BUTTERSCOTCH (Langworthy-Gladland) 531 (M) 
Among all the fine new varieties this is one of our favorites. As co-intro- 
ducer last year we recommended it highly, and its 1948 performance left 
nothing to be desired. Color is a soft salmon-buff enlightened with a 
fairly prominent harmonizing blotch of deeper rose salmon. Florets are 
large, lightly ruffled, well attached and informal, although usually well 
placed. Butterscotch has been well accepted by florists in the Los Angeles 
area, and has won several prominent awards, including Reserve Champion 
at the large Southern California show in 1948. Good propagator and germ- 
inator of bulblets. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00 
CARNIVAL (Butt) 451 (M) 
A bright ruffled red with very heavy substance and a prominent white 
throat. An unusual and beautiful combination of colors, its only rival! 
being Burlington. Has the same vivid contrast of glowing red and pure 
white that made the old variety Victor so popular years ago, but unlike 
that variety, Carnival has a strong sturdy stem. Opens 6 or more on fairly 
tall spikes. Good grower and increaser. 
L $1.00, M .60, S .40, Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00 
CHARMOLUCK (Wilson) 483 (M) 
Many people who do not care for smokies as a class will like the soft 
orange-tan and smoky rose tones of Charmoluck. As beautifully blended 
as some of our fine new varieties of iris, the colors shade to a creamy 
center. Makes good spikes of medium height, with 6 or 7 five-inch florets 
open at a time, Much admired in our garden. 
L $1.50, M $1.25, S $1.00, Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.20, 100—$9.00 
CLEO (Youmans) 431 (M) 
As one of four growers selected to co-introduce Cleo last season, we were 
pleased to highly recommend its purchase, for we had grown it as a seedling 
and were convinced of its high quality. An unusual shade of soft warm 
creamy pink, enlivened with a striking but rather diffused blotch of deeper 
buff pink. A most original and striking effect, made even more so by the 
unique crimping of the lower petals. Opens 7 to 9 five-inch florets on fine 
tall spikes, Makes plenty of bulblets which are only fair germinators and 
do not make very large growth the first year. Most beautiful spike and 
Grand Champion at the Elmira, N. Y. Show, 1948. 
L $3.00, M $2.00, S $1.50, Bulblets .35, 10—$3.00, 100—$24.00 
COLOGNE (Roberts) 342 (New Era x Incense) (EM) 
Most reports from those who tried Cologne last year indicate that it is 
probably the most fragrant glad originated to date. It should be a stepping 
stone to even better fragrant varieties as it is a good seed and pollen 
parent, and we have found that it transmits its fragrance to many of its 
seedlings. Up to 5 feet in height, it opens 5 or 6 four-inch florets on a 
good flowerhead. The color is a bright and attractive deep pink with cream 
throat. Worth growing for its color alone, but its pleasing scent (variously 
described as “‘tea rose” or “ripe peach’) is easily detected, particularly 
in the morning on newly opened florets. 
Bulbs, any size $1.00, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
“The first glad to bloom was PERFUME. JUNE DAY followed it 
in a couple of days but it was planted a week later. Considering its 
earliness, June Day seems to have everything. It makes a graceful spike 
and the color is most pleasing. I haven’t found any pink glad in a florist 
variety to compare with it.” J .,O7;alriaxcev ae
