sore rareee te RON ROSE will top everything for an earlier rose com- 
emcee tee is aaa or and will SST UU be the early nee glad grown 
ah erie Geeta: enna Pee canes and 2 rea cutter. HUNTRESS is good from 
; SE will really give you a thrill, and of course old de- 
pendable BURMA still wins champion spikes regardless of its vintage. The new 
LILA WALLACE while small is one of the most marvelous colors I have ever seen 
with its sheer, velvety deep rose color, it’s a “must hav’, AMERICAN BEAUTY 
which has been overlooked by some is still one of the finest. HI HO, really a rosey 
salmon, but should come in here, igs excellent. MISS CHICAGO a very beautiful and 
healthy glad. 
LAVENDERS: Lavenders or Mauves as they are called in Canada are improved 
tremendously. No commercial list would be complete without ELIZABETH THE 
QUEEN, ABIGAIL a good one, the newer LAVENDER LACE looks very good, 
FALCON and MADELINE HEAVTY are excellent, while the newer BRIDAL 
ORCHID will eventually be grown by everyone, from the hybridizer who created 
SPIC AND SPAN it is bound to become just as popular. The new VALDA a huge, 
deeper lavender than ELIZABETH THE QUEEN with better stretch and MARTHA 
WASHINGTON a heavily ruffled lavender with creamy throat are extra good. 
COLONIAL DAME still winning on the show tables and has one of the longest flower- 
heads while MYRTLE GRACE is perhaps the earliest. FALCON an excellent glad 
you will love. 
ORANGES: MARGARET JEAN won division championships all over the country 
and is still perhaps one of the best. The new PEACH GLOW while having some 
buff in it is heavily ruffled and a definite improvement in this color. The older 
LAKESIDE orange is still fine, and you just have to have DAISY MAE for its huge 
size and dependability. TASCO a new comer looks like a real orange. ENCORE, 
while showing some scarlet is basically an orange, and a completely dependable 
cutter, and show glad. 
BLUES: Still a bit weak with BLUE BEAUTY leading the pack followed closely by 
RAVEL, FIRMAMENT, GREAT LAKES, BLUE LAGOON, the new BLUE BARON 
is definitely an improvement and being early will replace most of them when better 
known. 
SMOKIES: STORMY WEATHER has won several grand champions this year, 
OPEACHEE is one of the best of the newer introductions. If you are looking for a 
good dependable Smokey in the low price field, SANDMAN is pretty hard to beat. 
PURPLES: This class is definitely weak with PURPLE SUPREME probably the 
best known, but among the newer ones ROYAL ROBES and ALJECHIN look good 
and do not peel. They seem to stand handling much better than some of the others. 
The new KING DAVID appears to be the purple we have been looking for. It’s 
performance has been grand, it’s show record spectacular and coming from the in- 
troducer of SPIC & SPAN, it has to be good. 
BUFFS: SUNSPOT still leads the parade and is too well known to describe. WILMA 
DITTMAN is an excellent commercial, IVY is one of the best, PACTOLUS outdid it- 
self this year. The new PEACH GLOW, while leaning toward the orange side, is a 
knockout.
