CHOCTAW 
TREASURY GOLD X Mrs. RICHARD McGovERN 
(About 90 days)...Big rich light chocolate with R.O. 
blotch, no markings. On textile color chart it is burnt 
orange and henna with pimento blotch. Greek to most 
of us but a very outstanding and beautiful color anyway 
and so different from all others, coupled with its fine 
formal type it is a tough one to beat in the A.O.C. class. 
We always get it planted too late to catch most shows, 
tho with eight starts so far it has not been beaten for 
the blue ribbon from our showing. Ohio State first. 
Chagrin Falls first. East Liverpool first and sec, champ, 
1947. Ohio State first. East Liverpool first both one and 
three spike and sec, champ, 1948. East Liverpool first 
1949, 
Very vigorous growth of both spike and foliage, foliage 
making 12-13 big broad, deep green crinkly leaves. Ex- 
cellent propagator. Performance for us is all one could 
ask for. 10 open, 22-24 buds, very strong stem and at- 
tachment, 28 in. head, 60 in. overall. Showing in the 
mammoth 590 class. For something different in color 
and thrilling performance, grow Choctaw the eye catcher 
everywhere. Large each $1.70 or 10 for $13.00; Medium 
$1.30 or 10 for $10.40; Small .90 or 10 for $7.20; Blts. .15

SOUTH SEAS 
GRAY PHANTOM X VAGABOND PRINCE 
(About 90 days)...Attractive big husky growing blue 
slate gray with deep orange and yellow blotch, Quite a 
different color in glads. | Good string of blue ribbons in 
the past four years. Ohio State 1946. East Liverpool 
1947. Penna. State, W. Va. and Ohio State 1948. Missed 
all shows in 1949, Just our own wianings and we hope to 
see it in more shows next summer. One of the finer 
smokies. 6 in. floret, 8 open, 20 buds, 28 inch head, 65 
in. overall. Strong attachment and stems averaging high 
for straight. Very healthy bulb and foliage. No. 3, $1.70; 
No.5, $1.00:Blts, .20 or 10 for $1.60. A 1947 introduction, 
Play Santa Claus to yourself this year with TER- 
RIFIC. If we were to sell every bulb we have of it at 
$5.00 each, it wouldn't pay its expense account to date. 
It has scored a heavier overhead than any variety we 
have ever introduced but is well worth it. 
If you do not already have Glorious, Gorgeous Deb, 
Glamorous and Wahoo, you're just in the wrong league 
‘sall.
