.1949 Descriptive List 
Lady Marion White) (466) (48) This 
(aaa imene is a. light: lavender. that 
looks like a fine cut flower variety. Has been 
shown in grand form at Binghamton and other 
shows. Opens several well placed blooms on 
an unusually tall strong growing plant. To 
bring out the color at its best it should be 
opened inside. A big seller and coming com- 
mercial variety. 
Lady Wayne (eam) (530) (48) (Mid- 
ins = secson) A large clear 
salmon pink shading to a slightly deeper 
throat. Opens 8 wide open always well 
placed blooms with very strong attachment. 
Has a total of 18-20 buds. Grows up to 5 feet 
tall and always strong straight stem. Very 
strong grower and heavy propagator. Opens 
well when cut in tight bud which insures its 
future as a commercial. Also fine for exhibi- 
tion. Has won a lot of prizes including grand 
championships. A very nice variety. See cut 
on page Q. 
Lake Placid (Wilson) (506) (45) (Late 
ain: mid-season) Cream with 
yellow throat. Looks somewhat like a taller 
Winston. Opens 8 or more 6” blooms. 19 
total buds. Tall strong grower. Good show 
winner and also fine for cut flowers. This 
variety has been somewhat overlooked but 
will be a big seller when better known. 
Laramie (Wilson) (425) (43) (Late) 
Sulueemem Very showy orange. with 
darker blotch. As this grew for me this past 
season it left nothing to be desired either as 
a show flower or for most anything else. It 
certainly is a nice thing. An especially bril- 
liant and showy variety. 
Lavender and Gold (8cerman) 
Ei natin mada (S00) oC 43) 
(Early) One of the prettiest medium size 
lavenders. Very dainty and wonderful for 
home decoration or for florist use. Opens 5 or 
more well spaced blooms on a tall slender 
wiry stem. Have had lots of fine reports on 
this from cut flower growers. Stock is still small. 
41 
Lavender Prince (loSalle) (466) 
ini Sinn atm. -°(44)) (Mid-season) 
Distinct and unusual shade of lavender mauve. 
Tallest growing lavender | know. Lavenders 
as a rule are inclined to be rather short 
stemmed but this one gets up to around 5 feet. 
Opens 6 well placed blooms on a long head. 
Ruffled. 
Leading Lady (Johnston) (506) (42) 
eee an WNC-SedsOn ia. Clean 
white sport of Picardy. Generally considered 
about the best cut flower white on the market 
and a wonderful exhibition variety. Has all 
the good qualities of Picardy except color 
which tho creamy passes for white on any 
market. The main trouble with this and other 
sports of Picardy is that they will occasionally 
revert to pink. But we rogue out every rever- 
sion in our fields and think we have very 
nearly 100% pure strain. However we can’t 
guarantee than an occasional flower will not 
revert at any time. 
Lemon Ice (Jack) (410) (47) (Early) 
~~ Light sulphur yellow with 
deeper throat. Heavily ruffled and fluted. Tall 
strong grower with long flower heads with 
6-7 of 20 buds open. A beautiful light yellow. 
Linda (Baerman) (240) (48) (Mid-season) 
——_—__ Very pretty medium size decorative 
pink. Clear light shade of pink that is very nice 
for wedding work or small arrangements. 
Grows about 3% feet tall with 5-6 open out 
of a total 15 buds. Very nice in its class. 
Lipstick (Balentine) (441) (41) (Mid- 
~~~ season) Very pretty and striking 
ruffled pure shell pink with a bright rose red 
blotch. Blooms are large, of good texture, well 
placed, good attachment on a tall straight 
spike. Open 6-8 with all the rest of the buds 
showing color. Has won prizes the last year 
or two over Connecticut Yankee. 
This is a variety that has been overlooked. 
Just in the last couple of years the growers 
have got on to the fact that it is a very nice 
thing and everyone has been scrambling for 


“Enclosed order for glads. First of all we wish to thank you for the nice healthy bulbs you 
sent us as well as for the generous over count and premium on our order. All of them bloomed 
and we enjoyed every one of them.”
