PIONEER (LaSalle-Arenius ’45) 532 
Big, bold Pioneer with its giant florets of deep salmon with yellow centers and 8 
open florets, is a superb variety. It will be grown commercially, for its habits are 
desirable. 
POINCIANA (Snyder 748) 562 
It achieves the point of representing a new color note in the glad patch, a blend color 
of rose and red salmon. Its florets, triangular in type are huge. 
RED CHERRY (Roberts 746) 450 
Consistency of placement, fine spikes, nice ruffling, and the many open florets (10) 
of this fine scarlet-red, together with its early bloom season made it rank ‘‘tops’’ in 
competition with all the newcomers to my planting. A great glad for the ‘‘show 
boys’’ and the trade. Highly recommended. 
RED RASCAL (Graff ’45) 550 
The bright red ruffled florets of Red Rascal and the fine spikes that it produces 
make it a fine variety. It is a tall grower that blooms in mid-season from tall plants. 
It increases satisfactorily. 
REDWING (Wright-Graff ’48) 536 
To its past record here as a fine spiker and a fine vibrant color, Redwing added fine 
healthy bublet growth, and it repeated its production of fine spikes. Redwing is an 
excellent commercial and show glad that blooms in mid-season. It opens up to 9 
adele at one time. The fine spikes from small stock, at this writing, are simply 
superb. 
RELIANT (Krueger ’48) 500 
The giant of glad plants, with water the giant of spike and floret. Reliant is at its 
best in the adequate rainfall of September, apparently to harmonize with its late 
bloom season. This white is real stud material for the plant breeder, and a dandy 
to impress the neighbors and friends. In more southerly areas it will appear at the 
shows with credit. 
SIBONEY (Allen ’48) 
566 
A giant lavender, a bit darker in color than ‘‘the Queen’’. It makes fine i i 
long flowerheads. It is highly endorsed. spikes with 
SILVER COURT (Lens ’48) 400 
If you are looking for a blemish color in this fine white, you will have to look hard 
and long. It is white. Silver Court made a fine impression here at Reliance Gardens. 
It is an early variety of importance. 
SILVER WINGS (Ritsema-Graff ’45) 500 
Silvery cream white Silver Wings with lightly ruffled florets is capable of making 
stunning spikes. Its habits are like Picardy, the variety from which it sported, though 
it makes smaller and a greater number of bulblets. 
SPIC & SPAN (Carlson-Puerner ’46) 432 
A basket of this fine ruffled pink with its “‘gun barrel’’ spikes which carry 8 open 
florets and much bud color is as spectacular as its performance. It is a great com- 
mercial variety everywhere. Its record of important awards is a long and enviable 
one. It does well in Florida. Highly recommended. 
SPOTLIGHT (Palmer-Gove ’44) 413 
The yellow that is deservedly in heavy demand because of its sharp color contrast, 
medium yellow with a small scarlet blotch, and because of its fine habits. Spotlight 
is a tall growing variety. It is a fine commercial variety. 
SUN SPOT (Roberts ’45) 417 : 
Sun Spot won national recognition at Binghamton in ‘47. Its durability and propensity 
for holding many open florets, and its consistent performance appealed to me. Ribbon 
gathers and florists will like Sun Spot. Its bright small blotch is appealing. It blooms 
in early mid-season. 
TARAWA (Palmer-Gove ’46) 436 
Fiery scarlet with cream spears and 8 open florets in formal arrangement make Tarawa 
with its imposing spikes a very fine exhibition variety. Its bulb habits coupled with 
bloom traits make it a variety of commercial promise. 
TEXAS (Buchannan-Bork ’47) 500 
Earliness bud cut opening qualities, and other fine habits make Texas a very promising 
commercial. Its color is creamy white with a creamy center. The florets are of giant 
proportions, and good attachment. It is a tall variety. Recommended as a commercial 
and exhibition variety. 
TIVOLI (Van Konnynenberg ’46) 442 
One of the pleasant surprises of the season was Tivoli with the much needed pink 
color like that of the older Coryphee, a beautiful warm toned pure pink. Tivoli 
opens up to 8 florets at one time. It is a fine commercial. 
TRALEE (Krueger ’47) 460 
Quality will tell! Reports from cut-flower growers on Tralee have been numerous 
and laudatory. For the second time Tralee was first in variety baskets at the Wis. 
Seedling and recent introduction show (Sun Prairie °49). At Springfield, Ill. it 
was commercial 3 spike champion (N.E.G.S. Silver Medal). At the Wis. G. Soc. spon-
