Will open eight florets with as many more buds showing color. Tall, sturdy, 
straight grower which should not be overlooked. 
ROYAL WINSOR 
This was one of our real finds for 1946 and one of the “five best” that grew 
in our gardens. Pure spectrum red which will grow fifty or more inches tall, with 
8-10 immense blooms open on a twenty-bud spike. Buds are so spaced that the 
perfect formal arrangement produces a solid bank of vivid color. It is worth sev- 
eral times its price. 
SPOTLIGHT . 
An outstanding newer variety which is included among our “‘five best.” Clear, 
deep yellow with a small scarlet blotch deep in the throat. Tall and always 
straight and an exceptionally easy grower. Produces plenty of large bulblets 
which germinate readily. 
SUNLIGHT 
The more new glads we see, the better do we like SUNLIGHT. The outer 
portion of the ruffled and slightly fluted blooms is a delicate rose-pink which shades 
imperceptibly to a pure golden center, giving the effect of brilliant light orange. 
Despite its size and brilliant coloring it is as delicately refined as a crown jewel. 
At the N. E. G. S. show in Boston last year it won a blue in the color class, a first 
for “best New England origination,” and was runner-up in the basket class (25 
spikes). At the Maine show, where in 1945 it won the American Home Medal, 
it won in the color class, was division champion and reserve grand champion. 
Every spike we exhibited was taken from our field plantings where they received 
exactly the same care aS we gave our commercial varieties. An extra vigorous 
and tall grower and an extremely fast propagator. It is outstanding, even among 
our “five best.” 
SURFSIDE 
Tall, midseason white that is a grand commercial. A faint trace of red deep 
in the throat enhances its carved marble blooms. Practically a 100 per cent cut- 
ter, even from small bulbs. Always in favor with the florists. 
VAGABOND PRINCE 
Brilliant mahogany with red blotch. Tall grower, unique color and very love- 
ly, but spikes should be cut while still in the bud stage, for the florets fade badly 
in the sun. 
VAN GOLD 
Deep, golden yellow with no markings. Best early yellow we have seen. 
Straight spikes with several nicely placed blooms open. Flowers freely from bulb- 
lets if planted reasonably early. We recommend Van Gold. 
WHITE GOLD 
Giant light eream that has won literally hundreds of blue ribbons. A healthy 
and vigorous grower and a runaway propagator. Not perfect, for to be correctly 
balanced the flower heads should be a few inches longer, but it is a long, long way 
above the average glad.
