536 DYNAMO (Salman ’48) (our 750 
import release) LM. Pastel scarlet, 
deeper on lip, lighter on upper, pales 
a bit at edges, not far from self 
color. Immense round florets 672-7% 
inches diameter. Seed pods are im- 
mense, too. Bulblets germinate fast, 
grow strong, mostly to large bulbs. 
Test rating, B 88. ; 
Each L or M $3.00 Bits 3, $1.00 (units 
but not tied to bulb purchase). 
436 FIRE GLEAM (Jack 749) EM. Deep 
scarlet, cream lines. Its average color 
value will be acceptable if the prom- 
ised 30 inch flower heads materialize. 
Our blooms were 3 weeks early on 
immature plants, so we did not learn.

436 JOHAN van KONYNENBURG 
(kK & M) (our ’47 import release) M. 
Named for one of the founders of 
the great Holland firm. The color is 
clear, rich, glowing orange vermilion. 
Truly, every spike is a show in itself, 
outstanding in any garden, carrying 
up to 10 open blooms, weil faced and 
spaced on tall, extra strong, upright 
spikes, never crooked or bent. Re- 
ceived First Class Certificate at Haar- 
lem, their highest possible award. It 
has turned out to be an excellent 
propagator for us and we are sure 
it will quickly take a high ranking 
place on the cut flower market. 
It was grand champion at the large 
International show in Holland, ’47. 
In ,’49, in published show reports we 
find 10 firsts (though N.A.G.C. prize 
winning tabulators missed them all), 
(Ohio state, Ind. state, Wash. state 
(3), Wis. at Twin City Mich., N. W. 
Ohio at Toledo, Empire at Lima, 
Sioux City, Iowa and Winnipeg).

436 PFITZER’S CENTURY (Pfitzer) 
(our ’47 import release) L. A light 
scarlet masterpiece. Color is clean. 
Holds 8-10 wide open, large florets 
on tall, strong stems. Good propa- 
gator. Named to celebrate the 100th 
year of the famous German nursery 
firm. The Holland growers say it will 
take the world by storm, both for 
exhibition and commercial purposes. 
Has what we call “hot” color. 
We consider this the very best of the 
late varieties. Powerful plants, in- 
tense color, no crooks.

LIGHT PINK—40 Series 
441 CONN. YANKEE (Schenetsky ’44) 
LM. A beautiful blush pink with a 
small orange red feather in the throat. 
Color value is very high and this, to- 
gether with the shapely spikes it 
makes with 8 open and good length, 
helps it to maintain a high place in 
the winner columns. The propagation 
is under the “satisfactory level” and 
the plants have a tendency to mature 
early, after blooming, indicating need 
of early digging. Otherwise we have 
a good glad here, approaching the 
reasonable price range. 
Currently top winner in its class and 
we saw two grand champs (both Pa. 
G. S. shows, 749).

blush white, perfect double row place- 
ment, somewhat ruffled—in fact it 
looks like a larger, much improved 
Rosemarie Pfitzer. There is a flush ~ 
of lavender on the lower petals. 
Medium-tall.

440 PRESIDENT TRUMAN (Salman) 
(A ’48 import release) L. The color is 
a very light, blushed shell pink, tint- 
ing even lighter in the throat. On an 
occasional spike there is a very small 
amount of faint deeper flecking at 
the edges of the petals. A few steps 
away the effect is substantially a self 
color, another glad whose color is not 
far from that of Evangeline. There 
appears to be no question about the 
commercial qualities of this glad 
which stands 5% feet tall on very 
strong stems, holding 8-12 five inch 
florets open in perfect formal outline. 
So, like the President, this glad is 
going to be hard to beat. 
Test rating, B 89.
