KAYLOR NURSERIES, LAKEWOOD, WASH. 3 
Shree Dlew--1948--Kaylor Glads 
During recent years it seems that 
“Everyman and all his kids” have been 
getting into the game of introducing 
“world beater’ new glads. A lot of these 
new varieties are being introduced too 
soon. A glad should be grown for from 
four to six years so as to find the grem- 
lins that may be lurking around to 
cause trouble. Good glads should pro- 
duce plenty of easily-germinated bulb- 
lets. With a four year test this would 
result in an increase of stock to a point 
where the new one could be sold at a 
reasonably low price. Many sales at 
a small profit seems to us to be better 
than a few sales at a higher return. 
Others do not agree with us. Thus we 
list many two- and three-year-old intro- 
ductions at higher prices than we ask 
for our 1948 releases. We treat the oth- 
er fellow as we would want him to treat 
us and do not cut his prices. 
This year we are offering three new 
ones that have been tested and have 
been found “not wanting.” 
Early Harvest 
A 1942 seedling that we have been 
holding off the market because it has 
been the first glad to bloom in our 
fields and we have had a good demand 
for every spike from local florists. 
Early Harvest is a child of Royal 
Pledge, another very early bloomer. 
Medium scarlet in color with a metaline 
sheen at tips of petals and a deep cream 
throat. It has some ruffling. Stems are 
strong and up to 60 inches tall with 30 
inch flowerhead. Twenty buds, six six- 
inch wide open florets. Blooms well 
from small bulbs, so well that these la- 
ter flowers attract attention in the 
field in competition with the later 
bloomers. L—1—$2.00; M—1—$1.50. 
Smalls and bulblets held to build up 
stock. 
Lindura—“Beautiful Thing” 
Parentage. A tall-growing seedling 
that was discarded because of so much 
competition in the pink class. Crossed 
with pollen from Kulshan. | 
From both parents it gets slender but 
strong stems, good placement and prop- 
agating qualities. Opens eight five-inch 
florets on 55-inch stems. Outer part of 
floret is lavender, inner part deeper, or 
might be called a light plum-purple. 
Early bloomer, always called for by lo- 
cal florists and a 1942 seedling. L—1— 
$2.00; M—1—$1.75; S—1—$1.25; Blts. 
2—$1.25. 
Coy Connie 
Are you getting a bit fed up with all 
the Giant Glads they have been send- 
ing your way recently? How would you 
like some smaller ones? O. K., here is 
one you will like. Stems are about 40 
inches tall with flowerhead in right 
proportion. Six four-inch florets on a 
20 bud spike, all looking straight at you. 
Medium tone of pink with a _ small 
cream throat. The payoff is that it is 
the most ruffled glad we have ever 
seen, and still it is not deformed, every 
floret opens so you can see into it. Are 
you going after prizes in table decora- 
tions at the next show? Try this one, 
especially with tips of Zelladee—you 
can win. A 1942 seedling. L—1—$2.50; 
M—1—$2.00. No smalls or bulblets this 
year. 
Peonies 
Those beautiful and permanent 
perennials may be planted in the spring 
if the work is done very early. Do not 
let them bloom the first year after 
planting and be sure to select a spot 
where they can remain undisturbed for 
several years. 
Cherry Hill. Semi-double garnet red 
on tall stems. Mid-season. 75c. 
Felix Crousse. Large, loosely-built 
crowns on tall stems in a dark pink or 
medium red. Early. 60c. 
Eugene Bigot. Deep red of good size 
and blooming quite late, it extends the 
season of Peony bloom. 75c. 
Mons. Jules Elie. Early globular- 
crown type, and perhaps the most pop- 
ular of pink sorts. 80c. 
Officinalis Rubra Plena. The big deep 
red that is always welcome because it is 
the first to bloom. 75c.
