x x _* (366) (Baerman, 1943) (65 days) (Queen of 
Lavender and Gold e e¢ e¢ Bremen X (Sweetheart x Rosemarie Pfit- 
zer)) This fresh clean light-lavender touched with a large creamy yellow throat is loved 
by our florists for its adaptability in make-up work. One of the most graceful of all glads; 
a rival of Starlet. A happy combination with roses. Ideal for table bouquets. A first- 
early for the cut-flower grower. We never have enough of this delicate beauty to supply 
the demand. Pictured on page 36. (L, 3-.25; 10-.70) (M 10-.40) (S 10-.25) (Blbts. Pkg. 20) 
Lavender Lace **—*~* (460) (Fischer, 1950) (80 days) (Poet's Dream x 
Elizabeth the Queen) Exquisite light lavender, 
copiously composed on graceful willowy stems. For a full description, see New Introduc- 
tions, page 2. 
Lavender Prince a (466) (La Salle, 1946) (90 days) (King 
° e Arthur seedling) Lavender Prince is an in- 
termediate tone between lavender and purple. Quite a valuable color. We cut quantities 
of this robust grower for the florists this year. An outstanding commercial.

Leading Lady it ales te cardy) Truly an all-star variety in both beauty 
and performance. Builds magnificent spikes with up to eleven open florets. Perhaps the 
greatest show winner of all time. Its creamy-white color will pass for white with the 
florists. An outstanding commercial. Pictured on page 32.

Little Sweetheart ae At (240) (Fischer, 1948) (80 days) (Sweetheart

The small rose-like florets, charmingly poised on thin, wiry stems, are simply exquisite. 
The ethereal pure pink color blends to a large immaculate white throat. Frilly ruffles and 
waxy texture complete a truly ethereal ensemble. Unsurpassed for table decorations and 
wedding bouquets. A best seller last year.

Magnolia e e e Another fine light pink from probably the most successful glad 
cross ever made. Magnolia will open six or seven softly recurved florets of a warm soft 
pink color on tall vigorous spikes. A fine cut-flower.

Manchu * * * (513) (Beatrice Palmer, 1945) (80 days) (Pfitzer’s Triumph x 
e e e Golden Dream) X (Picardy x Commander Koehl)) A cross be- 
tween four great glads! One of the best newcomers to our 1950 list. It was indeed a 
pleasure to see those towering spikes stand so soldier-like in the field. Such model bunch- 
es, as they were cut for the florists! A premier basket variety. A 400 sized glad with us. 
Manchu is a brilliant yellow flushed pink with a burst of vivid red in the throat that pro- 
duces a truly Oriental effect. Placement is not always perfect, but I consider this a minor 
defect, since this may add to the grace and airiness of an arrangement. An ace performer.
