Well known varieties are listed separately following this general list without color 
descriptions. 
ABIGAIL (Myers-Milo ’46) 466 
A very fine lavender of vigorous growth. It is of the same fine lavender shade as 
Minuet, with a throat marking like that variety. Abigail blooms in Mid-early season 
and opens 8 florets at one time. It increases very satisfactorily. It is a variety of 
great promise in a color class that needs added varieties of merit, particularly those 
that grow tall. 
ASTRID (Jack-Gove °46) 462 
A very desirable rcse of fine color values. Its ruffling adds to its beauty. Astrid 
blooms in early mid-season from plants of average height. A basket or vase of this 
variety is truly beautiful. 
BEAUTY’S BLUSH (Fischer ’47) 440 
The first spikes of Beauty’s Blush that I saw at the Garfield Park show in 1946 caused 
me to note it for purchase. A fine variety for the color conscious fan. It should be 
classed as cream. 
BIRCH RED (Rich ’45) 552 
A large flower, deep red, with a fine color sheen that will find its way to success, 
in shop, field, and show, on its fine qualities. 
BLUE BONNET (Beardmore ’48) 576 
A recital of the color combination, medium to pale blue, with a rosy red throat 
mark does not seem exciting, but the purity of color and the fine saturation of 
its colors combined with its large sized and regularly placed florets make it a 
beauty. It is a worth while variety. 
BLUE ICE (Butt 745) 576 
One, if not the only one, of the violets that can produce a 6’’ floret. Blue Ice is a 
light violet with a small cream blotch and a pale yellow crescent, that grows tall 
and produces spikes of 60’’ height which carry 6 open florets. Its color is presented 
as an infusion of bluish particles in a light colored floret substance. It is consistent 
in performance here. 
BLUE LAGOON (Snyder ’46) 478 
A medium violet of cup shaped florets that grows very tall and which propagates 
rapidly. It will exceed the leading ‘‘blue’’ in adverse growing conditions (inadequate 
moisture) and for that reason Blue Lagoon is of commercial importance. Its bulbs 
are healthy. Cup shaped florets. 
BOISE BELLE (Roberts ’48) 343 
Boise Belle offers a new colar arrangement, that of a cream yellow florets with a 
pink halo of sharp marginal line. A basket of this variety with its many open florets 
would delight any fan or florist. It should win handily. 
COLOR MARVEL (Krueger ’46) * 310 
Florists select Color Marvel out of a group of cut glads quickly. The unusual blend 
of orange, pink, and orange is attractive, and desirable for certain types of floral 
work. Because of its size it does not receive the approval of the typical glad fan. 
Its fine habits make it a very fine variety. 
CONNECTICUT YANKEE (Schenetsky 744) 441 
Back in the limelight with a championship is superb Connecticut Yankee, a fine pink 
with a sharp blotch. It builds impressive spikes with 8 or more florets open at one 
time. It will be grown for many years because of its quality. Its floret placement 
is precise.
