Variety Deseriptions and Evaluations 
ADORATION — A good, early blush pink with lighter 
throat. Medium in height and flower size but pro- 
duces good cutting spikes. Valuable florists’ variety 
especially for early season. 
ALOHA — Tall growing apricot color with lighter 
throat. A strong grower in every respect. Straight, 
wiry, with good placement. 
AMERICAN BEAUTY — This deep rose is well recom- 
mended for commercial use. Ruffled, good sub- 
stance, two-toned throat and vigorous growth. Color 
is a little dark but we need more variety in our 
selection of colors and this is a worthy one to add 
to your list. 
ANGELA LYNN — Creamy white, heavily ruffled. A 
good performer the first year on the market. 
APRIL — April is an early variety, a good coral 
pink. Florets are large, but not many open. In 
spite of this it is an excellent flower and good be- 
cause it is early. 
BARBARA ANN SCOTT — Ruffled cream of good sub- 
stance and attachment. Strong, healthy grower. 
BIG JOE — (see Page 9) 
BIRCH RED — Has long been one of my favorites. 
Large, round florets of good substance. The deep red 
flowers are always well placed in compact form 
to produce a mass of color. A good commercial 
red although propagation is rather slow. 
BLACK CHERRY — Giant black red and sure winner 
on the show bench. 6-8 large florets open. Propa- 
gation also a little slow but it is one of our best dark 
colored glads. 
BLUE BOY —A fine medium blue leaning to violet 
and dark throat markings. A strong grower for a 
blue. 
BOISE BELLE — Has attracted a lot of attention and 
is in great demand. Deep pink with yellow lip 
petals and attractive yellow edging. Opens 9-10 
ruffled blooms. Quite late so plant very early for 
the shows. Has good commercial rating. 
BONNIE BRAE — (see Page 7) 
BO PEEP — Ruffled buff pink, small flowering vari- 
ety. Cream throat. One of the few miniatures 1 
grow and one of the best. Blooms freely from 
bulblets. 
BRIDAL ORCHID — (see Page 21) 
BRIGHT EYES —A rich yellow with appealing rose 
throat. Not an extra tall grower for me but all 
spikes came uniformly good with many open florets 
in formal placement. | like this one very much. 
Artistic and nice for florists’ work. You’ll like it 
too. 
BURMA — (New Selected) — Usually | do not pay 
much attention to selected strains of glads, but | 
have tried this one from Wards Flower Ranch and it 
has proved to be really outstanding. Hitherto | have 
never been able to grow good Burma but the few 
bulbs which | had of this strain produced mar- 
velous spikes. Florets were wide open, 8 or 9 at a 
time, color seemed a trifle lighter, at least a brighter 
throat. Tall, vigorous and wonderful in every 
respect. Try it and see. 
CHARLOTTE RUSSE —A choice, highly ruffled cream 
with rose throat marks. Formal placement. Very 
fine. 
CHINOOK —A most vigorous, tall, large orange 
salmon. Really husky but very fine. Bulbs firm, clean 
and make good size from bulblets. An outstanding 
variety in my estimation. 
CITATION — Rated as one of the tallest varieties. 
Flowers medium sized of rich pink, with lighter throat. 
COLONIAL DAME —A ruffled and frilled lavender, 
which will open 10 or more florets. Has won many 
awards in Canadian shows. Be sure to try it. 
CONNIE G—A new sstyle, tall ruffled cream. A 
top-notch exhibition. Opens 8 large well placed 
florets. Very ruffled and of striking rich color. 
COTILLION —A deep pink with creamy throat. A 
prominent exhibition variety because of its many 
open florets and double row placement. Tall, vigor- 
ous. Can be striking and nice. 
CYNTHIA — A fine medium yellow. Tall. Many open 
flowers, double row placement. A very good early 
and valuable yellow which I predict has a good 
future as a cut flower. 
CORONET — A smaller sized lavender. Florets winged 
and fluted. Choice for color and may prove better 
than Wedgwood. 
DAYBREAK — Here was an excellent performer in my 
garden last year. A buff or smoky cream with some 
line markings. Placement and attachment good. I 
recommend it. 
EVANGELINE — This variety has been criticised be- 
cause the first florets sometimes come irregular, but 
in my appraisal it is a great glad and will prove to 
be a real commercial variety. Has size, color, height, 
a lot open. Color is a beautiful buff pink. Giant in 
size. Very tall. 
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE — One of the strongest 
growing whites. You can cut bulblet spikes in early 
fall. Ruffled, good substance, tall and healthy. Much 
in demand. Top rating commercial white. 
FRIENDSHIP —A choice early, delicate pink with 
creamy-white throat. Medium sized florets. Blooms 
very early. You need it for this reason, but it also 
has the good growing habits and fine color to rate 
it as a very satisfactory commercial. 
GOLDEN CROWN — (see Page 27) 
GOLD MEDAL — Early, robust, tall and fine in many 
respects. Florets are very large with good coloring 
composed of yellow and orange-buff tones. Florists’ 
trade will approve this reliable grower and you will 
too. 
GRACE DARLING —A strong, healthy-growing light 
rose pink with white throat. Will open 8 five-inch 
florets on tall straight stems. Looks good to me. 
HEARTS DESIRE — (see Page 25) 
IVY — Large, somewhat ruffled orange-pink florets 
with lighter throat. Very vigorous, healthy and easy 
grower. 
JINI MARIE — Heavily ruffled salmon peach with 
darker throat markings. 
JUNE ROSE — Made a fine reputation the first year 
out. Choice deep rose color. Medium large florets. 
An early bloomer, consistent grower, good propagator. 
Good in every respect. 
KEEFER — A tremendously large deep blue which will 
open 8-10 large florets. A good spike will really 
thrill you. It is more of a cool weather glad as it 
is sometimes subject to flecking in hot weather. 
KEEPSAKE — A very handsome, rich yellow with some- 
what deeper yellow coloring in the throat. Florets 
are beautifully formed and opens around 6 on a tall 
tapering spike. A very fine yellow which will in- 
crease in popularity, especially for commercial grow- 
ing. 
KING DAVID — (see Page 17) 
LADY MARION —A two-toned rose lavender which 
opens 8-10 florets of good size. Grows tall and 
straight. A good exhibition and commercial flower. 
A color combination which will appeal to florists. 
LAVALLE — Has made a fine reputation for itself the 
first year. The ruffled florets are of rich cream with 
a small throat marking of deep orange. Florets 51/2 
inches, 6-8 open on tall, straight spikes. 
standing. 
LILA WALLACE — (see Page 15) 
LUCKY — A medium sized, pale lavender with cream 
throat. A nice cutting variety, propagates fast, ger- 
minates easily. 
MADALINE BROWN — Nearest to Picardy in color and 
will outgrow it for height and size. Stock strong and 
healthy. A trial will convince you that it’s good. 
MADALINE HEFTY — Rose lavender with darker rose 
ihroat. Florets 51/2 inches with up to 8 open. Place- 
ment and substance good. 
MANCHU — Striking, attractive oriental colors of rich 
yellow and Chinese red. Spikes tall, florets informal 
but decorative. Especially valuable for home ar- 
rangements. Modern florists will appreciate this glad 
for their decorative work. Really very unusual and 
nice. 
MARGARET JEAN — (see Page 11) 
MELLOW MOON — (see Page 27) 
MIGHTY MONARCH —A tall, straight, deep red 
which easily blooms from bulblets. Sturdy and of 
good substance. A real good red. 
MISS ALBERTA — (see Page 11) 
MISS CHICAGO — Sensational baskets of this variety 
starred in displays at the Central Inter-National show 
this past summer. The giant, beautifully colored 
flower heads created beautiful pictures for all to ad- 
mire. Color of rose lavender with inverted yellow 
crescent throat. Florets compact, very large, produc- 
ing massed coloring for florists’ work. Needs good 
culture to gain height but it will reward you for a 
little extra attention. 
MISS WISCONSIN — Most popular of the deep rose 
colors. Grown in tremendous quantities for the com- 
mercial markets. Always a winner on the show 
table.
