10 NOWETA GARDENS 


CHINA MAID (432) (Fischer) (’44) (Midseason) 
(Picardy X Betty Nuthall seedling) China Maid 
is a tall, rich, glowing salmon offset by a bright 
yellow throat. It is one of our best sellers, but 
needs to propogate faster to be a first-rate com- 
mercial. If you tire of Picardy, try China Maid. 
(L 3-25¢c; 10-70c) (M 10-40c) (S 10-30c) (Blbts. 
Pkg. 30c) 
COLOR MARVEL (320) (Krueger) ('46) (Early- 
Midseason) (Picardy X Fata Morgana) X (Diane 
X Golden Goddess) A blend of orange and gold. 
Strong grower and propagator. Hacn’t been out- 
standing with us so far. Name flatters it. (L 1- 
$2.00) (M 1-$1.50) (S 1-$1.00) (Blbts. 10-$1.00) 
COVER GIRL (442) (La Salle) (’40) (Midseason) 
A very tall medium pink that opens up to ten 
512” florets on long flowerheads. Has been 
rather plain for us but has been well received 
elsewhere. Very prolific. (L 1-50c; 10—$4.00) 
(M 1-35c; 10-$2.80) (S 1-20c; 10-$1.60) (Blbts. 
10-35c) 
CRINKLE CREAM (410) (Ellis) (’40) (Midseason) 
A delectable shade of pale yellow that is won- 
derfully pure. A fancier’s favorite that is suc- 
ceeding as a commercial. This summer it was 
short and a very slow propagator. (L 1-25c; 
10-$2.00) (M 2-30c; 10-$1.20) (S 2-20c; 10-80c) 
(Pkg. 30c) 

DAISY MAE (441) (Lins-Ruble) ('45) (Midseason- 
Late) (Rio Rita X Seedling) Tall husky, prolific 
Daisy Mae is one of the best glads introduced 
in recent years. Not a style queen exactly but 
a glad that can take it and like it. Opens 6 to 
8 orangy salmon florets on long flowerheads. 
We had some mighty fine Daisy Mae during the 
summer’s heat. I am enthusiastic about this 
stalwart performer. (L 1—$1.00; 10-$8.00) (M 1- 
75c; 10-$6.00) (S 1-50c; 10-$4.00) (Blbts. 2-25c; 
10-$1.00) 
DIEPPE (452) (Hassall) (45) (Midseason) A 
beautiful shade of velvety salmon-scarlet with 
a slightly deeper throat that has the color ap- 
peal of the old, but famed Pfitzer’s Triumph. 
Opens 6 wide open, well arranged florets on 
good spikes. Seems to be a good grower. Prolific, 
but the blbts, shatter easily during digging. (L 
& M 1-50c; 10-$4.00) (S 1-35c; 10-$2.80) (Blbts. 
5-35¢) 
DISCOVERY (519) (Baerman) (’43) (Early Mid- 
season) (Arethusa X Carioca) Very tall, heavily 
ruffled cream to light yellow with a small dis- 
tinctive red star in the throat. Tall straight 
stems which open 5 to 6 large florets. Very 
distinctive and a good commercial. Sensitive to 
heat and dry weather. (L 3-25c; 10-70c) (M 10- 
40c) (S 10-25c) (Blbts. Pkg. 20c) 

“From 103 bulbs of Beauty’s Blush, I harvested 
1145 quarts of bulblets.’’-—C. H. Welch, II. 
“White Christmas, 
ah, here we have 
something. Ruffling 
is decided. Texture 
decidedly heavy. Be- 
sides 7 open, 6 to 8 
buds showed color 
and 6 to 8 were 
green. Good _ stem. 
Had one spike some- 
what misplaced. Tips 
came out well in 
water and lasted best 
part of two weeks. 
We really do think 
this is lovely. Mr. 
Fischer, and would 
like the privilege of 
listing it this year. 
Poet’s Dream has 
unusual heavy tex- 
ture, a lavender and 
cream blend, and 
very fluted. Should 
be liked by the flor- 
ists. Not a large 
floret but well placed 
with 4 to 5 open. 
Flowerhead not as 
long as some _ but 
long enough. Really 
very beautiful and 
somewhat different.” 
— Glad-A-Way Gar- 
dens, Cal. 
“614-41 (White 
Christmas) is the 
nicest ruffled white I 
have seen. Wedg- 
wood is the prettiest 
combination of col- 
ors I have seen in 
glads. Perfect glad 
for florists—makes a 
corsage that cannot 
be topped.” 
—Bob_ White,. Ia.
