HI HO (Knight) 432 (M) 
One of the real standouts in our planting of new varieties last summer was 
this beautiful pure pink glad. It has a conspicuous and pleasing white 
center that blends nicely with the clear pink background. Spikes were 
tall and very graceful, with 7 or more 5-inch florets open at once on long 
heads. A sturdy grower, it combines vigor with grace and beautiful color. 
We are most enthusiastic about this fine new variety. While it is a seedling 
of Ogarita, it has none of the coarseness that always marred the latter’s 
appeal for us. A good propagator,

H. R. HANCOCK (Both-Evans) 463 (EM) 
Unique in its particular shade of rose-scarlet with cream center. A very 
pleasing color, but unfortunately it has a habit of making too many short 
plants and flowerheads, Florets are quite large and compactly placed 
with 8 to 10 open. Would be a fine commercial if flowerheads would stretch 
more. A very fast propagator.

HUNTRESS (Jack) 466 (VE) 
Hard for us to decide whether we like Huntress or Myrna Fay better for 
an early lavender, so we grow both in quantity for early cutting. Both have 
good clear color for us if planted early to bloom before our mid-summer 
90-degree heat hits them, Not recommended for later plantings, as 
Huntress in particular flecks and streaks badly then. However if you cut 
in bud for shipping it usually opens a clear color. An exceptionally fine 
propagator, bulblets germinating very well with us; some report slow 
sprouting. There will be improved early lavenders, but Huntress will be a 
popular commercial until hybridists come up with something better.

IGLOO (Butt) 400 CE) 
An early blooming plain petaled snow white that has been somewhat 
neglected in the excitement over the white Picardy sports and the new 
ruffled whites. A very useful cut flower in early season, it blooms at the 
same time as Mt. Index. Florists like both, but for some kinds of work 
they prefer the monotone effect of Igloo; it is really white. 6-7 large 
blooms open on tall spikes. A good propagator.

JANET LEE (Fairchild-Polinsky) 420 (EM) 
A nicely ruffled light salmon of medium height, large flowers. A very 
beautiful new glad of a color that is particularly attractive. Flowerheads 
not too long apparently. A fancier’s delight. 
M $1.75, S $1.25, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00 
JUNE DAY (Roberts) 441 (VE) 
Always the first pink glad to bloom, and usually the first of any color in 
our plantings. Donella blooms practically as early, but June Day is much 
taller. Opens 6 or 7 round 4%-inch plain petaled florets cn long flower- 
heads of 20-22 buds. Does not bloom out all at once, but most blooms 
from large and even medium bulbs will be cut off before Rosa van Lima 
and other so called early pink glads come into bloom. Color is an attractive 
pure pink with small twin blotches of cherry red. An extremely heavy 
propagator of large bulblets which sprout easily and grow into mostly 1’s 
and 2’s the first year. For best results young bulbs should be grown, as 
old bulbs are inclined to split. But it is no trouble to have plenty of young 
bulbs coming on with a glad that is as prolific as June Day. If you grow 
for the early cut flower market you cannot afford to be without it. A 
start now will be a good investment.
