ones still hard to beat are ATHLONE, HELEN OF TROY, PATROL, 
SUNLIGHT, and SUNSPOT. This class now has some very fine varieties. 
The orange class has grown in recent years and now comprises a 
strong class at the shows. The new CIRCE, HENRI DE GRIEVE and 
HUAHUNA look very promising. The Australians ALL GLORY, 
QUIBERON, and SUNKIST will also be heard from and win in this class. 
CHIEF PONTIAC will be hard to beat. Commercially DAISY MAE, LAN- 
TANA, and ORANGE GOLD are the best sellers. 
Of the new salmons the most outstanding are GORGEOUS DEB, a 
very beautiful clean salmon opening up to ten well-placed blooms, MA- 
JESTIC, a new Australian that was quite imposing, PALISADES which 
opens nearly all of its large blooms on a tall spike, and POLYNESE, a new 
European variety that has a nice clean color and opens up to ten blooms. 
They all have the ability to open many blooms, but will have to see them 
another year to evaluate them better. However, they will have plenty of 
competition from such proven varieties as A. L. STEPHEN, BOLDFACE, 
DIEPPH, KING ALFRED, PICARDY, PROSPERITY, SPIC AND SPAN, 
and VICTORY QUEEN, all of which win blues at the shows. 
The scarlet class has one outstanding addition in RED WING which 
opens many well-placed blooms of a nice color on a long spike. This is truly 
a great glad and destined to go places. Of the older varieties that per- 
formed well are ALGONQUIN, CARNIVAL, with its large cream throat 
for contrast, MOUNTAIN GEM, a most robust grower, TARAWA, the 
clearest and perhaps most beautiful scarlet, and of course VALERIA 
which is more widely grown than all of the other scarlets combined. 
The ones that impressed us most in the long, pink class were BER- 
NARD SHAW, a vigorous, tall, deep pink which seems to possess great 
possibilities, BOISE BELLE, a bicolored pink and yellow, EVANGELINE 
which in spite of its misplacing is very outstanding in every other respect, 
LORAINE, a very beautiful pink, and SKYWAY, the most promising early 
commercial prospect. Of course in any listing of outstanding pink glads 
we cannot omit such varieties as BEAUTY’S BLUSH, CONNECTICUT 
YANKEE (still winning grand championships), COVER GIRL (Grand 
Champion at Binghamton), LIPSTICK, MAGNOLIA, MARION PEARL, 
PHANTOM BEAUTY, and YANKEE LASS. 
Of the reds that performed well this past summer are RED CHERRY 
and NEW AMSTERDAM, but we believe they are no better than some of 
the older ones that have proven themselves, such as BIRCH RED, FIRE- 
BRAND, GRACIE ALLEN, MANSOER, MID AMERICA, NANCY, RED 
CHARM, RED RASCAL, and ROYAL WINDSOR, all of which are tops in 
the red class. MID AMERICA is the largest but the new European NEW 
AMSTERDAM will give it competition. RED CHERRY looks like a com- 
ing commercial. For clean, clear color it is hard to beat FIREBRAND, 
GRACIE ALLEN, and BIRCH RED. MANSOER makes a fine exhibition 
spike. RED RASCAL is the best ruffled red. RED CHARM and ROYAL
