GENERAL LIST 
ABIGAIL (366) Myers ‘44 (75) 
An early blooming lavender that grows strong and 
tall and is similar to the color of Minuet. It opens 
up to 8 florets of double row placement and makes 
a goodly number of bulblets that germinate well. 
It is a consistent grower and an easy cutter. 
ALGONQUIN (536) Palmer ‘39 (80) 
A brilliant and showy scarlet that opens up to 10 
ruffled triangular florets on a long flowerhead. It 
is a fine commercial as well as exhibition variety 
and is dependable in every way. 
ANNAMAE (400) Pommert ‘40 (70) 
Annamae is hard to beat for a qood early white 
cut-flower. It opens up to 8 florets of regular place- 
ment on a straight stem. Its jumbo bulblets make 
many large bulbs the first year. 
APRIL (430) Evans ‘47 (80) 
A very tall growing light pastel peach. It opens 
up to 6 florets on a thin wiry stem. Produces lots 
of bulblets that germinate easily. We have grown 
this previous to this year but did not list it because 
of poor performance. This season's blooms were 
much improved. It gave us some beautiful spikes. 
ASTRID (560) Jack ‘46 (77) 
Robust growing medium rose with a narrow cream 
throat line. It opens up to 8 ruffled florets, blooms 
well from small sized bulbs, and produces an aver- 
age number of bulblets that make good growth. A 
nice shade of rose pink that makes a good cut-flower. 
BEAUTY’S BLUSH (440) Fischer “47 (85) 
A vigorous growing soft blushing pink. It opens up 
to 7 re-curved florets on a long flowerhead. Tall 
and husky growing, it was a stand-out in our field 
this past summer. Its bulblets are produced in 
quantity and they make fine growth the first year. 
Beauty's Blush is an A-l commercial. 
BETTY DUNCAN (422) Benidict ‘49 
One of the top orange glads in our garden this year. 
Several commercial growers upon seeing it in the 
field pronounced it the best orange yet. Its color 
is a beautiful glowing orange blending into a clear 
golden throat. It opens up to 7 nicely arranged florets 
on a tall well proportioned flowerhead. Bulblet 
production and germination is good. Highly recom- 
mended.
