FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (Harris ’47) 500 (EM). A very fine white 
slightly on the creamy side. Throat shades to deep cream or light yellow. 
Florets are lightly frilled, about 7 open at once on tall spikes. An especially 
fine commercial white that also can win at the shows. Habits of flower 
production, growth, and increase are all that could be desired. 
L .75, M .50, S .30, Bulblets 3—.20, 10—.60, 100—$4.50. 
FLYING FORTRESS (Wilson ’43) 586 (M). Huge lavender gray with a 
small but distinct scarlet feather. Not always consistent in floret placement 
and facing or length of stem, but capable of making marvelous formal 
spikes with up to twelve 7-inch florets open at a time. One of the best 
sellers in our list among the lower priced varieties. A perfect spike of 
Flying Fortress is something you will long remember, altho you may have 
to grow several bulbs to get one good one. 
L .20, M .15, S 2—.20, Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.00. 
FOLKLORE (Butt ’49) 463-467 (EM). One of the most beautiful new 
varieties and probably one of the top 1949 introductions. A color that has 
been long needed in glads—a pure clear medium to deep orchid-rose with 
the large center a very light cream, nearly white. Form of spike and 
flower something like Betty’s Choice but a deeper, more vibrant color. It 
also opens more flowers at once—at least 7 or 8. Not a real tall grower, 
but fairly good height. Florets are lightly frilled and are about 4% inches 
in diameter. Apparently a good propagator. We predict a fine future for 
this beautiful new glad. A florist’s delight. Won silver medal award 1948 
and gold medal award 1949 at C.G.C, test gardens. 
L $1.50, Bulblets 2—.30, 12—$1.50 (sold only with bulb purchase). 
FRIENDSHIP (C. Fischer ’49) 442 (E). An exquisite early pink, nicely 
ruffled. About 6 well placed altho sometimes slightly upward facing florets 
open on fairly tall spikes, around 42-44 inches. Florets not large but big 
enough for any commercial use, and the fine color and early blooming 
season make Friendship an important variety. Very pretty. Makes plenty 
of easy germinating bulblets. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00. 
FUCHSIA BELLE (Almey ’45) 462 (M). Clear deep cerise-rose without 
markings. A beautiful color, with 6 or more nicely rounded florets open on 
tall stems that sometimes tend to bend or fall over, occasionally crook 
slightly. We feel that its fine color fully offsets its admitted faults. Fair 
propagator, germination a little slow. 
L .40, M .25, S .15, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
GARDEN GOLD (Rich 748) 512 (M). While we haven't seen all of the 
highly touted new yellows, we think a lot of this one which we have grown 
for two years. Not a deep golden yellow as the name might indicate, but 
a very pure medium shade that is very beautiful. A little deeper than 
August Moon by the same originator. The 5% inch flowers are large for 
a yellow, and are of attractive form with slight frilling. 6 or more open on 
good spikes. A fair propagator. 
L $4.00, M $3.00, S $2.00, Bulblets .40, 10—$3.00. 
GLORIOUS (Wilson ’49) 332 (M). We list this for those who may be 
interested in “number open’, either for the shows or for breeding. It does 
open quite a lot at once, 10 or more. Not an attractive color, however— 
a lack-lustre deep salmon with mixed up throat. 
M $2.50, S $1.00, Bulblets .20, 10—$1.50.
