CROWN ORCHID (Almey-Polinsky) 467 (M) ; 
A different shade of blue lavender with deeper center: A glad that is 
always among the first to be noticed by garden visitors. Would be better 
without the throat marking, but good anyway. Plant grows to good height 
but flowerhead is not too long. 6-7 large round florets open at a time. 
M $1.00, S .75, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00 
DAISY MAE (Lins-Ruble) 521 (M) 
A very strong growing variety that seems to make uniformly fine spikes 
under all conditions. Very tall, with long flowerhead and 7 to 9 nicely 
rounded florets open at once. The color is not quite as refined as some of 
the newer pinks and salmons, but it has been winning regularly at the 
shows and is acceptable to the florist trade. A rather deep salmon pink 
with dull reddish blotch in the throat. A very fine propagator, and a 
variety that will do well where many others fail. 
L .35, M .20, S 2—.25, Bulblets 10—.35, 100—$2.50 
DEBORAH SAMPSON (Scheer) 440 (M) 
An attractive pale pink shading to cream, a tone reminiscent of the old 
Duna, although a little pinker and makes much better spikes. A fairly 
good propagator of rather small bulblets which germinate quite well but 
make rather small growth the first year. Florets are large, at least 5% 
inches, with 6-8 open on good spikes. 
M $1.00, S .65, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00 
DIADEM (N. H. Lines) 460 (CE) 
Tall medium rose with a small cream throat. This variety was unusually 
good here the past season, and it can make extremely beautiful spikes, 
with 7 to 9 open on tall plants. Introduced as a fragrant glad, its scent is 
usually quite faint and many people are not able to detect it. But we 
recommend it as an early bloomer in the uncrowded rose pink class. The 
originator has lowered the price this year, especially on bulblets, to a point 
where everyone can try Diadem, and it is a good increaser and growerx 
from bulblets. 
L $3.00, M $2.00, S $2.00, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
DIEPPE (Hassall) 432 (EM) 
We think this is one of the greatest glads ever originated, a fine com- 
mercial and a dandy show flower. Color is a dazzling deep salmon or 
flame scarlet, and the florets are beautifully frilled. Opens a long ribbon 
of bloom, 8 to 10 at once, on tall strong plants. Placement and attach- 
ment very good with us. A very fast propagator and bulblets sprout like 
weeds, making fair growth and good bulbs, Be sure to plant plenty cf 
Dieppe this year, now that the price is so much lower. 
L. 25, M .15, S 2—.20, Bulblets 10—.20, 100—$1.50 
DREAM GIRL (Krueger) 461 (ML) 
A tall pale rosy pink with dark rose feather. A very consistent producer 
of tall well-filled spikes with 7 or more open at once. Would be better 
without the throat marking, which detracts somewhat. Doesn’t produce too 
many bulblets, although small stock does pretty well in this respect and 
they germinate well. 
L $1.00, M .75, S 50, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00 
DUSTY MILLER (Elliott) (486 (M) 
A tall growing grayish-rose with small brighter center and cream lines. 
Not only quite attractive in color, but hard to beat for its all around good 
qualities of growth, propagation, substance, and regular spacing and facing. 
If you like smokies, we believe you will like Dusty Miller. Tall, florets 
medium large, 7-9 open, Makes fine bulbs and lots of bulblets.
