INTRODUCTIONS OF J. R. & C. T. LARUS 
BLUE DEVIL 
Description of Blue Devil and Leah Gorham are from the Introducers. Leah 
Gorham was purchased by them from Leah Gorham of Utah, and is the only seedling 
purchased by them for Introduction. Don’t let the low price fool you as I am sure it is 
a real outstanding Glad. 
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 to 21 buds and 7 open. The 4% inch florets open flat, are strongly 
attached and well placed. 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.

LEAH GORHAM (American Commander X Liberator) 
Under seedling number 41852 this variety was approved by the N.A.G.C. Trail 
Garden after a two year test. The 434” florets, which are light red with a clean white 
throat, are striking and very attractive. They are strongly attached to a 26 to 28 inch 
flowerhead. Of the 18-22 bubs, 5 to 7 open in excellent placement. The florets are lightly 
ruffled and of medium heavy substance. The color is bright and clear with no flecking. 
Spikes are strong and no crooking has been reported. 
Propagation is good and bulblets grow well. Spikes from medium bulbs were al- 
most the same as from large. The variety is healthy and an easy grower.
