hybridization. While its creamy white florets with the rose glow in the throat attract the 
florist for specialty work, it is not a true commercial glad because of a weak floret attach- 
ment. Ladies in particular like Bonnie Jeane. 
BRIDESMAID (Wheeler ‘45) 530 
Consistency of performance is characteristic of plain petaled Bridesmaid with its giant 
salmon florets with cream centers. It is a tall variety ,and it opens 6 to 7 florets. Stock 
here too short for quantity listing. 
BURMA (Palmer ‘43) 562 
The heavy crinkled florets of deep rose Burma are very striking, and in combination 
with Leading Lady in a vase or basket it is beautiful. Burma will open 6 to 8 florets at one 
time on spikes of average length. It increases very well. During excessive temperatures cut 
Burma in the bud to prevent burming. It is a great variety. 
CAPSICUM (LaSalle-Arenius ‘45) 543 
A free growing glad that builds a tal! spike and which opens 6 to 8 florets of a nice 
shade of pink, with a lighter throat mark and with deeper pink pepperings. It blooms in mid- 
season, and it is a dependable performer. 
CHANTILLY (Graff ‘46) 44] 
The tall spikes of Chantilly each carrying 8 or more open florets are very impressive. 
The color and blotch is somewhat like that of Frank J. McCoy, one of its parents. The blotch 
may be a bit larger and somewhat less contrasty. When Chantilly is distributed more wide- 
ly it will join the ranks of show winners. 
CHERRY JAM (Zimmer-Gratff ‘43) 543 
The big solid blotch of Cherry Jam on salmon florets attracted many persons in my 
planting. The plant is of average height and produces long flowerheads. It blooms in mid- 
season. 
CHRISTINE (Cave-Graff ‘46) 400 
Marble white Christine with a small light cream throat mark did very well here again. 
It is a mid-early variety which, with its color, makes it a candidate for commercial consider- 
ation. 
COLOR MARVEL (Krueger ‘46) 310 
Florists select Color Marvel out of a group of cut glads quickly. The unusual blend 
of orange, pink, and orange is attractive, and desirable for certain types of floral work. Be- 
cause of its size it does not receive the approval of the typical glad fan. Its fine habits 
make it a very fine variety. 
CONNECTICUT YANKEE (Schenetsky ‘44) 441 
Back in the limelight with a championship is superb Connecticut Yankee, a fine pink 
with a sharp blotch. It builds impressive spikes with 8 or more florets open at one time. 
It will be grown for many years because of its quality. Its floret placement is precise. 
COVER GIRL (LaSalle-Arenius ‘45) 542 
The combination of many open florets of giant size, makes Cover Girl a ‘must have” 
variety for the fancier and the show patron. It is a tall variety that blooms in mid-late sea- 
son. 
CRESCENDO (Grossnickle-Sheely ‘46) 540 
The bluish pink color of Crescendo that approaches rose color, with its 6 open giant 
florets, make an impressive showing. It is average height, and blooms from every bulb 
size. It increases readily. 
CRINKLE CREAM (Ellis ‘40) 410 
In medium yellow, Crinkle Cream has no peer, although it must have adequate 
moisture to produce good flower spikes. Being the best in its color should be enough to 
recommend it. It blooms in mid-season. 
CRITERION (Krueger ‘42) 440 
The success of Criterion in Florida bears out its introductory promise of being a fine 
commercial pink. It produces good spikes under all conditions. Criterion is not spectacular 
in color, but in performance. 
CROWN ORCHID (Almey-Polinsky ‘46) 466 
As it grows here Crown Orchid is the tallest lavender. The color is deeper than that
