FLYING FORTRESS (Wilson) (M) A huge smoky lavender-gray 
with bright red feather—a startling color and a glad that is 
capable of making spectacular spikes. We had a spike of Flying 
Fortress in our display at the Fair here last summer that 
evoked more comment than anything else shown, and we had 
some other fine varieties and seedlings on exhibit too. While it is 
true that not every bulb grown will produce a spike with ten 
8-inch florets open, when you do get one it is really something! 
L $1.00, M .70, S .40, Bits 3—.30, 10—.80, 100—$6.00 
FRANCES M. IRWIN (Wilson) (M) An unusual shade of purplish- 
rose that most people like very much. Could be a little taller, 
but for color there is nothing just like it. 
M .20, Bulblets 15—.25 
FUCHSIA BELLE (Almey-Polinsky) (EM) A great improvement on 
such older varieties as Grand Master and Leona. Color is a 
clear, bright shade of rose red, and it is reported to be even 
better under artificial light. Many open on very tall stems 
that may lop over in the field under some conditions; should 
be planted deep. A very showy glad. 
L $2.50, M $1.50, S $1.00, Blts .25 ea., 10—$2.00 
GAVOTTE (Roberts) (EM) New frilled pink. See 1947 Introductions. 
GENGHIS KHAN (Scheer) (M) A ruffled medium pink. While we 
have never been able to grow this very well, it is reported to be 
fine in some localities. We list it for the benefit of those who 
are able to grow it better than we can; it apparently doesn’t 
. like our soil or climate, or both. 
M $1.00, S .60, Blts 2—.30, 10—$1.25, 100—$10.00 
GLADNESS (Holland) (VE) Extremely early red. A deeper, better 
red color than J. S. Bach, blooming fully as early. Good size’ 
and height, fine placement and attachment, good propagator. 
The spikes are much more easily handled commercially than 
Bach. We don’t quite understand why Gladness has never been 
planted more extensively for early cutting. So far as we know, 
Leonard Butt of Canada is the only grower in North America 
who has much of a stock of this. We don’t have much our- 
selves, but if you wish to try it out we will include one bulb 
of Gladness free with any order amounting to $5.00 or more, if 
requested. Not for sale this year by us, but you can perhaps 
get it in quantity from Mr. Butt; it is not a high priced variety. 
GLAMIS (Palmer) (EM) An exquisite ruffled pink, cream throat. 
Grows to good height here, some report it grows rather short. 
While it does better if it has plenty of water during the growing 
season, with us it consistently gets up to 4% feet, opening 6 or 
7 large ruffled flowers at once, and is one of the finest pink 
glads we grow. 
L .20, M .12, S .06, Blts 40—.25, 100—.50, 500—$2.00 
GOLDEN STATE (Wheeler) (M) About my favorite yellow to date. 
Deeper in color than either Crinklecream or Oregon Gold, it 
makes a large percentage of very fine spikes, opening 6 or more 
large flowers on good stems. 
M .40, S .25, Bulblets 10—.60, 100—$5.00
