Lady Jane e e e e  Belinde) X (Maid of Orleans x Picardy) A standard 
cream with a golden throat which opens 6 or 7 round formally placed florets. A favorite 
with the florists and one of the most useful the home gardener could have to blend with 
other colors. (L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40)

Lancaster bt ORD te enchanting silky true purple that is our choice for the 
best in its class. We love it for its rich depth of color. Makes small bulblets, but they all 
seem to grow. You'll love lustrous Lancaster. Mrs. John A. Swanson, Montana, writes, 
“I used an arrangement in an oyster-white, shell-shaped vase of Lancaster and Lavender 
Prince for a dress-shop window. A couple of suits in harmonizing colors, with a very few 
accessories, were included—the whole window captioned, ‘Featuring Fuchia.’ The entire 
effect was stunning—and so different! I believe the decorative value of these darker glads 
is being largely overlooked. P.S. Both the suits were sold, and they reported a flood of 
calls for that particular color immediately following, which they attributed entirely to the 
drawing power of that window display.” Lancaster is pictured on page 28 and on the back 
cover.

by our florists for its adaptability in make-up work; a happy combination with roses; ideal 
for table bouquets. A “first early” for the cutflower grower. We never have enough of 
this delicate beauty to supply the demand. Pictured on page 30.

is an intermediate tone between true lavender and purple—a shade rather rare in glads and 
very useful. In big demand. Pictured on page 28.
