REDS: This is a big class, but there are really only a few that can be classed as good 
commercial dependable performers each and every season. I am including Scarlets 
in this class) RHETT BUTLER is the finest early scarlet in commercials, and I am 
getting wonderful reports on its performance all over the country and also in Aus- 
tralia. It is now cheap enough for everyone to grow, and when that first spike opens 
you will get a thrill from its brilliant color. RED CHERRY is good, NANCY always 
dependable. RED CHARM grown by the thousands is still able to compete with 
the best of them and wins it share of ribbons on the show table. NINETY GRAND 
is a dependable performer and you will like its straight spikes and 100% cutting 
ability. DIEPPE is the finest midseason scarlet and should be grown by the millions. 
The new ROYAL FLUSH is a marked advance in this color, and when cheaper will 
be grown by everyone. I have some rather startling red seedlings coming on that 
are heavily ruffled and needle pointd, on of which to be introduced in 1952. MANDRIN, 
a tomato red, is a new color break, and very beautiful. RED WING, always de- 
pendable. 
PINKS: I am not including rose pinks because they are a large class in themselves. 
I am however, including the Salmons. SPIC AND SPAN one of the finest ever 
introduced, JINI MARIE another good commercial, GAYLORE as dependable as any 
I know of, CITATION for those who want them 72” tall, FRIENDSHIP one of the 
dantiest, and the new DOROTHY MARGARET is out of this world. PINK SATIN 
another beautiful glad, DOLLY VARDEN and FRAZER are big, tall and open eight 
easily, GRACE DARLING will win your heart and grow in dry sand and still per- 
form. SUPREME BEAUTY will certainly rate among the top twenty-five or thirty, 
COMPLEXION another fine glad, the new VANITY FAIR is a milestone in blush 
pinks, BONNIE BRAE a 1951 introduction one of the best, ANNE SHERMAN from 
Ted Woods surely rates near the top. The new HONEYDEW and PRAIRIE SUNSET 
are good exhibitions and you will like them both. DREAM CASTLE, certainly one 
of the top 25 glads in commerce, and one you will eventually grow. KOKOMO 
GIANT, a giant indeed, grows 72” easily, with 7%” florets, that hold up. MISS 
MADISON is grand, a connisseurs glad. Earliest pink, coming in with RHETT 
BUTLER, and a humdinger for the early market, is PHIPPS JR. It will really make 
money for the early market. The new VANITY FAIR, is an exquisite blush pink you 
cannot overlook.
