NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
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 on a 24” 
flowerhead with 8 of its 21 buds open and nother 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 Inter- 
national 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 prices: Any size bulb, $5 each. 
No bulblets for sale this year. (If we are sold out 
of the size you order, may we substitute the 
nearest size in stock?)
