BLUE DEVIL 
1951 Introduction Class 478 
BLUE DEVIL is a clear deep violet with a rose blotch on a conspicuous 
white throat — entirely different in appearance than any other glad we 
have seen. It grows to a height of 60” with a tall, strong stem that does 
not crook or fall over. The flowerhead is from 24” to 27” long with 18-21 
buds and 7 open. The 414” florets open flat, are strongly attached and 
place well. Propagation and germination are excellent and bulblets fre- 
quently bloom. A strong, healthy grower. 
BLUE DEVIL has won in the blue classes whenever shown. It made 
a clean sweep of the 478 class both days at the 1950 Connecticut Show. Its 
record includes 
1950 Connecticut Show — Award of Merit — Best Seedling 
Most Popular Variety in the show by vote of the public. Received as 
many votes as the next three varieties combined. 
1950 Eastern International Show — “A” Rating 
1950 N.E.G.S. Show — Award of Merit 
BLUE DEVIL appears to be a long step forward in the search for a 
reliable, healthy blue. 
Prices for 1950-1951 — Large $5., Medium $4., Small $3., Bulblets $1.

The color is a deep rose with a light fuchsia cast. A statuesque beauty 
that is unique in color that will rate a top place in any list of most beautiful

It is an exceptionally strong, healthy grower, in fact I believe that this 
makes the best looking bulbs of any variety that I have ever grown. Has 
a glossy green color foliage that is upright making for easy cultivation. 
Wonderful substance, refinement and lasting qualities.
