Georgia: “The florists 
here say White Christmas 
is the prettiest glad that 
has ever been seen in 
Athens. They had it in a 
test plot and when the tem- 
perature got above a hun- 
dred it stood up while 
others drooped: ==" Raw

Minnesota: ‘‘Your Wedg- 
wood has got what it takes. 
Friendship is a top notcher. 
Life is interesting when one 
has glads like these to look 
forward to.” — Edward 
Buck. 

Nebraska: ‘Friendship is 
best of the earlies. I have 
a spike before me now. 
Five-inch flower, 25-inch 
flowerhead, 48-inch spike, 
20 buds, and wonderful col- 
or. Promote this, fellows. 
It is going places.’’—W. G. 
Heaton. 
Florida: “Accept my 
gratitude for Gratitude. It’s 
a wonderful glad.’’—Sun- 
shine Gardens. 

Michigan: ‘I think that 
your White Christmas and 
Mr. Harris’ Florence Night- 
ingale are the two TOP 
white glads at the present 
time. I can assure you that 
no two glads gave me a 
bigger thrill (and we have 
grown over 500 varieties in 
the past Six years)- ==

Three Spikes of FRIENDSHIP Make 
an Inspiring Bouquet 
xk ok (441) (Roberts, 1946) (65 days) (Sonatine x Schwaben Girl) 
June Day e e e A glad for the early cut-flower market. A fine tall cutter. 
Fashioned after that famous pink, Rosa van Lima, though not quite as distinctive. It has 
herry spearhead in the throat.

K ] kk & «(530) (Yates, 1946) (Picardy sport) One of the loveliest of the 
© sey ee Picardy sports. A light salmon blending to a creamy throat and 
midribs. Lighter than Picardy; deeper than Lady Luck. This suave, courtly pastel is sure 
to ingratiate itself with the discriminating. Retains the smooth suede texture of its parent.

= * *& * *& (532) (Hobbs, 1945) (80 days) (Amrita x D. A. Hay) 
King Alfred ee @ 5 nee flower that combines beauty, size, and vigor. 
Opens six or more wide-open, ruffled, rich-salmon florets on substantial stems. Has a 
small, sharp cream blotch. We believe King Alfred has a bright future as a commercial. 
This had much better floret attachment with us last year than the year previous. A beau- 
tiful glad that we are happy to recommend.

King Lear ° ¢ ¢ first of the great purples. A giant red-purple of heavy sub- 
stance and glossy texture. Ruffled and needlepointed. Has a silver picotee edge. Strik- 
ingly beautiful in the garden or in baskets.
