TRIUMPH (1948): Dark scarlet with cream fea- 
ther; 26” head on 58” stalk; 20 buds that open 6 
and show 5. Plain, wide open, well faced and at- 
tached 5” florets are a little frilled at the edges. 
One of the most vigorous of our introductions. 
Commendation, NEGS 1947. 
Price: Large - $1.00; Medium - 75¢; Small - 50¢. 
VEGA (1947): This is a smaller sister of Canopus 
with all the latter’s best characteristics. It has 
great promise as a commercial for it opens to the 
tip from tight bud and has fine lasting qualities. 
Grows up to 60” high with 24” to 28” head of 16 
to 18 buds under northern conditions. The 544” 
florets are flat open, fluted, and of very heavy 
texture. Six to seven are open and five or more 
show color. It was first in both One Spike Open 
and Recent Introduction classes at Boston, 1948. 
Price: Large - $1.00: Medium - 75¢; Small - 50¢. 
STEPHANIE (1947): In many ways our favorite 
flower. But it does not behave consistently. For 
every report we have of a good or outstanding 
bloom, we have a letter telling that it did nothing. 
So we are giving it again this year as a premium 
with each $12.00 of bulbs ordered, one large, two 
medium or four small as you request and as long 
as our supply lasts. It is a heavily ruffled crearm 
and yellow with deep salmon pink edging on its 
petals, and has, in spite of its variability, won a 
number of prizes. — A 
1949 INTRODUCTIONS 
AQUILA (Aladdin x Charles Dickens): This flow- 
er appears worthy to be included in our list of 
beautiful glads. It was judged the Best Seedling 
in the 1948 Maine Show, after winning in the 
One Spike Open Class against strong competi- 
tion. Color is white with a small feather of 
crimson. Plant is robust, producing a 50” or long- 
er spike with a 22” to 26” head of 16 or more 
buds. The 51%” plain florets are flat open, firmly 
and closely attached and well faced. 
Price: Large - $3.00: Medium - $2.00. 
CIRCE (Shirley Temple x seedling of (Picardy x 
J. S. Bach)): Award of Commendation, NEGS. 1947. 
Very light cream suffused with faint pink much as 
though a red light is reflected from the petals. 
A darker cream throat and lavender stamens 
add to its beauty. The petals are wide open, 
creased and slightly ruffled, giving a pointed ef- 
fect. In Vermont, in 1947 and again in 1948, it 
grew 62” tall, with 29” head and 18 buds inform- 
ally arranged. The 5” florets opened 9 while 5 
showed color. 
Price: Large - $3.00: Medium - $2.00.
