MYRNA FAY (Lines) 466 (VE) 
One of the very earliest of all glads; a tall medium lavender with darker 
throat, sometimes flecked. Florists accept Myrna Fay and Huntress with 
equal enthusiasm altho Myrna Fay is taller. Planted in late March or 
early April as we do for early bloom, Myrna Fay comes on with very ac- 
ceptable color and fine spikes about July 1st. Later plantings blooming in 
the hotter part of the summer show more flecking and are less clean in 
color. 7 to 9 florets of 412-5 inch size open on tall always straight willowy 
spikes. A runaway propagator, bulblets sprouting like weeds and making 
fine growth. One of our standbys for early cut flowers. Even bulblets 
produce good blooms. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.80, 100—$4.00 
MYSTERY (Stinson) 540 (M) 
As a grower not 100% consistent, but at its best one of the most beautiful 
pink glads. A refined pure pink with cherry red throat markings that 
are in harmony with the main color. Like some other varieties, Mystery 
seems to appreciate a little extra care and plenty of water. Well grown, 
it rewards one with fine spikes with about 8 very large beautiful flow- 
ers unexcelled by any of the blotched pinks. A fair propagator. 
L .35, M .25, S .15, Bulblets 10—.20, 100—$1.50 
NANCY (Arnett ’49) 452 (M) 
Fine new commercial red. See 1949 Co-Introductions. 
NILA (Pruitt-Gove) 454 (M) 
A good looking clean dark rosy red. Quite a deep shade, it should prob- 
ably be classed with the black reds, yet it shows a slight undertone of rose 
purple that makes it different and very attractive. About 6 or 7 large 
well shaped flowers open on spikes of fairly good height. 
M .50, S .35, Bulblets 6—.25, 10—.35 
NORMANDIE (Miiler-Kaylor) 540 (M) | 
A very large and very tall light pastel pink shading to cream. One of the 
best varieties in its color, but unfortunately it is a slow propagator. 
Takes time to work up a stock of this, but it is worth it. At least seven 
6-inch florets open on rine spikes. 
L .50, M .35, S .20, Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE (Quackenbush) 420 (M) 
Very tine color, a bright glowing orange buff of unusual carrying power. 
Of those we grew for the first time last summer, we think this variety is 
very near the top in commercial possibilities. Some irregular placement 
was the only fault observed. Opens 7 medium large florets on tall stems, 
good flowerheads. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.80, 100—$6.50 
ORANGE GOLD (Marshall) 422 (EM) 
A brilliant golden orange; the name fits it perfectly. A glad that 
everyone seems to like, and one that is always among the first to be 
spotted by garden visitors. Stems are very tali, flowerheads a little short 
in proportion. 5 or 6 round florets informally placed, well attached. A 
good propagator; bulblets sprout well here without any special treatment, 
and make good growth. Some report irregular germination. 
L .25, M .15, S 2—.20, Bulblets 15—.25, 100—$1.25 

“SEASHELL is really a beauty; the ccloring is soft and has real 
eye-appeal. SUN SPOT is going to be hard to beat for years to come. 
CRIMSON TIDE has exquisite ruffling, good stem and placement of 
florets. I liked it very much.” B. K., Walla Walla, Wash.
