KAWATIRI (Pupich, New Zealand) 516 (EM) 
One of the best newer glads from “down under”. A beautiful soft apricot 
buff with large, lightly ruffled florets of which 8 to 10 are open at a 
time. Spikes are tall and strong, yet very graceful. A variety that 
attracts immediate attention in the garden even though surrounded by 
others of more brilliant coloring. Admired by all who see it, and we 
expect it to become extremely popular. 
L $1.75, M $1.25, S .75, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
LADRONE (Palmer) 433 (M) 
A fine deep salmon with clear yellow throat. <A beautiful combination of 
colors, and we think one of Palmer’s finest. Somewhat reminiscent of 
Beacon, although a much softer and more attractive glad with more 
orange and salmon, and less scarlet in its makeup. 7 or 8 large florets of 
very heavy substance open on spikes of good height. An extremely heavy 
propagator. Should be an extra fine cut flower. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00 
LAKE PLACID (Wilson) 406 (ML) 
Very tall creamy white with yellow throat. Florets are medium large 
and nicely ruffled, and flowerheads are long. A fine cut flower glad. 
L .40, M .30, S .20, Bulblets 15—.25, 100—$1.25 
LADY LUCK (Harris) 440 (M) 
One of our favorites among the ever increasing number of Picardy sports. 
Never fails to give us fine spikes with long stretchy flowerheads, and it 
does not seem to revert as most sports do at times. The florets are a 
little smaller than those of Picardy, and ths color is an attractive clear 
light pink, no throat marking. We are very fond of Lady Luck. 
L .15, M 2—.20, S 4—.20, Bulblets 25—.25, 100—.75 
LA VALLE (Lines 749) 507 (M) 
New giant ivory with red markings. See 1949 Co-Introductions. 
LEADING LADY (Johnston) 506 (M) 
Probably no other glad since Picardy has won so many grand championships 
and other high awards, and it is now one of the leading commercial vari- 
eties. Opens a lot of large creamy white florets at once. Too well known 
to need lengthy description. 
L 2—.25, M 3—.25, S 6—.25, Bulblets 40—.25, 100—.50 
LIPSTICK (Balentine) 441 (M) 
Not a new glad, but a very good one. Introduced in 1941, it was a 
“sleeper” for several years after introduction, suddenly jumping into pop- 
ularity a year or two ago when seen at some of the leading shows. We 
have grown it and boosted its merits for five or six years. Stocks are 
larger than a year ago, and we hope to have#enough for all orders this 
year. A very attractive light pink with a bold blotch of lipstick red. Opens 
7 to 9 medium-large flowers on good spikes. A fine propagator, with prac- 
tically 100% germination. 
L .20, M 2—.25, S 3—.25, Bulblets 25—.25, 100—.75 
MADELEINE BROWN (Maier) 530 (M) 
Practically a duplicate of a good spike of Picardy, giving the impression 
of being a superior strain of that variety. It has been very consistent here 
in making tall spikes with long stretchy flowerheads. 
L .30, M .20, S 2—.20, Bulblets 25—.25, 100—.75 

“CRIMSON TIDE is still tops in its class, although TARAWA pushed 
it close last year.” J. F, C., Murfreesboro, Tenn.
