SILVER WINGS (500) (Ritsima) (Midseason) An- 
other creamy sport of Picardy that is supposed 
to be an improvement over Leading Lady. They 
are very Similar. Probably a little whiter with 
heavier substance. We had some exceptionally 
fine spikes that really won our hearts to this 
extremely popular variety. (L 2.50) (M_ 2.00) 
(S 1.00) Bibts. 1-.25; 10-2.00. 
SNOW PRINCESS (400) (Pfitzer) (Early Mid- 
season) A creamy white with five or six 5-inch 
blooms open at a time. Tall straight spikes. 
Very reliable. An excellent bulb maker. Small 
or even medium bulbs planted late tend to go to 
bulb rather than to flower. Plant small sizes 
early, for cutting. Very prolific. Our leading 
commercial white. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) (UM 10-.40) 
(S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
SPOTLIGHT (Yellow) (410) (Palmer) (Early) 
Clear medium yellow with a trickle of scar- 
let at the base of the throat petals. Florets are 
large, round, and full; well arranged on very 
tall spikes. Propagates like Corona, and will 
likely be as widely grown. Strikingly different! 
(L 1.50; 10-12.00) (M 1.00; 10-8.00) (S .60; 10- 
4.80) 
STOPLIGHT (Red) (452) (Lins) (Midseason) A 
stopper indeed! Has a rich, silkly luster, a bril- 
liant color, and tall handsome spikes, but the 
prettily ruffled florets are 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 is one of 
the most prolific glads grown. Performed un- 
usually well for us last summer. Vigorous. One 
of the best from the brush of the able hy- 
bridizer, E. H. Lins. (L .15; 10-1.00) (M 10-.50) 
(S 10-.35) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
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. Blooms freely 
from small sizes. Strongly recommended for 
commercial and exhibition use. (L 10-.70) (M 
10-.40) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
SUSQUEHANNA (416) (Herridge) (Midseason) 
Clear peach buff with creamy throat. Opens 
6-8 five-inch florets on tall straight stems. A 
good cutflower. Recommended. (L .20; 10-$1.50) 
(M 10-.80) (S 10-.40) Blbts. .30 Pkg. 
SWEETHEART (340) (Prestgard) (Early) Waxy 
frilled pure pink blending to a large snow- 
white throat. Extremely early. Exquisitely fresh 
colored. Need lots of water. (L 10-.65) (M 10- 
.35) (S 10-.25) Blbts. .20 pkg. 
TROCADERO (422) (Lins) (Midseason) Tall, ro- 
bust Trocadero was one of the very best new 
varieties to bloom last season. The plants were 
dreamlike in their stately splendor. One of the 
spikes is illustrated on page 19. Trocadero is 
unusual not only in growth but also in color. 
This (Picardy X Aflame) X Pfitzer’s Triumph 
cross is a paler Pfitzer’s Triumph which was a 
color marvel of its day. It is a rich salmon 
orange or a pale carrot color. Very unusual. 
Propagates well from large bulbs. We are en- 
thusiastic about Trocadero. (L 2.00) (M_ 1.50) 
(S .75) Blibts. 10-2.00. 
TRUELOVE (440) (Klein) (Early) A clear some- 
what ruffled shell pink. Beautiful in color and 
form. Good grower; prolific. Has the earmarks 
of a good commercial. A “Truelove’’ with us. 
(L 1.50) (M 1.00) (S .60) Blbts. 2-.25; 10-1.00. 

“What a glad you had at the Cortland Show, 
grown by Al Moses. That blue lavender and 
cream! Wedgewood would be a good name if 
available.’"” (We named it Wedgewood.)—Jim
