HAVANA (Roberts °46) 391 (E). . A unique little glad that should be well 
liked by those who favor the smaller flowered varieties. Doesn’t open as 
many florets at once as Vagabond Prince, one of its parents, but the color 
is brighter. A real bronze shade with a brilliant red-orange throat. 5 or 6 
four-inch florets open on spikes of medium height. Good propagator, ger- 
mination slow. 
L .50, M .30, S .20, Bulblets 10—.30, 100—$2.40. 
HEARTS DESIRE (Fiedler ’48) 540 (EM). A very beautiful ruffled light 
pink that should be in every garden. Easy for us to enthuse about this 
one—we are really in love with it. Just the shade of pink that everyone 
falls for, and its lovely ruffling makes it doubly attractive. We are dropping 
several older varieties, some not so old, in favor of Hearts Desire. We still 
like Greta Garbo, Gavotte, High Command, etc., but out they go! Hearts 
Desire is a fine tall grower, making grand large spikes with up to 8 open 
at once. The florets are lacy and delicate appearing, but actually are of 
fine substance with good keeping qualities. A heavy propagator, good 
germinator, making nice bulbs. 
L $1.25, M $1.00, S .75, Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.20, 100—$9.50. 
HIGH LIFE (K & M ’46) 376 (EM). Nota large blue but one with better 
color than some. Not as good a grower a Blue Boy, however, for us. About 
6 open on quite tall limber spikes. Good increase. 
L .15, M 2—.20, S 4—.20, Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.00. 
HI HO (Knight ’48) 432-442 (E). A very nice deep pink with white throat 
that seems to be quite an early bloomer. In fact it was one of the first to 
bloom in our planting of newer introductions. Opens up to 7 or 8 large 
(5-inch) flowers on fairly tall spikes. A very promising new glad for any 
purpose. Good propagator. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .50, Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.20, 100—$9.50. 
HILLCREST (Brown, N. Z., 748) 563 (M). A unique novelty, rosy pink 
to deep rose at edges with slate flaking over the whole flower. Very unusual, 
and attracts much attention. Fair propagator, bulblets sprout slowly and 
unevenly here. 
M .25, S .15. 
JUNE DAY (Roberts ’46) 441 (VE). The earliest good pink glad, and 
always among the first of any color to bloom. A lovely shade of clear 
pure pink, small cherry red throat markings. Opens 6 or 7 florets of 4% 
inch size on tall, willowy, 20-bud spikes that are always straight. Old 
bulbs often split, best spikes come from young bulbs. But no trouble to 
get plenty of No. 1 and jumbo young bulbs from the extremely large 
bulblets of this variety which are produced in large quantities. June Day 
is an essential for the grower who wants to hit the earliest market while 
cut flower prices are still high. 
L .75, M .50, S .30, Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00. 
KATHY LEE (Fairchild ’47) 410 (EM). Light lemon yellow with beauti- 
fully ruffled florets. A good grower with tall stems, altho flowerheads are 
sometimes short. Florists like this one, as in many bouquets and floral 
pieces long flowerheads are of no advantage. The florets are among the 
prettiest of all the yellows. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.25, 100—$10.00. 
KAWATIRI (Pupich, N.Z. ’47) 516 (EM). A very tall large ruffled apricot, 
shading to light yellow in the throat. A wonderfully fine variety in every 
respect except that it often crooks in very hot weather. Ordinarily ours 
have been straight, but last summer’s extreme heat produced practically 
nothing but crooks. When right it is capable of beating almost anything in 
its class. Opens 9-10. 
L .80, M .60, S .40, Bulblets 3—.25, 10—.65, 100—$5.00.
