Tennessee: “I have some 350 to 400 of the 
best varieties but my proudest possession is 
some 8 or 10 bulbs and 150 bulblets of Wedg- 
wood. All of your introductions do well for 
me.’’—Dr. W. T. Henderson. 

South Dakota: ‘‘The Friendship spikes you 
gave me I took to Albert Lea before putting 
them in water. They were like rags when we 
got there but next morning they were beautiful. 
I carried them home in water next day and they 
lasted almost a week and bloomed clear to the 
tips. I believe you really have a beautiful com- 
mercial there.’’—F. S. Watson. 
New York: ‘‘White Christmas was wonderful 
last season. Upward of thirty florists visit my 
field at least twice a week for their supply of 
cut glads. They all liked White Christmas bet- 
ter than any other white . . . and begged for 
a few spikes for their windows. They also liked 
Gratitude better than any other orange. It was 
also wonderful in growth.’’—James Marsh. 
Ohio: ‘‘Freedom and White Christmas are to 
me the last word in whites. Poet’s Dream is 
well received by the florists here. I'll take your 
Regal Red in place of the highly touted________. 
I believe that Gratitude will be THE fliorist’s 
orange as soon as stock permits quantity buy- 
ing.’’—S. G. Lucas. 

Wisconsin: ‘The Noweta introductions were 
the sensation of the test garden. Wedgwood 
was selected by the majority of the visitors as 
the most beautiful glad in the garden with 
White Christmas a close second. The men’s 
vote went to Velvet Mantle, which was the 
largest spike in the garden.’’—John W. Zweifel. 

Cupid 
Late! (466) (Jack, 1945) (70 days) (Rose Delight x J. S. Bach) This 
Huntress e@ e e light orchid has won a place as an early cutter. A good per- 
former but inclined to fleck unless bloomed indoors. A sturdy sort, but not a style queen. 
Dressed for the hunt, not for the opera. 
(L 2-.25; 10-1.00) (M 10-.50) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. Pkg. .25) 
* (441) (Pacific Bulb Co., 1942) (65 days) (Picardy x Zauber- 
Invictus e ¢ ¢ flote) Though classified as a blotched light pink, this passes 
as a white with the florists. We are through cutting this rugged spike maker by the time 
most other early whites come on. Invaluable for the grower of early cut-flowers. 
(L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.50) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. Pkg. .20) 
Irak OK (580) (Mitsch, 1937) (90 days) (Sport of Bagdad) We are listing three 
: e e silvery grey glads this year: Pastel, Oklahoma, and Irak. Pastel is a 
bluish grey. Oklahoma a true grey, and Irak a warm grey. Irak is an old-timer which we 
decided to restock because of its unique color. Best when viewed in the sunlight or under 
artificial light which brings out its silvery sheen. Oddly marked with fawn in the throat. 
An excellent grower and massive spike maker. Include a few of these for color novelty 
in mixed bouquets or use in arrangements with buffs and yellows. 
(L 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. Pkg. .25) 
Jeanie *&_* * (430) (D. S. Pruitt, 1941) (85 days) Everyone loves Jeanie, the glad 
e e e with the schoolgirl complexion. A wonderfully tall grower that is 
unrivalled in its morning-fresh rich pure-pink color. A best seller again last year.
