BLESSED DAMOZEL (440) (Baerman) ('44) 
(Midseason) (New Era x Shirley Temple) A 
more vigorous edition of New Era that is an 
alluring shade ef shell pink. A color marvel; 
trimly tailored. Prolific. (L 1-25c; 10-$2.00) 
(M 2-30c; 10-$1.20) (S 10-60c) (Blbts. Pkg. 30c) 
BLOOMED SEEDLINGS—From the 10 to 15 thou- 
sand seedlings we bloomed this year (each bulb 
different), we saved about 350 for further trial 
and selection. Many judges would have saved 
some we didn’t. Many fans were wild about 
some we didn’t save because we thought we had 
better ones. We are offering these for your 
perusal. Bulbs from parents such as Rose O’ 
Day, Elizabeth the Queen, White Gold, Van 
Gold, Red Charm, Black Diamond, King Lear, 
Arethusia, etc., as well as our choicest seedlings. 
Sor one different. (L 10-$1.00) (Wholesale 100- 
7.00) 
BLUE ADMIRAL (378) (Christ) (733) (Late) 
(Muriel x Heavenly Blue) A good inexpensive 
dark blue that fits the bill for late cutting. 
Does not appreciate hot dry weather. (L 3-25c; 
10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 
BLUE BEAUTY (376) (Pfitzer) (36) (Early) The 
best cheap light blue. A good old reliable. Not 
as clear colored as Better Times or High Life. 
(S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 
BRIGHTSIDE (324) (Prestgard) (734) (Early) 
Still one of the best early cut flowers. It is 
a sprightly, ruffled, bittersweet orange with a 
large golden throat. Heat resistant. Has been 
a good breeder. Cheers one up! Helps one to 
look upon the bright side of things! (L 3-25c; 
10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 
BURMA (462) (Palmer) (’43) (Midseason) (Prem- 
ier Henry X King Lear) Burma ranks among 
the gladiolus greats. Generous broad ruffled 
florets of rose-red velvet are harmoniously com- 
posed on tall substantial stems. A rich, radiant 
rose heart adds to the beauty of coloring. The 
loose attachment and crushing of florets while 
handling wasn’t so noticeable this year. De- 
serves to be in every garden. (L 1-20c; 10-$1.50) 
(M 1-15c; 10-$1.00) (S 4-25c; 10-50c) (Blbts. 
Pkg. 30c) 
CASABLANCA (400) (Majeski) (44) (Late) Cas- 
ablanca is the most important ruffled white 
commercial. Opens 6 to 8 ruffled ivory florets 
on tall spikes. Tho the foliage was affected by 
leaf blight we cut some beautiful blooms. (L 
3-25c; 10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 10-25c) (Bibts. 
Pkg. 20c) 
CENTENNIAL = (536) (Fischer) ('42) —_ (Late) 
(Picardy X Flaming Meteor) We have had some 
perfectly marvelous spikes of this stalwart 
saucer-like scarlet giant. Open 5-6 large blooms 
on a long flowerhead. Centennial blooms much 
more beautifully when it is planted early and 
from large bulbs. (L 3-25c; 10-70c) (M 10-40c) 
(S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 
CHAMOUNY (460) (Baerman) (’38) (Midseason) 
(Red Lory X Picardy) Chamouny is an enchant- 
ing cerise-rose with a silvery picotee edge. In- 
triguing and original. Chamouny sometimes 
comes short, but with growing conditions to its 
liking it is tall and imposing. (L 3-25c; 10-80c) 
(M 10-50c) (S 10-30c) (Blbts. Pkg. 25c) 
CHIEF MULTNOMAH (480) (Ellis) (735) (Mid- 
season) A chocolate smoky enhanced by a red 
blotch in the throat. One of our favorite smok- 
ies. Tall and very vigorous plants produce 4-6 
blooms on lengthy spikes. Performed very well 
during dry weather last summer and the only 
smoky we grow for the florists. Spikes need to 
be cut as they come into bloom or they will lop 
over in the field. (L 3-25c; 10-70c) (M 10-40c) 
(S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c)
