GORGEOUS 
VICTORY QUEEN X FRANCES M. IRWIN 
(About 85 days)...Sdlg, No. M-196. The most beautiful 
glad we have ever introduced and the most beautiful of 
all glads today of its size wearing very heavy ruffles. This 
is the opinion of many. Very strong attachment, very 
heavy substance, high percentage of straight stems, like 
most glads an occasional off placed floret, good reproducer 
and good germination of blts. If vou like ruffles and a big 
one with beauty to spare, you should gourge yourself with 
Gorgeous and you will not be disappointed. Stood the 
extreme hot sun the past summer without wilt or burn of 
florets. Light salmon with clean yellow blotch, no mark- 
ings, no flecking and not hooded. Healthy upright dark 
green foliage. We have had close to 7 inch florets, 34 inch 
flowerhead, 9 open, 6 in color, 65 inches overall. 
At the East Liverpool show in September, 1948, where 
sdigs, and named varieties were classed together, we made 
a three spike entry of Gorgeous under number, the only 
spikes we had in bloom at the time and tail end bloom at 
that, winning sectional champion, 3 spike champion, 
champion sdlg, and champion of the show. Not bad. 
The name defines the glad, GORGEOUS, the name 
that is in everyones mind when they sce the glad. 
We fully expect to see Gorgeous collect a neat show 
record in the next few years. Per each, No. 2, $8.00; No.

While our photographer muffed the ball, the illustration 
of Gorgeous in this list will give some idea as to general 
makeup of the spike.
