FROM HATCH GARDENS 
Mansfield (540) Geedling No. 1944-13) (Lady Jane x Aladdin) Flesh color shading to 
— pink. Mr. Hatch calls it peaches and cream but | don’t think it is really dark 
enough for that description. Anyhow it is very beautiful and quite similar to Mt. Baker from 
Mr. Cave that is listed on page 8 except that it blends to pink instead of lavender. 
It opens 7-8 six inch blooms on a spike of 20 buds and 24 inch head. Finely but beautifully 
ruffled. Placement and attachment are good. Grows up to 5 feet. Good opener in water. Good 
propagator but in the rush last spring Mr. Hatch missed planting the bulblets. So | can furnish 
only 2 year old bulbs. This is one of the best new ones | saw last season. 
Price $5.00 each. 
Stateliness (442) (Seedling No. 46-3) (Gen. MacArthur x Janice) Deep pink with 
—— somewhat darker feather. It opens 10-12 and occasionally as high as 14 
blooms at a time. Has 20-24 buds. This past season Mr. Hatch had one with 31 buds. Nearly 
the whole spike shows color at once. Good placement and attachment. Grows to 5 feet or 
taller. Makes a wonderful show spike with double row placement. Stands up well after cutting. 
Here is a variety that has about everything tho to me personally the color is not so clear as 
| like but | am sure a great many people will like it because of its huge ideal spikes and good 
garden performance. Fine propagator. See picture cover Ill. 
Price $2.00 for any size. 
FROM MYRON KADEL 
(Originator's description) 
Clarence D. Fortnam (Red Penny X Myrna) We believe and hope that this glad 
will prove to be a fitting memorial to the great showman for 
whom it is named. 
“CLARENCE D. FORTNAM” is a glad with a statuesque beauty, blush pink in color. Its 
5” florets, heavily ruffled and needlepoint, are borne ona 24” flowerhead with 8 of its 21 buds 
open and another 8 showing color. The champion spike at the 1949 Maryland show held 10 
open on the second day. The height of the plant in the field is 56’. It blooms in 90 days from 
bulbs planted directly from cold storage. If the bulbs are sprouted at planting time they will 
doubtlessly bloom a week to ten days earlier. Bulblet production and germination are excellent. 
Its heavy substance, tight attachment and ability to open when cut make it a promising cutflower. 
As an exhibition variety its show record speaks for itself. 
1948: Voted ‘‘most beautiful’ at Eastern International Show, Winner of American Home 
Achievement Medal at both the Keystone State and Maryland shows. 
1949: Grand champion at Maryland show. Best spike in open division, and ‘‘most beautiful” 
at the Eastern International Show. ‘‘Most Beautiful,’’ and second day champion at the Lima 
show. 
Introductory price: Any size bulb, $5.00 each. No bulblets for sale this year. (If we are 
sold out of the size you order, may be substitute the nearest size in stock?)
