Variety and Description 
MARION PEARL (Eenedict-42) 442-35 
One of the most beautiful pinks, blending to a lighter 
throat. Fine placement and a real show Glad. Rather slow 
propagator. 
MISS WISCONSIN (Krueger-43) 460-90 
A shade of rose not common in Glads but badly needed. 
6-8 open on an 18-bud spike. Tall, healthy grower and 
average increaser. 
MISTY DAWN (Rich-41) 580-95 
Soft, smoky gray or bluish salmon with a smoky orange-red 
blotch. 6-7 blooms on a tall plant. A fine show flower. 
MOHAWK (isievens-40) 454-85 
Deep glistening maroon that opens up to 10 blooms at a 
time. Outstanding. 
MONTPELIER (Hatch-47) 440-85 
Clear pink that opens 8-10 well placed 5-inch blooms on a 
tall, straight plant. It grows 5-6 feet tall with a 30-inch 
flower head and 20-24 buds. A regular and consistent 
grower. 
MOTHER KADEL (kade!-21) 410-77 
Our best commercial yellow. A steady winner of blue 
ribbons. It is a medium yellow without foreign color. It 
looks like wax deep in the throat. Good shipper. 
MT. INDEX (miller-42) 501-63 
A giant white with a yellow throat mark. Excellent color. 
Very tall and increases well. 
MYRNA FAY (cines-46) 466-85 
Rich orchid-like lavender, 9-11 open, 5 inches in diameter, 
19-21 buds, always straight and sturdy. Opens well if cut 
in tight bud. 
NANCY (aArnett-49) 452-91 
A commercial cut flower, which will open 7 blooms of 4% 
inches in diameter with 7 more showing color. It blooms 
well from small bulbs and stands heat well. It is a clean 
smooth red, shading to a more vivid tongue of red in throat. 
A heavy propagator and very healthy. 
NILA (Pruitt-47) 454-85 
A beautiful dark red with 7-9 round, well placed florets 
open on a spike of 18-20 buds. It grows very tall with 
straight, slender stems. This has been one of the most 
consistent deep reds for the past three years. 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE (Quackenbush-47) 420-85 
This is an excellent orange blending to golden yellow. It 
will hold 6 open florets on an 18-bud spike and it has excel- 
lent growing habits. This is an unusual variety in this color 
class.
