COLOR MARVEL (Krueger) 410 (E) 
From some reports we had heard we were prepared to dislike Color Marvel. 
But despite the fact that its name may be a trifle optimistic, its first 
blooming left us enthusiastic in our liking for this early peach yellow. The 
medium sized florets are nicely rounded and well placed on a tall willowy 
stem, Cut flower growers are missing a good thing if they don’t try this 
for early cutting. Its color is distinctive and attractive. The only other 
early variety we know that is at all similar is Bernece, and Color Marvel 
is a better taller grower. Good propagator. 
L 50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00 
CONNECTICUT YANKEE (Schenetsky-Arenius) 441 (EM) 
Long one of our favorite varieties, and still a potential champion at any 
show. A good commercial, too, with 8 or 10 large well placed and attached 
flowers open on good spikes. Not a real fast propagator, but smail stock 
produces bulblets in good quantity for us, and they germinate well. Color 
is clear light pink with an attractive reddish blotch; a little softer effect 
than that of Lipstick. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.06, 100—$8.00 
CONNIE G. (Woods-Graff) 506 (EM) 
We had so many fine new glads in our planting last summer that it is hard 
to say which were our favorites, but of those grown for the first time we 
believe Connie G. topped them all. Hard to find any fault with this gor- 
geously beautiful new glad. An exquisite chaste deep cream, even to the 
stamens. Not a trace of any other color except for a deeper cream or light 
yellow throat. The florets are of waxy texture, very heavy substance, 
needlepointed and heavily ruffled and fluted. A very long flowerhead with 
7 open at once. Stem below flowerhead possibly just a little short. Hybrid- 
izers will be sorry to learn that it apparently produces no pollen and not 
much seed, For the ultimate in beauty be sure to invest in Connie G. 
Bulbs, any size $5.00. No bulblets this year. 
COVENTRY (Glass) 411 (M) 
A sister seeding of Sparks that is not as striking or attractive to our way 
of thinking. However it is a good grower, and some may prefer the smaller 
throat marking and the softer effect of Coventry. Florets are mildly 
ruffled, 5 inches in size, with 6 or 7 open. 
L $1.00, M .60, S .40, Bulblets 5—.25, 10—.40, 100—$3.00 
CRIMSON TIDE (Roberts) 452 (M) 
One of the very few deeper crimson reds that have heavily ruffled florets. 
Red Rascal and Tarawa may fall in this class, but Crimson Tide is even 
more heavily ruffled and the petal substance is extremely thick and 
leathery. A very rich shade of red, with a small white center. A medium 
tall grower, opening 5 or 6 five-inch flowers at a time. Bulblets should be 
cracked or peeled for satisfactory germination. 
L .75, M .50, S .30, Bulblets 3—.20, 10—.60, 100—$4.00 
CRINKLE CREAM (Ellis) 410 (M) 
One of the finest yellows to date. A slightly ruffled medium to light 
yellow, not a cream. Beautiful clear coloring. Grows tall and large with 
fairly good culture. Opens 5 or 6 on good spikes, and is a good propagator 
and germinator of bulblets. 
L .15, M 2—.20, S 4—.25, Bulblets 40—.25, 100—.50 
“Everything purchased from last year did wonderfully well. The 
“ten” bulblets of SUN SPOT made 8 large and 6 medium bulbs, and every 
one made a good spike. It is a beautiful glad.”
