Ethel Cave Cole e e e e x Picardy) Compared to Friendship, Ethel 
Cave Cole is like a comely milkmaid beside a party-dressed princess; but this buxom, pink- 
cheeked peasant lass is good-natured and willing, and will perform well for you. From 
the same parentage as Deborah Sampson, Magnolia, and Gaylore.

Eureka x *& *& *& «(500) (Fairweather, 1948) (90 days) (Sport of Picardy) In 
e e e ¢ our experience Eureka is the tallest and best-behaved of the 
white sports of Picardy. Makes a grand spike of such crystalline purity one might think 
it was cast in melted wax. Stands between Leading Lady and Silver Wings in whiteness. 
The name comes from the legendary exclamation attributed to Archimedes, who, while 
immersed in his bath, discovered the physical principle governing the buoyancy of floating 
objects. It means, in ancient Greek, “I have found it!” Mr. Fairweather really found 
something when he discovered this beautiful mutation of Picardy in his garden. In my 
glad pilgrimage last summer I saw magnificent Eureka in many places. Pictured on page 32.

4 x *& *& * (560) (Palmer, 1948) (90 days) (Greta Garbo x Elizabeth 
Evangeline e e e ¢* the Queen) Immense pale pure pink that changes to a 
warm pink in certain soil and weather conditions. Not a rose (cool pink), however, under 
any conditions. (Thus, in our experience and observation, officially misclassified when put 
into the same color group as Chamouny.) Evangeline is one of the largest and most vigor- 
ous glads in existence. Opens 8 to 10 six-inch blooms on spikes fully five feet tall. Florets 
are attractively ruffled but lack a certain precision of form. A great show winner and 
destined for wide popularity. All bulbs bulblet-grown.

A lady dressed in pure white. Those tall waxy, lacy spikes possessed the sheer loveliness 
of a charming white bride. Such queenly dignity! Of all the whites we grew last sum- 
mer, Florence Nightingale topped them all. After two season’s testing we feel that we 
can’t propagate it fast enough. Pictured on page 24 and on back cover.

WOLKE K (401) (Fischer, 1949) (70 days) (Angelica X (Sweetheart 
Freedom ee @ x Incense)) The glad with the crusading spirit, the 
patriotic air! Puts on a real parade in the garden: every spike in the row standing up like 
a five-foot flag pole and all in bloom at once—white with a startling rose throat blotch. 
Has greater color brilliance if bloomed indoors; opens unusually well in water. The seven 
to nine ruffled florets open at once make an exceptionally commanding spike. Received 
award as Best Recent Introduction at both the Iowa and Minnesota shows last summer. 
Excellent propagator. Freedom is as martial as the roll of drums! Pictured on pages 9 and 
32 and on back cover.

“Picked a spike of Freedom on August 5 (in bud), wrapped it in newspaper and put 
same in my brother’s car as he was about to leave for Grand Junction, Colorado. Three 
days later, upon arrival, this spike was placed in water and opened within three hours and 
was the finest spike he had seen this season.” —M. B. Johnson, Minnesota.
