BIRCH RED 
A very substantial medium red with 
round florets of heavy substance. 
Medium length flower head but a 
good commercial. I recommend it. 
BLACK CHERRY 
A fine, deep black-red, with extreme- 
ly large florets—will open 8. A sure 
winner in its class and a good 
florists variety. 
BLACK PANTHER 
Dark, velvet red with large florets. 
Strong growing.. A good medium 
priced variety. 
BLUE ICE 
Tall glowing, light blue with cream 
throat and deep blue feather. Large 
florets, but lacking substance if 
weather is not ideal for its growing. 
BLUE LAGOON 
Medium blue with lighter throat. A 
tall, strong grower. Will bloom 
from bulblets. Straight spikes. For 
me the best commercial Blue. 
BOISE BELLE 
Has attracted a lot of attention this 
year and is in great demand. Deep 
pink with yellow lip petals and at- 
tractive yellow edging of florets. 
Opens 9 to 12, ruffled blooms. Late 
mid-season. A winner. 
THE BRIDE 
I like this medium sized pure white 
with its small rose throat marking. 
BURMA 
Everybody’s favorite, deep ruffled 
rose. Tall growing and very fine 
both for exhibition and the cut flower 
trade. 
CHANTILLY 
A choice light pink with deeper pink 
throat holding a soft rose feather. 
Tall and opens many florets. Excel- 
lent. 
CHRISTINE 
An immense white of much merit. 
Usually opens four or five florets, but 
they are sufficient to make a dandy 
spike of bloom. Bulblets need at- 
tention to get them to germinate. 
COLOR MARVEL 
One of those varieties which build 
up popularity slowly but surely. 
Medium sized florets on a tall, 
straight stem. Its striking combina- 
tion of pastels—yellow, orange, and 
pink—make it a desired florists glad. 
CONNECTICUT YANKEE 
More of an exhibition than commer- 
cial variety- because of slow propaga- 
tion. A deep pink with many large 
formally placed florets. Very good. 
CONNIE G 
A new style, tall ruffled cream, which 
created .much favorable comment 
during its first year. Won practical- 
ly everywhere shown. Opens 8 
large, well placed florets. Still high 
priced but worth it. Why not invest 
in it while new? 
CRACKER JACK 
A reliable early, tall growing variety 
in orange tones. A good cut flower 
variety. Propagates fast and is easy 
growing. 
CONCORD 
A royal purple with some ruffling. 
Rated as a good florists variety. An 
excellent early variety for this color 
class. 
DAISY MAE 
Makes a large spike of deep rosy 
orange florets which have a cherry 
blotch in throat. Florets around 6 
inches and many open. A good com- 
mercial which is dependable and easy 
to grow. 
DAWN GLOW 
This variety is gaining in popularity. 
A fine combination of sunrise colors. 
Usually short on the bud count but 
this is offset by favorable coloring, 
good substance and a practical flo- 
rists spike. 
DEBORAH SAMPSON 
At the Wisconsin Seedling and re- 
cent introduction show last August, 
this variety was compared with 
Evangeline and Phantom Beauty. 
General coloring was much the same 
and all three were excellent. All 
three have won top awards. You 
should grow them all as each has 
distinctive features to its credit. 
DESTINY 
A bright red, one of the reddest 
Glads, with white pencilling. A very 
fine commercial and one I highly 
recommend. 
DIEPPE 
An orange red. A very reliable grow- 
er. Opens 6-7 good sized florets on 
a tall straight spike. 
DONELLA 
Early pink, spikes rather’ short. 
Recommended mostly because of its 
earliness. Its large bulblets are vig- 
orous and make large bulbs. 
DREAM GIRL 
A choice commercial pastel rose pink. 
Medium sized florets with 8 open on 
tall whip-like stem. Medium propa- 
gator but excellent and highly 
recommended. 
EUREKA 
Highly rated as a commercial white. 
It is a Picardy sport, carrying some 
of the usual Picardy growing habits. 
Florets 5144”, up to 8 open. Propaga- 
tion, good. 
EVANGELINE 
The show sensation. A _ beautiful 
pink with slight lavender tone and 
slightly yellow throat. Grows very 
tall with ten immense ruffled florets 
which occasionally come with some 
irregular placement. Invest in this 
variety now while it is new for a 
profitable investment. 
FABULOUS 
I didn’t care too much for this variety 
when I first grew it, but it has proved 
much worthwhile for florists decora- 
tive work. Color—deep pink with 
cream throat marked with a cherry- 
red crescent blotch. 
FUCHSIA BELLE 
A very fine color—-deep fuchsia red 
—tall growing with 8-10 medium 
sized florets open. Crooks some but 
still excellent. 
GARDEN GOLD 
The buff lip petals on this large, 
medium yellow add richness to its 
good color. Tall spikes, with six 
open. Propagates a little slowly but 
it is good. 
GLEAM 
Highly ruffled florets of heavy sub- 
stance. Medium yellow, a little short 
and only opens about four. Spikes 
of good substance and keeping 
qualities. Has its place among the 
yellows. 
GOLDEN ARROW 
Medium yellow. Grows tall with 6 
to 8 florets open. Propagates fast and 
is easy to grow.

florets with green cast. A _ useful 
variety for florists looking for odd 
and new shades.

and valuable cut flower. Slightly 
ruffled and many open. Appreciated 
by florists.

large florets. Makes large bulblets 
which make cuttable spikes for late - 
fall.

A most satisfactory late deep red. 
Tall spikes with 5-6 large florets. 
Rates well as a commercial. 
KLONDIKE 
Early golden yellow. Medium sized 
florets with 8 open. Some ruffling. 
Heavy substance making it very suit- 
able for the commercial market. 
LADY ANNE 
Not too tall, but still good cutting 
spikes. Florets have wide spacing, 
are large, white, with some yellow 
in throat. <A good cutting variety 
and early. 
LAKE PLACID 
Tall ruffled cream. 5” florets, 7 open. 
Some yellow in throat. Strong, con- 
sistent grower. 
LAVENDER PRINCE 
A very fine medium lavender. Spikes 
always tall and straight. Makes good 
bulbs and bulblets. Are easy to 
grow. Well liked by the florists. 
LEADING LADY 
Everybody knows about Leading 
Lady. One of the greatest show win- 
ners of all time. Excellent commer- 
cial as well as exhibition. Should be 
in every garden. 
LIPSTICK 
A dandy shell pink with rose blotch. 
Tall spikes with most florets open or 
buds showing color. Ruffled. An 
older variety rapidly coming to the 
fore as a cut flower variety. Also a 
great show winner. 
MARGARET WOOD 
One of my favorite dark colors, a 
rich wine purple. Florets immense 
with informal placement. Opens only 
4 or 5 but they are large and beau- 
tiful. A good cut flower variety.
