depletes existing stock. It is a consistent performer. It opens up to 8 florets at one 
time. Miss Wisconsin won Grand Champion honors at the Wisconsin show ’47. Miss 
Wisconsin is exceptionally well liked by florists. It has a fine health record 
generally and in Florida. 
MORNING STAR (Van Prooyen ’48) 500 
On several occasions the superlative spikes of this white sport of Picardy have by 
the efforts of the introducer graced the show tables at mid-west shows. Since it 
is a Picardy sport its habits and traits are known. A fine variety. 
MYRNA FAY (Lines ’46) 466 
The fact that Myrna Fay blooms in early season, and that it makes fine spikes make 
it important in the lavender color class. In spite of its flecking tendency, it has 
found favor with some growers, and it should please the ribbon minded fan. 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE (Quackenbush ’47) 420 
Blends of yellow and orange are beautiful, and so is appropriately named October 
Sunshine. It appears that October Sunshine will deserve commercial rating. It is 
a mid-early variety of fine habit. 
ORANGE GOLD (Marshall ’45) 420 
One of the most vigorous plants in the glad world. Orange Gold has a deep orange 
color with a yellow throat. It is very showy and the color is liked by florists. A 
basket of it gets attention at once. Even though the bulblets are difficult to germinate, 
it is a top commercial variety. It is early. 
ORIENTAL PEARL (Carlson-Puerner ’46) 506 
The giant pearly cream color of Oriental Pearl is distinctive, and the five open giant 
florets cover a wide area. It has appeared at several shows and did its share of 
winning. 
PATRICIAN (Scheer ’47) 566 
With two years of growing experience as a basis for my opinion, I believe Patrician to 
be the best new commercial lavender. It makes very large florets of fine color 
with a very faint flecking under some conditions. My stock is, and has been healthy 
and clean. 
PERSONALITY (Butt ’47) 560 
The particular virtue of Personality is the formation of giant florets (7 open) of fine 
keeping qualities. The color is of a subdued shade of rose. The plants grow 
to better than average height. It appears to a fine variety. 
PHANTOM BEAUTY (Bastian ’47) 440 
Precision spikes with precision placement are traits of blush pink Phantom Beauty 
which have given it Championships. The variety opens up to 10 florets at one time. 
It is a variety of great promise. Glad fans will approve of it. 
PIONEER (LaSalle-Arenius 745) 532 
Big, bold Pioneer with its giant florets of deep salmon with yellow centers and §&§ 
open florets, is a superb variety. It will be grown commercially, for its habits are 
desirable. 
QUEEN CHARLOTTE 
It appears as if Queen Charlotte should capture many 300 size championships for 
its fine form spikes with 10 to 12 open florets are capable of it. Queen Charlotte 
is excellent material for the hybridist. A few hours of sunshine on the spike fades 
out the green cast of its florets. 
RED CHERRY (Roberts 46) 450 
Consistency of placement, fine spikes, nice ruffling, and the many open florets (10) 
of this fine scarlet-red, together with its early bloom season made it rank “‘tops’’ 
in competition with all the newcomers to my planting. A great glad for the ‘‘show 
boys’’ and the trade. Highly recommended. 
RED RASCAL (Graff ’45) 550 
The bright red ruffled florets of Red Rascal and the fine spikes that it produces 
make it a fine variety. It is a tall grower that blooms in mid-season from tall 
plants. It increases satisfactorily. 
REDWING (Wright-Graff ’48) 536 
To its past record here as a fine spiker and a fine vibrant color, Redwing added 
fine healthy bulblet growth, and it repeated its production of fine spikes. Redwing
