GLADVIEW GARDENS 5 
RED is a late bloomer, a sure winner 
—if you can get it in bloom for the 
shows. KENWOOD is another dandy 
red that is becoming more popular 
every year. RED CHARM by its con- 
sistent performance is now recognized 
as the leading commercial red. 
DARK RED—BLACK KNIGHT, al- 
though its color is brownish red has 
great possibilities as a show flower. 
BLACK CHERRY, the darkest—nearly 
black red—in this class ranks near the 
top. VELVET MANTLE is one that 
can take the heat—has long straight 
spikes and has a marvelous color. 
ORANGE—ORANGE GOLD has always 
been one of our favorites and its per- 
formance the past season has not 
changed our judgment. BETTY DUN- 
CAN has a charming beauty all its 
own. TROCADERO, classed as an 
orange has height, color and attractive- 
ness. OCTOBER SUNSHINE an 
orange-yellow blend was a very satis- 
factory performer. 
ROSE—PERSONALITY and MISS WIS- 
CONSIN are two in this class that 
have a pleasing charm that will win 
for them at the shows, PERSONAL- 
ITY is the larger of the two. NOW- 
ETA ROSE—an exhibition type with 
10 to 12 open at once is magnificent. 
It is destined to be a great show win- 
ner. BURMA—dark rose—needs no 
introduction or recommendation from 
glad fans. In our estimation it is no 
doubt the greatest glad ever intro- 
duced. IT has “everything.” 
BLUE: VIOLET—ABU HASSAN and 
BLUE LAGOON were the two best 
performers in the violet class. SHER- 
WOOD a beautiful ruffled purple and 
LANCASTER, somewhat darker ap- 
peared to be the best in this class. 
If you have not been growing blotched 
varieties. Here is a timely “Tip.” Try 
PACTOLAS. This is a new variety from 
Eurove. It is showy and beautiful. There 
will be a great demand for this one this 
season.
