BEACON. A fine bright rose-scarlet 
with a creamy blotch in the throat 
The plant is tall and carries from 8 
to 10 large ruffled blooms, nicely ar- 
ranged, and open at one time. This 
is a top cut-flower variety and a Glad 
that is liked by all. A real show 
flower. 
BLACK PANTHER. [If you are look 
ing for the blackest of all dark reds, 
this is the one. It is not only the 
darkest, but it is also the best in its 
color class. It is a tall early midseason 
variety with long spikes that carry a 
number of wide open florets. Very 
fine. 
Each 70c; 6 for $4.00; 12 for $7.50 
CORONA. A decidedly rich creamy 
white shading to a deeper cream 
throat. The petals are edged a bright 
rose. A tall stout grower and consid 
ered by many the best Glad intro- 
duced in recent years. Six to eight 
very fine large wide open blooms are 
open at one time, with many more 
in the bud. 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN. A beau 
tiful new lavender and one of the 
very best of this color. A clear lav- 
ender-mauve, with darker shadings in 
the throat. It often grows 5 feet tall 
with 7 to 8 fine flowers open at once. 
KING LEAR. A clear deep red-purple 
with a silver line on the edge of all 
the ruffled petals. Unlike all other 
red-purples and a most satisfying va- 
riety. 
NAVAHO. A beautifully formed pure 
red of great substance. Fine spikes 
carry from 16 to 18 buds with many 
fully open at one time. Early midsea- 
son. An excellent cut flower. 
Each 50c; 6 for $2.75; 12 for $5.00 
[15] 
RIO RITA. Best of all orange Glads. 
A true rich orange, not a salmon. 
Like Picardy, it opens large florets the 
entire length of the spike. Very much 
in demand. Order early. 
ROSA VAN LIMA. A very pretty 
light rose shading deeper toward the 
throat. Opens 8 or more well-placed 
blooms on a tall spike. A fine show 
flower and a great commercial flower. 
SNOW PRINCESS. As its name im- 
plies, this is a very early rich creamy 
white that is fast forging to the head 
as probably the finest of all whites 
It is a strong variety in the field, a 
magnificent show flower, and a great 
shipper. Liked by all. 
STOPLIGHT. This is one of the com 
ing great Glads. This fine variety 
never fails to produce a wonder-crop 
of absolutely first class blooms ii 
great profusion. If you wish a fin 
red that is a winner in the show room, 
try Stoplight.
