DULCIE (Loar ’50) 466 (EM). See 1950 Co-Introductions. 
DUSTY MILLER (Elliott ’45) 486 (M). Not everyone’s favorite for color, 
but a smoky that has rapidly come to the front as a show glad, and one 
of the best for performance. Plants very tall and husky, an easy grower 
with long stretchy flowerheads. The color is sort of a grayish-bronze over- 
laid dusty rose with cream and red center, not too smooth but interesting. 
The 7-8 open florets are round, very tightly attached to the stem. Has been 
in great demand, but price is down a little this year due to fast propaga- 
tion. Not many large bulbs. 
L .20, M 2—.20, S 4—.20, Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.00. 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN (D. W. White ’41) 566 (M). The beautiful 
ruffled lavender glad that has replaced old Minuet in most of the flower 
markets of the country. It likes plenty of moisture while growing, and 
even then some spikes may come short. Averages good here, about 42-46 
inches in height. Up to 9 large nicely ruffled flowers open. A fancy show 
winner as well as a fine commercial. Grand Champion at Wisconsin, Van- 
couver, and So. N. J. Shows, 1949. 
M 4—.20, S 6—.20, Bulblets 100—.25. 
ESQUIRE (Ficht-Butt ’50) 436 (M). See 1950 Co-Introductions. 
EUNICE EWING (Kaylor ’45) 370-470 (EM). An unusual shade of light 
purple with pure white center. A combination that is quite rare in glads— 
only the old varieties Gloaming and Stapleford being similar as far as we 
know, and this is a better grower than either. Makes very tall rangy spikes 
that sometimes crook. Florets not over 4 inches in our garden usually. 
Wonderful for baskets and arrangements, in which the occasional bent or 
crooked stems are often useful. Most people love this glad; about the only 
ones who dislike it are those who can’t see any but the giant varieties. 
Good propagator and bulb maker. 
L .20, M .15, S 2—.20, Bulblets 10—.20, 100—$1.50. 
EUREKA (Fairweather ’48) 500 (M). A cream-white sport of Picardy that 
may be an improvement on Leading Lady, altho quite similar. Like all of 
these white sports it sometimes reverts in part or in whole to the original 
color. Picardy habits of growth and propagation. 
L. 50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00. 
EVANGELINE (Palmer ’48) 540-560 (M). One of the giants of the glad 
world, yet a lovely variety that is bound to become one of the most popular 
of all. With color something like that of Greta Garbo, a little deeper, it is 
a much taller stronger grower with larger floret size, and nicely ruffled. 
A beautiful light pink, the 560 (rose) classification is erroneous, we think. 
A rugged, healthy grower. We had bulbs split into 3 spikes, none of which 
grew under 5% feet tall. Fast increaser. Evangeline was Grand Champion 
at the New Jersey and Ohio Seedling and R. I. shows, Reserve Champ at 
Vancouver, all 1949. Also Color Champion, N. J. 
L $2.50, M $1.50, S $1.00, Bulblets .20, 10—$1.50, 100—3$12.00. 
FABULOUS (La Salle ’46) 443 (M). An interesting blotched variety and 
a strong easy grower. Deep pink with darker throat. The color may streak 
or flake some in wet weather. Good propagator. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 6—.25, 10—-.35, 100—$2.50. 
FIREBRAND (Butt °44) 452 (ML). Long one of our favorite reds, Fire- 
brand is making a good record as a commercial and show glad in many 
places. Its 8 or more open florets are not particularly large, but are always 
well and compactly placed, and tightly attached to the stem. An ideal cut 
flower that is easy to handle and a pleasure to grow. Color is a beautiful 
and brilliant medium red of even self color. An extremely fast propagator, 
near 100% germinator, making nice bulbs. It crashed the charmed circle 
of champions again in 1949 with G. C. at the Nebraska show. 
L 2—.20, M 4—.20, S 6—.20, Bulblets 40—.25, 100—.50.
