PERCY BARRETT 
Here is a much better picture of PERCY BARRETT, with a real smile, standing 
beside a future introduction, so good, he is really grinning. He has some great glads 
to his credit, and here are 6 for 1951: 
VALDA: A huge, rosey lavender, more rose than lavender, 514” floret grows 58”, with 
30” flowerhead, 22 buds, opens 8 with 8 in color, heavily ruffled and needle pointed 
petals. A stretchy Eliz. The Queen, on the rose side. One of his masterpieces. 
EVENING STAR: This is without a doubt the most heavily ruffled white glad, pure 
white, texture like leather, grows 60” with 28” flowerhead, 6%” floret, opens 8, 
with 8 in color. Just examine that ruffling in the picture. You wonder how those 
buds will open but they do. 
Above two, any size at $5.00 per corm, bulblets 50c each, with purchase of corm. Not 
over 10 bbts. with each corm. 
MARTHA WASHINGTON: A heavily ruffled lavender with cream throat, very colonial 
lavender, grows 55” tall, 30’ flowerhead, 22 buds, 542” floret, 8 open, 8 in color. 
A real exhibition, or commercial. 
RED GLEAM: A heavily ruffled BEACON, scarlet with yellow throat, that is healthy, 
and remember how we all loved Beacon but it was not healthy, and many of us 
discarded it. This one is tough, in fact the thrip will not touch it for some reason 
or other. Grows 56”, with 28” flowerhead 514” floret, opens 8, with 8 in color. 
HONEY DEW: A most unusual flesh pink, with greenish cream throat, almost char- 
treuse, ruffled and needle pointed petals 5%” floret, 22 buds, 7 open 7 in color, grows 
566” tall with great substance, vigor and lasting qualities. 
PRAIRIE SUNSET: A huge salmon, with deeper throat, on which are some small 
geranium throat marks, with 66%” florets, heavily ruffled, grows 60”, with 30” 
flowerhead, 22 buds, opens 8 with 8 in color. A candidate for Champion Spike in 
any show. 
Above 4 introductions popularly priced at L. $2.00, M. $1.50, S. $1.00, bbts. at 25c each, 
with the purchase of one corm.
