FROM ALFRED L. MOSES 
Gail (Farrington-Moses) (49) (466-80) ‘‘After two years of testing this glad which was 
——__ originated in the mid-south, | am convinced it is as good as anything | have seen. It is 
a 400 class glad that consistently makes a tall stretchy spike with beautiful placement of its 7-9 
open florets with gracefully recurving petals. Attachment is of the best making it easy to handle 
in quanfity. It is light lavender about the color of Minuet shading to deeper lavender at the 
petal edges with a light penciling of rose cerise on the lower petals deep in the throat. | have 
never seen a crooked spike or the slightest sign of flaking in any weather condition, and it 
stands heat excellently. It opens well in water, keeping its size to the tip. After two years | 
am unable to name even the slightest fault except that it is just an average increaser. Mr. Far- 
rington selected it from hundreds of fine seedlings and says it is tops and | agree with him.” 
The above is Mr. Moses own description. 
Price $3.00 for any size bulb. 1 bulb and 10 bulblets for $6.00 (Bulblets sold only with
