ANDRENA (Armstrong-Butt) 
Pale phlox pink with a large pale yellow throat. A beautiful blend of 
pastel tones, something different in color that is a florist’s dream. Making 
tall, regular spikes, it opens 6 or 7 well placed blooms of 416-5 inch size on 
20-22 inch flowerheads. Opens well in water, holding size and color very 
nicely. This won the Silver Medal Award of the G.G.C. in 1949 with the 
second highest average score of over 100 seedlings tested. This should be 
a muSt on your list. Bulbs, any size, $3.00 each. No bulblets except in 
wholesale units, prices of which will be given to growers on request. 
MACUSHLA (Paul-Butt) 
One of the finest colored glads offered in many years; just what the 
florists are looking for. Bengal rose with light cream throat, diffused deeper 
lines adding to its attractiveness. Makes healthy, tall, straight spikes with 
six or seven 4% to 5 inch florets open at once. Attachment firm, placement 
usually good. An excellent shipping variety, opening well in water. Bulbs, 
any size, $3.00 each. Wholesale units of bulbs and bulblets available.

inches, with six 5-inch ruffled florets open on 23-25 inch flowerheads of 
18-20 buds. Good placement and attachment. Good propagator and germin- 
ator. Lavender Beauty is all that its name implies, and even more. It 
looks like the lavender we have been waiting for. A bright new glad in a 
much wanted color; healthy and vigorous. This variety made the highest 
average score in the 1949 G.G.C. Trial Garden in winning the Silver Medal 
award, thus making it undoubtedly one of the outstanding novelties of 
the year. Be sure to get in on this one. Bulbs, any size, $3.00 each. Whole- 
sale units of bulbs and bulblets available to growers; write for prices.

florets are open on 20-22 bud flowerheads. A splendid bulb maker, and 
grows well from all sizes including bulblets. A good stock enables this 
to be offered at a low price. Approval award G.G.C. trial grounds, 1948. 
Midseason. Bulbs, any size, $1.00 each, or 12 for $10.00. Bulblets available

(From Gladland Acres) 
We have not grown the following new variety, but it comes with fine 
recommendations, and has such a good trial garden record that we are 
certain it is worthy of your consideration. 
PHARAOH (Higgins-Gladland) 
A glowing pink salmon with cream yellow throat and yellow midribs. 
It has straight stems, stretchy spike, perfection of placement, and fine 
attachment. Has won many awards as a seedling, scoring from 81.1 to 87 
(any variety with a rating of 80 or better is considered outstandingly good). 
Average performance from established trial gardens is as follows: Field 
height, 63 inches; floret size 5°4 inches; number of buds 19; number open 7. 
Late midseason. A very good propagator, and a variety that would seem to 
have every good point in its favor. A good stock permits a low introductory 
price, which for 1950 will be $1.00 each for bulbs of any size, bulblets 10 
cents each. HOWEVER WE CANNOT ACCEPT AN ORDER FOR LESS 
THAN $3.00 FOR BULBS OR BULBLETS OR PHARAOH. You may order 
3 bulbs for $3.00; large, medium, small, or assorted, or double the quantity 
—6 for only $5.00. Bulblets if you prefer them, but only in lots of 30 or 
more at 10c each.
