ROBERT ALAN (Lorenz 49) 
None More Beautiful! None More Dependable! 
A wonderful brilliant, waxy, golden yellow, with no markings. The color is 
always pure and clean. It grows 55 to 60 inches tall and has 20 to 22 buds with 8 open. 
The large 5% inch florets are well placed on a long flowerhead. The plant has a rich 
glossy foliage with broad leaf. We consider ROBERT ALAN the finest clear yellow. 
Compared with any present yellow, ROBERT ALAN will prove first in quality, beauty 
and performance. At its first showing in 1946 as a seedling, offers of $100.00 per bulblet 
were refused by the originator. A good producer of bulblets that grow unusually well, 
making fair sized bulbs. As far as I know, this is the only glad receiving a 100% AA 
rating (Very superior) to date. Awards to numerous to mention.

GRACE DARLING (Harris 1949) 
So richly beautiful is the blending of soft rosy pink and white, that one is at once 
reminded of apple blossoms. The originator had at first planned giving the name of 
Apple Blossom to this beautiful glad, but was prevented from so doing as another glad 
bears that name. A tall grower, making up to 60 inches tall, opening 8 five inch florets 
on a 26 inch flowerhead, with 5 showing color. The florets are well attached with ex- 
cellent texture. GRACE DARLING, being another Harris origination, bears the stamp 
of Quality.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (Harris 47) 
(Birchville Gardens is the headquarters for Florence Nightingale in the U. 8S.) 
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE is a marvelous glistening white, which is heavily 
petaled and ruffled. It is beautiful beyond description, for it has everything to be de- 
sired to make it so. It absolutely does not fleck. It grows 68 inches tall, with a 28 inch 
flowerhead. It opens 6 to 8 well-placed florets on a 21 bud spike. It has received top 
rating from trial gardens and growers. Growers will be interested in FLORENCE 
NIGHTINGALE, not only for its outstanding qualities, but also because of the absence 
of Picardy blood. This past season this was tried out in Florida and reports say it is the 
best white ever grown there; also a wonderful shipper. Will become the leading cut 
flower in a few years.
