GLOW (Howell ’46) 420 (E). A good early cut flower orange. Slightly 
deeper in color than October Sunshine, and comes on earlier, The first 
orange or salmon colored glad to bloom for us, and a good one to go witn 
other earlies such as June Day, Tralee, Texas, Wedgwood, Red Cherry, etc. 
Fine propagator. 
L .50, M .30, S .20, Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00. 
GOLDEN ARROW (Pruitt ’47) 410-510 (M). A good clear yellow that 
we have used extensively for cutting. Along with Golden State about as 
useful a florists’ yellow as we have found, altho this is not a very tall 
grower. Old bulbs split quite badly, making shorter spikes. Fine color—a 
yellow that is really yellow. Fast increaser. 
L .25, M .15, S 3—.20, Bulblets 10—.20, 100—$1.50. 
GOLDEN BEAUTY (Coates ’47) 512 (EM). Another variety that has good 
color, but in hot weather the substance seems light and the florets get 
rather floppy. It also crooks quite badly at times. We have seen some 
beautiful spikes of this one, but it doesn’t seem reliable enough to rank 
with the best of the newer yellows. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
GOLDEN STATE (Wheeler ’42) 512 (ML). Still one of the best yellows 
as it grows here. Large florets, tall stems and flowerheads, and good 
growing habits make it a reliable cut flower variety. Plenty of increase, 
altho bulblets germinate only fair. A good yellow that is still the leading 
prize winner in its class at the shows. 
L .20, M .15, S 2—.20, Bulblets 15—.25, 100—$1.25. 
GOLD MEDAL (Beardmore °48) 516 (M). A slightly subdued shade of 
yellow, fairly deep but with buff and apricot shadings—very attractive. 
6 or 7 very large prettily ruffled florets open on tall stems, medium flower- 
heads. This really stands out in the garden; is usually immediately spotted 
and greatly admired by visitors to our plantings. A fine flower for the 
fancier and exhibitor. Occasional off facing or slightly loose attachment 
will limit its commercial use, altho we have found it a good variety for 
local cut flower sales. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00. 
GORGEOUS DEB (Wilson ’49) 530 (M). Exceedingly well named, this is 
truly a gorgeous flower. For heavily ruffled florets it outdoes anything we 
have ever seen in this color, except for a seedling of ours that is still on 
test. The petals of Gorgeous Deb actually seem to be pleated or corrugated, 
producing a stunning effect when its 8 or more flowers are fully open. 
Apparently a good grower and propagator. A very much improved Victory 
Queen. 
M $2.50, S $1.50, Bulblets .20, 2—.35. 
GRENADIER (Palmer ’44) 416 (M). One of Palmer’s varieties that has 
never been as popular as some, but we think it is a good one. A nice shade 
of light orange buff, quite a clear color. Florets are large, nicely rounded, 
with 7 or more open at once on good spikes. Flowerheads could perhaps 
stretch a little more. 
M 4—.25, S 6—.25, Bulblets 25—.25. 
HARMONY (Australia) 460 (E). A nice early blooming rosy pink with 
white throat. Seems to be practically unknown in this country; we received 
it in a trial shipment of “down under” varieties, mostly newer ones. With 
us this older variety seemed better than a good many of the highly publi- 
cized recent Australians and New Zealanders. Worth a trial. Stock limited. 
M .25, S .15, Bulblets 10—.25.
