CLOTH OF GOLD (Briggs 49) 420 (EM). A beautiful color that is even 
more eye-catching than Orange Gold; shines like a new penny! No hint 
of red in this one, it is a real yellow-orange with great depth and brilliance 
of color. It probably has the same fault as some others in this class in that 
flowerheads are not as long as might be desired. Florets are medium-large, 
around 4% inches, nicely rounded and very graceful in appearance. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00. 
COLOGNE (Roberts *48) 342 (EM). Probably the most fragrant glad in 
commerce today with the exception of Dr. McLean’s new hybrids which he 
developed from some of the fragrant species. Cologne is a very easy grower, 
having been developed from the regular garden glads rather than thru the 
spring-blooming species approach of McLean. In addition to its definite 
tea-rose fragrance, Cologne is a nice decorative type—very useful and 
pretty for vases and home decoration. Deep pink or light scarlet with 
creamy throat, 6 or more 4-inch florets open on tall willowy spikes. Frag- 
rance is Strongest in the morning on newly opened florets. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.75, 100—$6.00. 
COLOR MARVEL (Krueger ’46) 316 (E). A nice early blooming bronzy 
yellow or buff yellow. No other variety with just this color in the earlies 
except the older variety Bernece, and this is a better taller grower. We 
like this to add variety to the usual pinks, lavenders, whites and clear 
yellows we grow for early cut flowers. Good increase. 
M 2—.20, S 4—.20, Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.00. 
COMPLEXION (Bastian ’49) 440 (M). This new light pink pleased us very 
much last summer as grown from several medium and large bulbs in our 
trial planting. Some visitors remarked that it seemed to be a lighter pink 
Spic & Span, as it has the same general floret form, ruffling, and size. 
Altho it apparently opens about 6 or 7 as compared to 8 or more with 
Spic & Span. Nice tall spikes, well arranged. A light shade of pink, but 
several shades deeper than the same originator’s Phantom Beauty. Florets 
are also more ruffled, and while placement is quite formal there is no 
crowding of flowers on the spike. Looks like another fine pink. Good propa- 
gator, and makes nice bulbs. 
M $3.00, S $1.50, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00. 
CONNECTICUT YANKEE (Schenetsky ’44) 441 (M). The well Known 
light pink with scarlet throat that has been seen on the Court of Honor at 
leading glad shows for many years. Added to its already fine show record 
were many 1949 winnings, including Grand Champion at both Pennsylvania 
(early and late) shows, and Midland, Mich., 2nd Day Champ at the New 
Jersey show and Chagrin Falls, Ohio, etc. Only a fair propagator, and 
makes some short spikes, but a real good one is an almost sure winner. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 6—.25, 10—.35, 100—$2.50. 
CONNIE G. (Woods ’48) 506 (EM). This variety has perhaps the most 
beautiful florets of all; exquisitely ruffled and of leathery texture. Color a 
clear light cream with much yellow in the throat. The chaste purity of 
the flower is enhanced by its cream colored stamens, which, by the way, 
produce no pollen—much to the disappointment of hybridists. We haven’t 
been able to get much seed from it either. About 7 of these lovely, butterfly- 
like flowers are open on spikes that average pretty good length, altho 
somewhat variable. Not a good bulblet producer, and stock is still com- 
paratively scarce. Among its 1949 wins, Connie G was declared color 
champion at the Ohio R. I. & Seedling Show, and best recent introduction, 
Vietoria: 5. G: 
L $4.00, M $3.00, S $2.00, Bulblets .50, 10—$4.00. 
SOOO? 
“There are some of the cleanest bulbs I have ever received. I will plug 
for your bulbs up here, and wouldn’t be surprised if you shouldn’t get 
from 15 to 25 orders next spring from this town.”
