LIPSTICK (Balentine ’41) 441 (M). One of the oldest varieties in our 
list but easily one of the most popular. As with the variety A. L. Stephen, 
most growers just woke up a year or two ago to the fact that here was 
a beautiful and very worthwhile but little known glad. Stock has been 
in great demand, altho more plentiful this year. Clear light to medium 
pink with a very intense red blotch. Stems are tall, flowerheads of fair 
length, all fine plant habits except that an occasional spike will crook in 
intense heat. A runaway propagator, bulblets sprouting quickly and growing 
like weeds. A most showy variety with contrasting colors that are yet 
pleasing to the most critical eye. 
L .15, M 2—.20, S 4—.20, Bulblets 35—.25, 100—.60. 
LITTLE SWEETHEART (Fischer ’48) 240 (EM). We don’t catalog many 
small flowering varieties, altho if all miniatures had the fine color and 
delicate charm of Little Sweetheart we would certainly list more of them. 
The beautifully ruffled pink and white flowers face toward the viewer, not 
upward, and are more closely spaced and evenly placed than most of the 
other pink miniatures we have grown. In other words it has all of the 
good points of the best larger varieties in a smaller package. Such grand 
little glads as this one, Atom, Twinkles, Wedgwood, and a few others are 
causing a tremendous increase in popularity of the miniatures. People are 
learning how useful the smaller ones can be in table centerpieces, small 
room bouquets, corsages, and wherever the large glads would seem out of 
place. 
M .25, S .15, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
MACUSHLA (Paul-Butt 750). See 1950 Co-Introductions. 
MAJORETTE (Kroon ’50). See 1950 Introductions. 
MANCHU (B. Palmer ’45) 513 (M). Bronzy yellow and red; an unusual 
and striking variety that is quite attractive. Very tall and straight spikes 
with 7 medium to large blooms often irregularly placed on the extra long 
stretchy flowerheads. Good propagator and a fine grower. Should be able 
to win the “longest flowerhead”’ award at the shows, as it did at the 1949 
Victoria, B.C. show. Fine from medium bulbs. 
L .15, M 2—.20, S 4—.20, Bulblets 20—.20, 100—.75. 
MARION PEARL (Benedict ’42) 532 (M). An older pink glad of fine color, 
never in large supply. A fair propagator but germination and growth of 
bulblets on the weak side. Pure pink tending slightly toward salmon, with 
small cream white throat. Opens at least 8 or 9 at once on Spikes of fair 
height. A lovely color, still a good one. 
L .25, M .15, S 2—.20, Bulblets 10—.20, 100—$1.50. 
MARY ODELL (Cave ’48) 400 (E). An early snow white with heavy sub- 
stance that enables it to stand hot weather without wilting. Tall stem, 
8 to 10 medium sized flowers open on fair heads. We like this for early 
cutting. There were some Picardy rogues in our stock of this variety bought 
in a couple of years ago; think we have them all out now but will give 
extra count on small and bulblets. 
L .75, M .50, S .35, Bulblets 3—.20, 10—.60, 100—$4.50. 
MAUVIE ROSE (Wesselman 748) 462 (VE). A fairly dark rather subdued 
shade of rose shading to mauve, slightly lighter in center. We were rather 
disappointed in this variety, altho it is supposed to be a good cut flower in 
some sections of the north central states and Canada. Wouldn’t hold more 
than 4 open and burned and faded badly in the heat here. In ordinary 
weather, particularly if planted early, it might be much better than we 
grew it. A fine propagator. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00.
