GOLDEN STATE (Wheeler) 512 (ML) 
One of our favorite yellows for many years, and we still like it about as 
well as any. A clear quite deep yellow as it grows here, with 7 or 8 
large well opened flowers on good spikes. Later to bloom than most 
yellows, it comes on after many others are gone. A heavy bulblet producer, 
but germination is rather spotty without special treatment, 
L .25, M .20, S 2—.25, Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.00 
GOLD MEDAL (Beardmore-Krueger) 516 (M) 
A very large buff yellow with about 6 open on tall spikes. The florets 
are lightly frilled and are rather informally placed. Probably not a 
commercial prospect, but a very interesting variety that will be in demand 
by the fancier and home gardener. Cut flower growers who specialize in 
local sales will also find Gold Medal a good seller. 
L $2.50, M $2.00, S $1.50, Bulblets .30, 10—$2.50 
GRACIE ALLEN (Wilson) 450 (M) 
For color this is one of the most beautiful of all the scarlets and reds. 
However large bulbs often split, making shorter spikes than when grown 
from medium or smaller sizes. Except for this fault it is one of the very 
best in its color, which is a soft yet quite brilliant scarlet red of self color. 
An exceptionally fine propagator and makes nice bulbs.

HEARTS DESIRE (Fiedler-Puerner) 540 (EM) 
Along with Connie G, Red Wing, and one or two others, Hearts Desire was 
tops among the dozens of new and near-new varieties that we grew for 
the first time last summer, A superbly beautiful medium to light creamy 
pink with very heavily ruffled florets. 6 to 8 of these very large lacy 
appearing flowers are open on tall spikes with good flowerheads. It will 
surely take the place of many older glads in this color, including Grace 
Estella, Gavotte, Bengasi, etc., when more stock is available for wider 
distribution. An investment in Hearts Desire now should pay good future 
dividends. We wish we had much more of it. 
L $2.00, M $1.75, S $1.50, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00 
HIAWATHA (Beardmore-Graff) 436 (M) 
Light scarlet with about 6 good sized flowers open on spikes of medium 
height. From the same cross as Red Cherry (Picardy x Tip Top), but not 
as tall growing nor as brilliantly colored. Has a good show record. Maybe 
we’re prejudiced (although we try not to be) but we prefer Red Cherry. 
L $3.00, M $2.00, S $1.00, Bulblets .40, 10—$3.20, 100—$24.00 
HIGH COMMAND (Barrett) 540 (M) | 
We think that this very tall growing large flowered light pink has been 
overlooked too long. We have found it to be a strong easy grower, and 
it makes imposing and very attractive spikes. The color is a rather pale 
pink, yet it does not have that “washed out” appearance that spoils the 
effect of some of the lighter colors. Good propagation and germination. 
Among its winnings we note that it was Grand Champion spike at the 
1948 Delaware show. Should also make a fine cut flower. 
M .15, S 2—.20, Bulblets 10—.20, 100—$1.50 
HIGH LIFE (K. & M., Holland) 477 (EM) 
Except for the newer Blue Boy which is slightly darker, this variety is our 
favorite of the medium-light blues. Florets are of medium size, about 6 
open on tall stems. Considerable taller here than Better Times, although 
the latter is said to be a better dry weather glad.
