .25; Bts. 10 for .40; 100 
tor $3.00. 
MAKION PEARL (Benedict) Large exhibi- 
tion salmon that will hold 10 enormous 
wide open florets in perfect form and 
placement. I consider this one of the 
most beautiful in any list of 10. Propa- 
gates very slowly and I am still trying 
to increase stock, but will offer a very 
few small bulbs at 50 cents each. 
MARTHA DEANE (Guille) Martha Deane 
was one of the leading introductions of 
last season, and has been attracting a 
lot of attention in the East, where it has 
been extensively shown. A_ basket of 
this at the Binghamton 1946 show was 
most beautiful. Color is a light yellow 
with small red line in the throat. It is 
capable of making a 30 inch flower head, 
carrying 18 to 20 buds, opening up to 8 
with 5 more in color. Martha Deane is 
a very heavy increaser, bulblets are not 
large but grow perfectly. Price remains 
same for this season. 
L $5.00; M $4.00; S $3.00; Bts. 10 for 
$5.00, sold only with purchase of large 
bulb. 
MARY KATHLEEN (Kinyon) Mary Kath- 
leen is one of the late introductions of 
Mrs. Kinyon, whose releases have always 
found favor. It is known as the white 
that is truly white with just a trace of 
lavender in the throat. Many large 
blooms open on a tall and always straight 
spike. Propagation and germination ex- 
cellent. 
MEMOIR (Palmer) Strong biush cream or 
light pink with a clear crimson blotch, 
giving a rare and beautiful color effect. 
Very distinct and showy. Blooms are 
much larger than are other similar col- 
ored varjeties. Memior is not a tall 
growing variety but opens 5 with a 
total cf 16 buds to the spike. It is a 
ood propagator and blooms in 85 to 90 
ays. 
L $2.50; M $1.50; S $1.00; Rts. .25 each; 
10 for $2.00. 
MiNSTREL (Palmer) Best lavender to be 
introduced since Elizabeth The Queen 
and the largest of all in this class. Color 
a lavender pink, sometimes flecked but 
usually comes clear. Can be easliy grown 
to 7 inches and plant grows up to 5 feet 
tall. Minstrel was voted the most beau- 
tiful glad at Wisconsin State Fair '44. 
This is one that eventually everyone will 
grow. 
IL $1.50; M $1.00; Bts. .15 each; 10 for 
$1.00. 
MISS VERMONT (Hatch) Early mid-season 
lavender tinted pink shading somewhat 
to deeper in the throat. Opens 8 ‘to 10 
with several showing color on a long 
flower head. It appears to always grow 
straight. Good keeper and propagator. 
Won an Award of Merit at Maryland trial 
gardens. <A really beautiful variety, 
L $150: M $1.00; S .50; Bts. .20 each; 10 
for $1.56. 
MISS WISCONSIN (Krueger) One that has 
little competition among the rose pinks. 
It fills a gap in a color class that has 
heretofore been weak. One spike of 
Miss Wisconsin is practically a bouquet 
in itself, opening 6 to 8, five inch florets 
Spikes always come straight. Miss Wis- 
consin is an average propagator, but
