Florence Nightingale e e e eT. E. Langford x Pfitzer’s Triumph) 
Florence Nightingale won our whole-hearted approval last summer and was deemed the 
best recent introduction in our trial grounds. Six to eight crisply cut, ruffled white florets 
are precisely arranged on tall, tapering flowerheads. Produced good marketable spikes from 
small bulbs. Bulblets made excellent growth; many of them bloomed. Prolific. A sure-fire 
commercial and a connoisseur’s delight. A poem in sculptured snow-white alabaster. Pic- 
tured on page 31 and on back cover.

e e e a Hollywood star but a good dependable work horse! Gaylore 
fills the bill for the grower of cut flowers. The spikes of this cream-blotched light salmon 
are like peas in a pod. You can cut every one. Does well from small bulbs. Needs to be 
seen in quantity to be fully appreciated. We like Gaylore. Pictured on page 22.

¢ wx & & & «(432) (Sheer, 1941) (80 days) (Mrs. P. W. Sisson x 
Genghis Kahn OO TP Com. Koehl) X Picardy) One of the two or three 
finest salmon glads—a rival of Spic and Span—Genghis Khan bears the distinction of being 
one of the most heavily substanced and most intensely ruffled glads in existence. See 
picture on page 19 and on back cover. We cut quantities of excellent spikes of it from 
mid-season until late from No. 6 bulbs. It opens 5 or 6 waxy florets on a well-proportioned 
spike. Color is a uniform rich salmon with no markings. Sensationally beautiful. Should 
be in every garden. (L 1-.20; 10-1.50) (M 2-.30; 10-1.00) (Blbts. Pkg. .35)

Gerr *_* * (400) (Hatch, 1946) (70 days) (Arethusa x Marleen) The ruffles 
y ° of immaculate Gerry remind one of crisp white lace. It has a 
frosty sheen as if covered with stardust. This ethereal flower seems ashamed of its heavenly 
message as the florets are prone to hang their heads. Excellent growing habits.

eam .. comes loosely attached and doesn’t open very well in water. In spite 
of these faults it was one of our most beautiful yellows again last summer. A rival of 
Aureole in stylishness of ruffling. Its substance is reminiscent of carved ivory. Translucent 
and glistening in sheen. Though a light yellow, its color is smooth and rich. Decidedly heat 
and drouth resistant. An honest grower. Ideal for local use. A fancier’s favorite.
