LIGHT PINK—49 Series 
441 CONN. YANKEE (Schenetsky '44) LM. 
A beautiful blush pink with a small orange 
red feather in the throat. Color value 
is very high and this, together with the 
shapely spikes it makes with 8 open and 
good length, helps it to maintain a high 
place in the winner columns. The prop- 
agation is under the ‘‘satisfactory level’’ 
and the plants have a tendency to mature 
early after blooming, indicating need of 
early digging. Otherwise we have a good 
glad here, approaching the reasonable 
price range. 
Each L $1.00 M .75 S .50 Bits .10. 
449 HIGH COMMAND (Barrett 743) L. 
fa 
Clean shell pink, faint rose cast. Color is 
not very far from that of Greta Garbo, a 
bit softer and deeper, even closer than 
Greta to the color of the new Evangeline. 
Very strong, tall plants with extremely 
long flowerheads, around 30 inches, up to 
ten 5 inch florets, slightly ruffled, wide 
open. Latest glad in our list, making 
giant flowerheads when little remains in 
the fields except small spikes from small 
bulbs of other varieties. Good habits 
throughout except in an occasional year 
bulblet germination is low. In ‘48 was 
grand champion, Delaware state show. 
L .25 M .20 Bits (100, $1.) (1000, $6.). 
440 MRS. P. COSTA (Both ’46) (our ’48 
import release) M. Very light creamy 
blush white, perfect double row place- 
ment, somewhat ruffled—in fact it looks 
like a larger, much improved Rosemarie 
Pfitzer. There is a flush of lavender on 
the lower petals. Medium-tall. 
L $1.50 M $1.25 S $1.00 Blts .10. 
541 MYSTERY (Stinson ’44) M. Beautiful, 
soft pure pink, bright rose mark in throat. 
One of the few glads that increase their 
color value under artificial light. Giant 
6-7 inch florets, a bit waved and frilled, 
7-9 open, well placed on strong, tall 
flowerheads of around 30 inches. 
L .25 Bits (100, $2.). 
“Bobby Dazzler, from bulblets, was wonderful! A living 
spire of red orange flame.”” M. A. E., Appleton, Minn. 
Ales: Both is an orange Picardy.’’ Winston Roberts, 
“Tuts Both is the first big large flowered variety we have 
seen that is not only called orange, but is orange.’’ 
Claude 
Piesse, West Australia. 
“My bulbs arrived Saturday and what a mistake you made. 
You indeed sent those I asked for, but as many again! It is 
plain to be seen that you are a lover of glads whose business 
Ee them is solely to break even!’”? Rev. Harold W. Freer, 
Ohio. 
443 ALGOMA (Butt '44) M. 

440 PRESIDENT TRUMAN (Salman) (A 
’48 import release) L. The color is a 
very light, blushed shell pink, tinting even 
lighter in the throat. On an occasional 
spike there is a very small amount of 
faint deeper flecking at the edges of the 
petals. A few steps away the effect is 
substantially a self color, another glad 
whose color is not far from that of 
Evangeline. There appears to be no 
question about the commercial qualities 
of this glad which stands 5% feet tall on 
very strong stems, holding 8-12 five inch 
florets open in perfect formal outline. 
So, like the President, this glad is going 
to be hard to beat. 
Probably we do not have enough bulbs 
to go around but while they last 
Bachelso0: 
440 STAR GAZER (Evans ’43) M. Because 
this variety is of the semi-upright type 
and thus departs from established stand- 
ards for placement, it can make no head- 
way in the shows. Clear, pale, very light 
pink, practically speaking, blush white. 
Unmarked except for one very narrow 
cherry line on lip petals. Beautiful florets 
strongly recurved, firmly placed in semi- 
upright position, making long, stretchy 
flowerheads. Blooms long lasting and 
open well to tip. 
L 20. M .10 Bits (100, $2.00). 
540 STELLA ANTISDALE (Evans ’40) EM. 
Smooth, soft light pink, a bit lighter and 
creamy in throat. Color has what might 
be called a suede finish. 6 inch florets, 
7-9 open easily in the field, 18-20 buds on 
tall, strong stems. Foliage is wide and 
breaks open low, allowing easy cutting of 
long spikes. Placement is always _ full 
double row, even when grown from small 
bulbs. Likewise, the large floret size is 
commonly maintained when bloomed 
from small bulbs. Has received a large 
assortment off awards in’ WUesS., Canada; 
AustraJia and New Zealand, including 
Award of Merit and Grand Champion in 
Ohio and Grand Champion in New 
Zealand. 
L .15 M .10 Bits (100, .50) (1000, $3.) 
(Quart $10.). 
DEEP PINK —42 Series 
A buff toned, 
medium-deep pink with a red flush which 
deepens as the flower ages and a very 
spectacular, deep red throat. The color 
is certainly ‘different’? and all other 
details could be aptly described“‘perfect.”’ 
Plants are tall and strong, alwavs straight. 
Opens eight 5 inch florets with ease in 
open field, always well placed. 
L .30 M .20 Bits (100, $2.) (1000, $12.).
