and Marion Pearl. While not as large, they are 
beautiful varieties on their own merits. 
SALMON: 1 Ogarita is a rose salmon with a 
lighter throat that was fine. 2 Spitfire—While not 
so’ large this glad is very attractive in the field. 
LIGHT ROSE: 1H. R. Hancock. In the low price 
field this glad is fine. Grow it once and you will 
always want it. 2 Miss Wisconsin—A new color with 
many open. 
DEEP ROSE: 1 Burma—We like its deep ruffled 
rose red florets; it is different. 2 Red Rose—This is 
a larger, taller variety that is very good here. 
ORANGE: 1 Tut’s Both—A cool, soft orange, 
this is tops in the orange varieties. This and Sir 
Galahad are my choice for the most beautiful glads. 
2 Tunia’s Delight—A little darker in color and very 
good. 
LAVENDER: 1 Minstrel—This is a beautiful or- 
chid colored lavender; ruffled and lacinated florets. 
2 Patrician—This is a new beauty in the lavender 
class. Very scarce as yet. 3 Myrna Fay—Here is a 
new orchid with rose throat, a beauty. Tunia’s 
Masterpiece—This was good here this year, its first 
year on sale in this country. 
LIGHT RED OR SCARLET: 1 Intruder—My choice 
of glads in this color field. Very good this year. 
2 Errey’s Scarlet—A strong growing, velvety textured 
glad that seldom crooks. Commando—A very large 
scarlet that is quite good; we like this one. 
DEEP RED: 1 Mid America—While very new this 
is tops here in our field this year. We grew this 
glad with eleven blooms open and six inch florets 
and have photos to prove it. 2 Red Charm—This is 
an old bu: reliable red, very attractive. New reds 
come and go but Red Charm lives on. 3 Ohio Non- 
pariel—We like this large bright red giant of Wil- 
son's. 4 Firebrand (Butts)—Tall ruffled deep red. 
One of the good ones. 
BLACK RED: Tobruk—A very new black red from 
Australia that is fine. It is a new color all by itself. 
Far surpasses the rest of the black reds. 
PURPLE: 1 Mrs. Mark’s Memory—This is one of 
the better purples, very large blooms. 2 Parnassus 
—A good rich, dark purple with white line on lower 
petal. 
THE BLUES: Porcelain Blue, Blue Ice and Blue 
Lagoon are my choice in a weak color class. There 
dre many other blues but to me they lack beauty. 
SMOKY: 1. Tunia’s Mahomet—A plum colored 
smoky of great beauty. Very good habits, large flo- 
rets on strong, straight stem. To see it is to want 
to grow it. 2 Flying Fortress—A very odd but new 
color in smokies. This flower seems to be a differ- 
ent color in different localities. For us it is a dove 
grey with outer edges of the florets having a brown 
cast or shading. The florets each have a red blotch 
in the throat. This variety opens many florets. 
3 R. B.—This old reliable smoky will give you a lot 
for your money. Its color is a rusty golden brown on 
the outside of the peals or florets and a frosty 
sheen on the inside of the florets. Very unusual.

seedlings in his garden—is —very prominent in glad 
circles. Honorary Vice Pres. of N.E.G.S., writes the 
newsy bulletin of S.C.G.S. and is very largely re- 
sponsible for its extraordinary growth. Every Calli- 
fornia Glad fan should join S.C.G.S. Dr. Evans 
notes, ‘This list is a symposium of varieties as se- 
lected by members of our society.’ (Note—where 
more than four varieties of a color class size were 
listed, we have deleted varieties in excess of that
