1950 Descriptive List 
23 

so long as we would like it but with me this 
past year was very nice just the same. Wonder- 
ful keeper when cut and should be a grand 
flower as well as florist’s variety. Has fine 
substance, good placement and attachment 
and is an all around fine variety. 
Colonial Dame (arrett) (467) (Late) 
TT Ruffled lavender with 
darker blotch. Opens 10 or more with the rest 
in color. Very long flower head with up to 26 
buds. Straight plant of 50’ or more in height. 
A very nice and attractive variety that | think 
will be popular. A spike of blooms look like 
butterfles in flight. 
Color Marvel (kruger) (390) Color is 
| lal i Sanaa a beautiful Slending of 
shades from yellow to bronze. Opens 5-6 
medium size blooms. Nice for the home garden 
but doesn’t open too well when cut. 
Commando (Palmer) (536) (Midsea- 
——_ s0n) Clear light scarlet. A 
little darker than Royal Windsor. Tall slender 
straight plant with 6-9 well placed wide open 
blooms. This is one of the finest reds but has 
never become as popular as it should as my 
stock got mixed early in its career. Can furnish 
clean stock now. 
Concord (Kuhn) (470) (Early) One of 
the earliest purples. Large 
glowing royal purple shading darker in the 
throat. Opens 6 well placed blooms on a tall 
slender plant. Very good propagator. 
Connecticut Yankee (Schenetsky) 
ania wom +s (TOMide 
season) Beautiful clean light pink with reddish 
throat blotch. Opens up to 8 with several 
more showing color. Tall strong grower, one 
that is becoming more popular every year both 
for show purposes and cut flowers. 
Connie G (Woods) (506) (Early) This is 
the most beautiful clear cream 
variety | have ever seen. The lip is yellow 
which almost gives it the appearance of a light 
yellow variety. Exquisitely ruffled and of very 
heavy substance and of exquisite form. Grows 
up to 414 feet or more with the whole spike 
open and showing color. This is one of the 
best varieties that has been introduced in years 
and will be tremendously popular for every 
purpose for which a glad is used. When well 
grown this is simply magnificent. 
Convoy (Palmer) (570) (Midseason) A 
“~~ clear true purple. As nice a 
color in the purple class as | have seen. Opens 
up to 7 huge lightly waved blooms with rolled 
back petals. It doesn't make a very large bulb 
so really hasn't got going the way it should. 
But this past fall the demand for it has been 
very good. Shall not have many bulbs larger 
than No. 3. 
Cordova (Palmer) (432) An early “70 
~~ day’”’ cut flower variety. Lively 
rose salmon. Opens 8-10 medium large blooms 
on a tall straight but willowy spike. A very 
pretty early pink. 
Corona (Palmer) (560) (Midseason) 
“~~ Creamy white shading to a 
cream throat with a rose picotee edge on all 
petals. This variety is large, strong and a 
beautiful color and very much in demand. But 
unless conditions are right it is inclined to be 
weak. Will not stand too much water. Grown 
under fairly dry conditions it is fine. If it were 
a stronger grower under adverse conditions 
it would be one of the most popular varieties 
grown. 
Coronet (almer) (366) Clear unflecked 
—— lavender shade. Medium size 
bloom and medium height spike. Opens 6-7. 
A very beautiful lavender that everyone should 
grow for home decoration and should be used 
by the better class of florists when stock gets 
more plentiful. In the class of Wedgwood but 
different. Opens more and | taink just as pretty. 

“The glads we ordered from you did very well and we are more than pleased with them. 
We thought you woul 
d like to know how the trial bulbs did. SHERWOOD was a beautiful 
glad and PERSONALITY was fine as was also SUMMER GAL, MONTPELIER which we 
think is above SPIC AND SPAN. We plan to have more of MONTPELIER next year.”
