Mercury (Lins) 
Large clean bright vermillion red. 
The most brilliant mellow red I know 
of. Besides its excellent color it can 
also produce spikes of champion caliber. 
As a commercial there is no better 
color. Midseason bloomer and is a good 
propagator. 
The two spike picture herewith 
shows Mercury and Red Charm, photo 
by courtesy of the Maine Glad Society. 
These two spikes were Grand Cham- 
pion and Reserve Champion, Maine 
1946. The lighter spike is Mercury, 
which shows the difference in shades 
of red of the two varieties. We sug- 
gest you give Mercury a trial.

“MERCURY and DREAM CASTLE 
were the ones that particularly suited 
my taste. They go into the select 
group with Althone, Grand Opening, 
Silver Wings, etc.” — P. B. Webster

“Have a spike of DREAM CASTLE with 13 well open. A well faced spike of 
great loveliness. Very appealing. I consider it the sweetest glad introduced. My 
hat’s off to its daddy E. H. L. He who has not grown it is missing a thrill.
