55” in height. The flower head is about 24” long 
having a total of 18 buds. The stem is wiry, 
straight and strong. The balance is good, its fac- 
ing erect. Its lasting qualities are excellent. It 
will open 6 florets. 
The color of Aloha is that of a ripe apricot. The 
throat is lighter than the floret. It opens well 
when cut in color bud. Bulblets increase and 
germination is very good.

We believe and hope that this glad will prove 
to be a fitting memorial to the great showman 
for whom it is named. 
“CLARENCE D. FORTNAM” is a glad with a 
statuesque beauty, blush pink in color. Its 5” 
florets, heavily ruffled and needlepoint, are borne 
on a 24” flowerhead with 8 of its 21 buds open 
and another 8 showing color. The champion spike 
at the 1949 Maryland show held 10 open en the 
second day. The height of the plant in the field is 
56”. It blooms in 90 days from bulbs taken direct- 
ly from cold storage. If the bulbs are sprouted at 
planting time they will doubtlessly bloom a week 
to ten days earlier. Bulblet production and germ- 
ination are excellent. Its heavy substance, tight 
attachment and ability to open when cut make it 
a promising cutflower. As an exhibition variety 
its show record speaks for itself. 
1948: Voted “most beautiful” at Eastern In- 
ternational Show. Winner of American Home 
Achievement Medal at both the Keystone State 
and Maryland shows. 
1949: Grand champion at Maryland show. Best 
“i spike in open division, and “most beautiful” at 
CLARENCE D. the Eastern International Show. ‘Most beautiful” 
FORTNAM at Lima Show, :
