MORNING STAR —A rich, creamy white. I like it 
best of the Picardy sports. Will throw some reverts 
but | have had little of this trouble. Florets very 
large, a little winged and fluted, a very nice style. 
MOUNTAIN GEM — Medium red which is very fine. 
Some of the best commercial growers rate this one 
very highly. It's picotee edging adds to its beautiful 
otherwise self coloring. 
NEW YORKER — This 1950 introduction of Dr. Graff's 
performed remarkably well for me and others this 
past summer. It’s a delicate light pink with promi- 
nent midrib. Will open 6-8 large slightly ruffled 
florets on tall, sturdy stems. Placement and sub- 
stance good. Looks like a very promising commer- 
cial as well as exhibition glad. 
NEWPORT WHITE — One of my favorite whites. Pure 
chalk white. Huge florets of good substance. Strong 
growing. Absolutely one of the top-notch whites. 
Don't know of anything better in this class. 
NELLIE LOU — Flesh pink with deeper throat marks. 
Giant in size, robust and healthy. A good exhibition 
cial. Color is deep salmon scarlet. Florets of medium 
size with many open in perfect double row place- 
ment. Typical spikes for florists work. A good cut- 
ting variety. Late midseason. 
NOWETA ROSE — Designed for the show table. Deep 
rose, good substance, many open in formal, compact 
arrangement. | have some choice, well-grown bulbs. 
A good show record for this one and it will win for 
you, too. 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE — For the shows we usually 
make baskets of Wedgwood and October Sunshine, a 
very beautiful combination of pastel colors. October 
Sunshine is yellow with Autumn tones of buff. Much 
in demand for commercial growing. 
OKLAHOMA — Smoky grey with blue overcast. An 
older variety but very popular and well liked. We 
always arrange it with small spikes of Burma. Try 
this combination for striking beauty. 
ORANGE GOLD — One of the best commercial vari- 
eties in this class. Spikes are very tall with about 
5 open. Color deep, rich orange. Very fine for 
florists work. Always wins for me at the shows. 
ORIENTAL PEARL — One of the largest glads grown. 
A very light cream which opens around five florets 
often measuring 7 inches across. Many of my cus- 
tomers reported that it has been their best money 
making variety. Always in demand by florists. This 
is especially true of those who deliver direct to the 
florist trade. A little too large and brittle for the 
commercial markets. Nothing so delightful for the 
home garden. Often wins for largest floret. 
PACTOLUS — Deep ruffled buff with prominent scar- 
let throat marking. Good strong grower. Well liked 
at all shows and fine for florists work. You'll buy it 
sooner or later, so why not now? 
PARTHIENA — A giant, deep purple-lavender which 
has ‘‘gone to town’’ at many shows. Wery vigorous 
growth, many large florets open, Well worth grow- 
ing.

PERDITA — Deep yellow with scarlet blotch. Ruffled, 
many open florets with good placement. Vigorous 
grower, good cut flower variety and has many, many 
wins at the shows. 
PHANTOM BEAUTY — One of the best light pinks. 
Opens ten or more on tall spikes. Precise placement. 
Grows easily. Propagates well. A good all-around 
variety. 
PHIPPS JR. — Early blooming light pink with some 
flecking which adds to rather than detract from its 
Opens a lot of well arranged florets on a 
good, straight spike. Early glads can be money- 
makers, but you must plant them early for cutting 
while prices are high. The early varieties usually do 
best when blooming in their early season. 
PINK LACE — Can be a very fine, attractive medium 
pink. Substance good, color good. Opens 6-8 lovely 
florets on a good, straight spike. 
POINCIANA — Another good, substantial red. Florets 
up to 6 inches with many open. Ruffled and fluted. 
O. K. in every respect. 
PREVIEW — Cerise rose, shading to white throat. Tall 
spikes, 7 open. Early, vigorous grower. An excel- 
lent commercial. 
open from 12 to 18 florets, a trifle over 3 inches 
across, slightly ruffled and of good placement. Can 
easily win for most open florets as it did this year. 
Soft, clear yellow, lower florets slightly darker. Tall, 
always straight, placement very good.

for you if you are in the cut flower end of the 
business. 
cial have come true. Spikes are tall, florets 51/2 
inches, many open. Placement excellent. Bright 
medium red with deeper throat blotch. All cut flower 
growers should have this one. 
RAVEL — One of the best blues for commercial grow- 
ing. Color is violet blue with purple-red blotch. 
Opens up to 8 large florets with good placement. 
Bulblet germination a little slow. 
RED WING — Now at the top of the rating for com- 
mercial reds. Spikes always tall, 8-10 open florets of 
5% inch size. Approximately 60 inches, 22-24 buds. 
You can't go wrong on this one. 
RHETT BUTLER — A medium scarlet leaning a trifle 
to orange. Tall, wiry stems. An ideal commercial 
Healthy, easy growing. Has done well in 
RIDGELEY — Medium purple. Tall, absolutely straight 
spikes. Very late. Florets of tremendous size. I'll

come when it does. Get started now. 
ROSY LIGHT — An early, tall growing medium rose 
with lighter throat. Ruffled, opens 7-8 41 inch 
florets. Looks quite promising. 
produce 30-inch flower heads. Color medium red 
and ruffled. Stock still very scarce and high priced. 
Will fill orders with reluctance but only for a limited 
part of my stock. 
RUTH ANN — Outstanding and different in the laven- 
der class. Large, ruffled florets, deep orchid colored 
lip with lighter lavender-pink tones. Will open 8. 
Healthy and a good propagator. 
SEASHELL — Tremendous, large, rich coral pink. Ruf- 
fled, medium height and quite late. Striking. Has 
size and beauty. Really very good. 
SIBONY — Ruffled rosy lavender which will open 
around 8 finely shaped florets. A good exhibition 
variety. 
SPIC AND SPAN — (see Page 23) 
grow. Really a dusty pale lavender. Very vigorous 
growth, tall spikes with a lot open. I like it and 
rate it highly. 
STRAWBERRY PEACH — Large ruffled orange pink 
with scarlet blotch. Opens 6-8 florets. Flower heads 
are a little compact but makes a very suitable spike 
for florists’ work. I like this one better and better 
as the years go by. A very dependable cutting variety. 
SMYRNA — Here’s a variety which has been over- 
looked by many. It is listed only in a few catalogues, 
but you will find it really outstanding for your 
home decorative work. Rather difficult to describe. 
The over-all color is deep buff with veigning effects 
of fuschia purple, lending a stippled effect. Rather 
odd, yet appealing. 
SUNBEAM — Rich, bright orange with yellow feather. 
Spikes tall, straight with many medium sized florets 
open. Propagates well, grows easily. Looks very 
promising. 
SUNDANCE — One of the very best yellows. Medium, 
even toned yellow. Florets 5 inches with many open. 
Placement always good. Grows straight and nice. 
A-1. 
SUNSPOT —A popular exhibition variety. Very for- 
mal placement. Color, buff, with rose throat mark- 
ings. Large sized. Healthy and vigorous. Many 
show wins. 
TRALEE —A top notch commercial. Early, light 
lavender. Spikes always straight and perfect for 
cutting. Should be in every commercial planting. 
TWINKLES — A beautifully ruffled miniature. Heavy 
substance. Color is orange pink with deep yellow 
throat, with some red pencilling. 
TIVOLI — Has reached the top in popularity. One of 
the best foreign varieties. Clear, light rose. An ex- 
cellent commercial. 
VELVET MANTLE — Tall, spiral spikes with many 
open. Shining maroon florets. One of the best in 
this class. Medium sized and always wins for me at 
the shows, especially in the three spike class. Early. 
WEDGWOOD — Strong growing lavender with large 
cream throat. An attractive combination. Very ruf- 
fled and artistic. Blooms easily from bulblets. 
WHITE CHALLENGE. A favored, tall white. Florets 
are tinged a blush pink and have a small rose blotch 
in throat. Heavy texture. Opens 7-8 on a well built 
spike. Giant sized. Heavy show winner. Rated highly 
for commercial growing. 
WHITE GODDESS — Has received very high ranking 
in trials and by our best critics. Ruffled white of 
heavy substance. Tall and healthy and very vigorous. 
In great demand. 
WILMA DITTMAN —A very large flowered clean buff 
with very light pencilling in throat. Ruffled and of 
heavy texture. Opens up to 8 six inch florets on 
tall, robust spike. Produces many bulblets which 
germinate easily. A very fine and very promising 
commercial variety. 
YELLOW SEA —A clear light yellow. Many florets 
open, making a long ribbon of color. It is early and 
opens well when cut in bud. Florists like it for their 
special work. It is a sure winner in the 210 class.
