NEW COMMERCIAL VARIETIES from ROGER ARNETT 
We Have Sold These as Cut-Flowers. We know Their Value! 
MODEST DESCRIPTIONS by ROGER 
AUTUMN QUEEN (Harvest Moon X Picardy) 416 
Quite late. Doubt if it will win many grand championships on the show table. It is a pretty good cut flower for late September 
or October. Seems to like to bloom from small bulbs and bulblets. Color—golden buff with lots of pink. Spike is too tall and 
that’s a fact. You wouldn’t believe me if I should say how high it may be grown. Usually has 18 buds. Number of florets 
open—too many and they hold too long. 12 open is too many, doesn’t take enough spikes to make a basket—to suit the grower. 
Florists kind of like the idea though and the fact the spikes stay in perfect condition for 2 or more days. It makes more bulblets 
than is necessary and they grow easier than some people like. Now after hearing all that, if you want to grow it next year and 
see how badly it is described, you can have it for a price that most of my “fierce” but kindly competitors will say is not enough. 
CANDLELIGHT (Chance seed of Gold Dust) 410 
This has always been the first Glad to bloom in our Gardens. If it bloomed a week or more later, this Glad would be absolutely 
worthless. It has always brought the most money as a cutflower because there was nothing else to be had. Last summer it 
was our only variety that sold for $1.50 per dozen on the wholesale market. It never has more than 16 buds and only holds 5 
florets open. It is a large light yellow. It likes to bloom from small bulbs and bulblets but spikes wouldn’t take any prizes 
at a show. In no sense of the word is this the long sought after “yellow Picardy.’ This is your opportunity to have the first 
bloom of the season. As soon as you get enough stock you will really have a chest of gold with Candlelight. 
DEEP VELVET (Azalea X Rewi Fallu) 452 
If you can use something that will bloom in 65-70 days after planting, then you might try Deep Velvet. Most of the progressive 
florists welcome this one when they can get it. Don’t know why but the general public almost always picks out Deep Velvet. 
Time after time I have seen them choose this one in preference to others that were introduced at $25.00 or more per bulb. It 
will only open 6 florets of its 17 bud spikes at one time. Can’t ever remember its crooking and won’t average more than 48 
inches high in the field. Cuts a pretty good spike at that. Holds its head up after being cut just about as well as any Glad I 
know. If you want some real ‘“Ohs” and ‘“Ahs” from your neighbors just show them some spikes of Deep Velvet. 
Prices on all 3: Bulbs any size, each $1.00; 10—$8.09; 100—$50.00. Bulblets 10—$1.00; 100—$8.00; 14 pint $50.00. 
1950 INTRODUCTIONS from BEATON - ORIGINATORS DESCRIPTIONS 
We have examined these two varieties in the field. We believe you will like them. 
GOLD CHEVRON (Mrs. Hepburn X Mrs. T. E. Langford) 310 
A deeply lacinated, needlepointed and lightly frilled light yellow with no other markings. The 314-4’ wide open florets are 
perfectly placed on a medium heavy and stiff 48” plant, blooming in 85 days and carrying 18 buds on a 24” flowerhead. It 
will open 7 florets with 6 buds in color. No crooks or short heads. Its full lacination carries an appeal not found in conven- 
tional type Glads. As a seedling it received “A” rating at Binghampton ’49 and Oregon T. G. ’48. It scored 82 in N. J. T. 
G. 49 and Commendation Awards at Conn., Eastern N. Y. and West Mass. shows ’48. Heavy propagator.

Here is an odd combination of colors, approaching red, white, and blue. The outer petals are deep pansy violet shading to ivory 
with ruby blotches. It blooms in 90 days, carries 18 buds and will open seven 312-4” florets with 6 buds in color on a 22-24” 
flowerhead. The florets are round, lightly waved and recurved. Excellent substance and perfect placement on medium heavy 
and stiff stems with an overall height of 48”.
