LIPSTICK (Balentine) (M) A blotched glad that is really beautiful 
as well as different. The ground color is light pink, with a large 
blotch of lipstick red. Florets are lightly frilled, about 6 open. 
Not quite as large but more brilliantly colored than Connecticut 
_ Yankee. The ony fault we have been able to find with it is that 
a few stems will crook, especially from large bulbs. A very fast 
propagator of bulblets that nearly all grow. 
M .15, S .10, Bulblets 15—.25, 100—$1.25 
MADELEINE BROWN (Maier) (M) Large salmon pink that seems 
identical with a good spike of Picardy. If it continues to make 
100% good spikes it should take over the Picardy cutflower 
market in time. Where Picardy usually gives us up to 50% stubby 
spikes, Madeleine Brown has always given long stems and flow- 
erheads. 
L .40, M .25, S .12, Bulblets 10—.20, 100—$1.50, 250—$3.00 
MAHASKA (Roberts) (M) Orange salmon with deeper throat; can 
be grown to huge proportions, 7-inch florets have been reported. 
With field culture ours average about 5% inches, with 6 open at 
a time. Quite a distinctive color, performance variable. A good 
propagator and germinator. 
L .25, M .15, S .10, Bulblets 10—.20, 100—$1.50 
MARION PEARL (Benedict) (M) Clear pure pink with 8 or 10 open, 
florets usually well placed. An average propagator, it has been 
in great demand since its introduction. Grows best for us in very 
ordinary soil; stems seem inclined to kink with too much fertil- 
izer. Can be one of the very finest glads in the garden, and has 
been a great show winner. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, Bulblets 3—.25, 10—.60, 50—$2.40 
MARLENE BOTH (Both) (E) One of the good early varieties. A 
nicely ruffled light salmon with about 6 open. A fairly tall rather 
limber stem that might have a tendency to go down in wind or 
rain; it holds up well in our dry summers. Not quite as dainty in 
appearance as Geraldine but seems taller and earlier to bloom. 
L 50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 10—.30, 100—$2.40 
MATOAKA (Brauer) (E) Still the best early black red we have 
found. Rich deep color, tall stems, good propagation and early 
blooming habits are responsible for our liking for this variety. 
L .12, M .08, S .05, Bulblets 100—.30 
MIDWAY (M) A deep pink variety that is being grown in quantity 
on the West coast. The color is good, a slightly subdued shade of 
medium to deep pink with lightly waved florets. 6-8 good sized 
florets open on a tall straight spike. If you can’t yet afford 
Spic & Span, try Midway. 
L .20, M .15, S .10, Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.00 
RED CHERRY grew like mad — gave us a fine spike with 7 
open, lower floret 5%4 inches across. GLADNESS is by far the best 
extra early red I’ve come upon. MYRNA FAY gave us two gorgeous 
spikes of show caliber from the two bulbs; the color was lovely—the 
least flecked of any lavender I ever saw. (Mrs. J. A. S., Montana)
