RED ORANGE—24 
CHIEF PONTIAC is massive and sturdy and an excellent grower. CRACKERJACK makes fine 
spikes and should qualify as a commercial. 
LIGHT SALMON—30 
Gorgeous has been changed to GORGEOUS DEB but there has been no change in the beauty 
of this Glad. It is very heavily ruffled. The soft salmon-buff of BUTTERSCOTCH is enhanced by 
the harmonizing blotch of deeper rose-salmon. LADY WAYNE is a rapid increaser and a good 
grower. The pastel color of APRIL is very delicate. Florets are not always well placed. 
DEEP SALMON—32 
After growing GENGHIS KHAN three years I have found no real faults with it. It is an excellent 
commercial. Of the newer commercial varieties, SPIC & SPAN is number one on the lists of 
most cutflower growers. It will be grown by the millions. DIEPPE is dazzling in color and is 
a select variety. PIONEER is a rugged grower. For those who like blotched varieties BOLD- 
FACE will catch the eye. It stands out in the garden. JINNI MARIE did not quite come up to 
expectations. Another year’s growing may give us the fine spikes I have seen elsewhere. 
SCARLET—36 
RED WING gave us beautiful spikes and deserves all the recognition it has received. CHEY- 
ENNE and FIRE GLEAM are very appealing. Each has good color value and were impressive 
here the first year. HIAWATHA didn't take our heat too well. It can make a beautiful formal 
spike. MOUNTAIN GEM is a pure rich shade of scarlet and is an excellent grower from 
young bulbs. If you like big massive Glads you'll want to try REGAL RED. It is an easy 
grower and cutter. 
LIGHT PINK—40 
Modern-day Glads have raised the standard of pink varieties to a high level. Each year the 
call is for more and more pink. SKYWAY blooms early and is a nice cutter. If you are looking 
for something of rare beauty and sheen, try SEASHELL. For wide-open fluted florets you'll 
want YANKEE CLIPPER. For beauty and excellent growing habits, HEART'S DESIRE rates 
high in anyone's list. MISS VERMONT has beautiful tints of pink and lavender. A strong 
sturdy grower is TREASURE ISLAND. BEAUTY'S BLUSH presents a picture of health and 
vigor. A well grown spike of CONNECTICUT YANKEE is always a contender for ‘Grand 
Champion”. DEBORAH SAMPSON is very consistent and a good shipper. Better growth 
from bulblets would be desired. JUNE DAY has drawn the attention of cut-flower growers— 
it blooms extremely early and has a nice vibrant color. LIPSTICK is wanted by everyone. It is 
a ribbon of color with all its buds showing a dainty pink. One of the prettiest is MY DEAR. It 
has excellent growing qualities with practically all the bulblets blooming. PHANTOM BEAUTY 
consistently gives us long heavy spikes. It is a wonderful commercial and show flower and 
I have never seen a misplaced floret or a crooked spike. YANKEE LASS with its tall stretchy 
spikes will win its share of awards. BRIDESMAID didn’t like our hot weather. Blooms 
cut in September were fine. 
DEEP PINK—42 
CITATION rivals Evangeline for tall growth. One for the fans is COVER GIRL. It is a giant 
in spike formation. SUMMER GAL still rates as one of the most beautiful for clear color but 
short spikes are common. FABULOUS is striking but it doesn’t hold its color in adverse 
weather conditions. Exceptionally fine spikes of HIHO were cut this year. FRIENDSHIP 
has purity of color and excellent growing habits. One of the most unusual Glads is BOISE 
BELLE, and also one of the prettiest. It makes a beautiful ribbon of bloom with 10 or 12 open 
and most of the remaining buds in color. SPELLBOUND is a nice clear color but isn’t con- 
sistent for us. 
LIGHT RED—50 
ROYAL WINDSOR is an excellent commercial and a soft beautiful color. If you are looking for 
something real early in red, by all means try RED CHERRY. It is also a rapid increaser. For 
giant spikes, MID AMERICA takes the honors. STOPLIGHT is too well known for comment but 
its performance this year deserves mention. It stayed green and healthy right up to digging 
time and gave us fine spikes even from small bulbs. 
DEEP RED—52 
CRIMSON TIDE is different from any other red, having a white blotch and leathery texture. 
NANCY is a top commercial and will be grown by the millions. For all around performance,
