GRATITUDE 
DONNA (416) (D. S. Pruitt) (Midseason) We have 
always liked Donna, a ruffled buff with a golden 
throat. It’s a tall husky glad with heavy sub- 
stance. A greatly improved Wasaga. (L 2-.25; 
10-$1.00) (M 10-.70) (S 10-.35) Blbts. .35 Pkg. 
EARLY GOLD (312) (Butt) (Very Early) Early 
Gold looks much like Goldstaub, being prac- 
tically identical in color The florets are small- 
er, but it opens more. A few days earlier than 
Goldstaub. (L 1-.50; 10-$4.00) Blbts. 8-.25; 100- 
$2.50. 
EARLY ROSE (362) (Jack) (Early) Very popular 
pleasing shade of medium rose. Excellent for 
early cutflowers. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M_ 10-.40) 
(S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 Pkg. 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN (566) (White) (Midsea- 
son) This variety deserves the popularity thus 
far received and is destined to be grown for 
years to come. Beautiful shade of lavender 
with a darker line. It is intensely ruffled and 
of fine form. Needs water to do its best. (L 
1-.20; 10-$1.50) (M 10-.70) (S 10-.40) Blbts .30 
Pkg. 
ETHEL CAVE COLE (440) (Cave) (Early) A large 
light pink that makes a fine cutflower as well 
as an exhibition spike. Strong husky grower 
that opens 8 to 9 on a long flowerhead. (L 3- 
.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 Pkg. 
FIREFLY (436) (Palmer) (Early) We have used 
Firefly to advantage as an early cutflower. 
Brilliant scarlet; rather short. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) 
(M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 Pkg. 
FRANCIS IRWIN (460) (Wilson) (Midseason) A 
beautiful shade of lavender-rose with a darker 
throat. Recommended. Very prolific. (L 2-.25; 
10-$1.00) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 Pkg. 
GARDENIA (406) (Scheer) (Early) A tall grow- 
ing cream decorative that has value for early 
cutting Mad propagator. (L 10-.65) (M 10-.35) 
S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 Pkg. 
GLEAM (410) (Fischer) (Early) (Early-Midsea- 
son) Gleam is the criterion of beauty in style, 
color and ruffling; its substance is reminiscent 
of carved ivory. Its unusually lustrous texture 
is crystalline and waxy, due in part to the re- 
markable thickness of its petals. It opens 3 to 
5, 5-inch florets of a clear light yellow on stems 
of medium height. Its attachment is stiff and 
rigid though too far from the stem to handle 
well. An early midseason bloomer which does 
well from small bulbs. Gleam did very well 
for us last summer and was well received by 
others. It made unusually robust growth. A 
fancier’s favorite. (L 1-$1.50; 10-$12.00) (M 1- 
$1.25; 10-$10.00) (S_ 1-$1.00; 10-$8.00) Blbts. 2- 
25; 12-$1.00. 
GLOAMING (370) (Zimmer) (Early) One of the 
tallest and most perfect cutting varieties we 
grow. Produces a graceful long ribbon of white 
throated light purple blooms. Some years its 
bulbs are subject to disease. (L 10-.65) (M 10- 
35) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 Pkg. 
GOLDENHEART (430) (Fischer) (Late) A flair 
of lacy frills and elaborate styling is supported 
by tall husky spikes. The heavy substance and 
waxy texture of the petals produce an effect of 
suave distinctive charm. A rich salmon blends 
into a glowing golden throat. Unexcelled for 
late cutting; one of the best we grow. Deserves 
to be well known. A must have! (L 3-.25; 10- 
.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .25 Pkg. 
GOLDEN STATE (512) (Wheeler) (Late) A tall 
stately exhibition yellow that is rather plain in 
form and color, but all in all it gave an ex- 
cellent account of itself last summer. Has an 
air of Golden Goddess, from which it is derived. 
A coming commercial. (L 1-.50; 10-$4.00) Blbts. 
10-.50.
