A giant size yellow with buff tones. Opens up to 6

lightly ruffled florets that are occasionally mis- 
and exhibitors. It gave us beautiful spikes. 
GORGEOUS DEB (530) Wilson ‘49 (85) 
Formerly named Gorgeous. Gorgeous Deb ranks 
near the top of the list in beauty and heavy ruffling. 
Its very heavily ruffled florets are light salmon with 
a yellow blotch. It makes massive spikes—up to 
9 open, size 6 to 6¥2 inches, flowerheads up to 34 
inches. Strong attachment considering the size of 
the flower. Good bulblet producer and bulblets 
make fine growth. Mr. Wilson says Gorgeous Deb 
is the most beautiful glad he has ever introduced 
and he has given us some mighty fine ones. This 
should: be a heavy winner, 
HEART’S DESIRE (540) Fiedler ‘48 (80) 
Again this year Heart's Desire proved to be one of 
the top notchers. A light pink, shading into white 
with a pastel yellow throat. Up to 8 heavily ruffled 
wide-open florets that are waxy in substance. It 
is a fast propagator and bulblets make strong 
growth. A fine crop-of bulbs is harvested the first 
year. It is hard ‘to beat on: the show table and is 
regular in performance. Highly recommended.

are produced in goodly numbers and it makes 
beautiful bulbs from bulblets. Wins regularly at 
the shows.

orous grower.
