BEST GLADS. IN '49 - FRIENDSHIP was the first variety in the field to bloom. 
This one should "go places" as a commercial. Our best red cutflower was KING 
CLICK, a variety which seems to have been overlooked by many growers. TIVOLI, 
one of the best of the light rose-pinks, will be in great demand. GRETA GARBO 
still the best pale pink end cream,- was grand-champion at two Washington shows 
in 1948, and division-champion at big Yakima show in 1949. MID-AMERICA and 
GENERAL BISENHOWER are immense,- great show glads, but probably too large to 
make good commercials. SPIC and SPAN will be grand champion contender at the 
shows for years to come,- and SUNSPOT is a mighty hard one to beat. Ihe lav- 
ender class is still. ELIZABETH THE QUEEN 1/2/3.
