GORGEOUS DEB 
VICTORY QUEEN X FrRANcES M. IRWIN 
(About 90 days)...Wish we had a check up on how many 
fanciers we have heard remark that Gorgeous Deb was 
the most beautiful large glad with heavy ruffles they have 
ever seen. Very strong attachment and very heavy sub- 
stance, wide open not hooded. High percentage of straight 
stems. An occasional off placed floret. Light salmon with 
no flecking and yellow blotch with no markings. The 
heavy ruffling and fluting is exquisite. We have had 7 
inch florets and 34 inch flowerheads, 9 open, 6 in color, 
65 inches overall. 
At East Liverpool in 1948 with sdlgs. and named vari- 
eties classed together, we made a three spike entry of 
Gorgeous Deb under number, winning first open, sec- 
tional champion, three spike show champ, champion 
sdlg. and show champion. In 1949 at Penna, show first 
and sec. champ. East Liverpool first open in large class. 
Willing to bet our shirt that Gorgeous Deb will be a large 
collector of blue ribbons in the next few years as large 
bulbs start working. Should win color champ at many 
shows. 
Excellent producer of large blts. that make excellent 
growth, 
Beauty at its best GORGEOUS DEB, with this year’s 
price cut in half and we have a good stock. Prices same 
as for Glorious. We can make per 10 rate to meet others 
GLAMOROUS 
VICTORY QUEEN X BEAUTY CLINIC 
(About 90 days)...Big clean colored golden orange with 
clean yellow blotch. No flecking or markings. Very 
heavy substance, well ruffled, very strong attachment, 
over 514 inches, 9-10 open, 21 buds, 28 in, head, 60 in. 
overall. Straight strong stem needing no support in hot 
weather. Floret wide open, not hooded. Excellent formal 
type and good reproducer. 
Glamorous has refused to bloom for show dates up until 
1949 when it came thru to show its ability. © With only 
one spike in bloom for the W. Va. show it won first openand 
color champion. The following week end we took five 
spikes to the Tri-State show, entering in 1 spike and 3 
spike open and R.I. All three entries won sectional champs, 
the 3 spike was division champ, one of which was runner 
up for show and color champion. Also first open at 
Penna. Five championship rosettes at one show is not 
bad. 
For a glad with the beauty, health and performance 
of Glamorous it is not surprising that we picked up many 
reservations for stock at the 1949 shows. Each Medium 
53.00; No. 6, $1.50; Blts, each .30
