BUTTERSCOTCH (Langworthy ’48) 517-531 (M). A lovely color but 
probably misclassified as light salmon. We call it buff with peach and 
apricot shadings, a spot of burnt orange in the throat. Or better still, 
just the color of butterscotch—it is certainly very appropriately named. 
The florets are nicely frilled and are usually fairly well placed in informal 
style on tall straight plants, up to 8 open at once. The top petal is long 
and often somewhat hooded, but attractively so, giving a winged effect to 
the floret. A lovely glad with a fine rich color. Good increase. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, Buiblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00. 
CAPTAIN KIDD (Roberts ’50) 452 (EM). See 1950 Introductions. 
CARNIVAL (Butt ’47) 437-451 (EM). Another distinctive color in glads, 
this is a brilliant scarlet red with large snow white center. The florets are 
heavily ruffled and fluted at the edges, giving a needlepoint effect. 6 or 7 
open on spikes of good height. Flowerheads are rather compact, appearing 
a little crowded. The tip buds are not weli differentiated, altho several 
buds show color above the open florets, and total bud count is 18 or more. 
A fine increaser, with bulblets making strong germination and growth. We 
like it. 
L .40, M .25, S .15, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
CHARMOLUCK (Wilson ’46) 416-482 (M). Altho usually classed as a 
buff, this has a definite smoky tinge as it grows here. Soft pastel orange 
with light smoke shadings and a distinct darker picotee edging around the 
petals. Soft creamy throat. Good flowerheads, stem a little short below 
first floret, 6-7 open. One of our favorite smokies. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, Bulblets 6—.25, 10—.35, 100—$2.50. 
CHIEF PONTIAC (G. Snyder ’48) 524 (M). Along with Daisy Mae the 
giant of the orange glads. An extremely tall husky grower with long 
stretchy flowerheads. The color is fairly good for such a large one—orange 
on the red salmon side, slightly darker throat. Fades some in hot sun as 
do most orange varieties, and perhaps hardly enough florets open at a time 
to balance its cornstalk-like spikes, 4-5 being the best it would do for 
us. However others reports up to 7 open. It bloomed in the midst of our 
100-105 degree weather when no variety was able to show its best. Appar- 
ently a very fine new variety with good show possibilities. Best Recent 
Introduction and Reserve Champion spike at the S. E. Michigan show last 
summer. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.00, Buiblets .20, 10—$1.60, 100—$12.00. 
CHINOOK (N. H. Lines 749) 532 (M). Another tall husky variety, this 
new glad boasts a very lovely and appealing color in addition to its other 
good qualities. Probably the adjective “salmon” has been overworked in 
describing many varieties of this general color, but in this case it fits. 
Just the color of the Chinook salmon which you may have seen along the 
West coast (or eaten from cans!). Others might call it an orange-pink; 
in any case it is a beautiful color and a mighty fine glad. Opens at least 
7 very large lightly frilled florets on tall rangy spikes, long stretchy heads. 
Should be able to win for longest flowerhead in the show, and did at LeRoy, 
Illinois last summer. A good propagator. This variety and La Valle are 
undoubtedly Rev. Lines’ best originations to date. 
Bulbs, any size, $3.00 each. Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00. 
CLEO (Youmans ’48) 431-441 (M). A nicely ruffled light creamy pink with a 
very prominent orange-vermillion spot in the throat. This color combina- 
tion is different and we think quite attractive; we noticed that a majority 
of garden visitors liked it also. Opens at least 8 five-inch florets, nicely 
placed and attached on fairly tall spikes. Occasionally comes short, but 
makes many perfect exhibition type spikes. A good propagator and ger- 
minator, altho bulblets do not make large size the first year. For something 
different you should try Cleo. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .75, Bulblets .20, 10—$1.50, 100—$12.00.
