CLARENCE 
D. FORTNAM 
Crass 440 
Clarence D. Fortnam, a 1950 introduction, is a very 
beautiful, heavily ruffled, blush pink Glad. Its 5” 
needlepoint florets are borne on a 24” flower-head with 
8 of its 21 buds open and another 8 showing color. 
Its heavy substance, tight attachment and excellent 
keeping qualities make it a very promising cut-flower 
variety. Bulblet production and germination are excel- 
lent. 
While we do not have a complete record of its win- 
nings for 1950, those we do have help make a very im- 
pressive record for so new a Glad. To date, in addition 
to many blue ribbons in the color classes, it has won 3 
grand champion and 2 second-day champion awards, 
4 “most beautiful’ awards, and 2 American Home 
Achievement Medals. Perhaps its most outstanding 
success as a show flower was achieved at the Eastern 
International Show this past season where one spike 
received the distinction of being grand champ, “most 
beautiful’ and best recent introduction. 
Large bulbs, $5.00 each; medium, $4.00 each; small, $3.00 each; bulblets, 50¢ each. 
10 bulbs of any one size may be purchased for 8 times the single price. 
FAIRYLAND 
Crass 360 
The illustration of Fairyland on the cover describes better than words the form, 
ruffling and decorative value of this Glad. The color is a medium rose with an incon- 
spicuous throat mark of a deeper shade. Florets are 4’”” in diameter, flower-head 22” 
and overall height 50’. Stem is straight and strong. Propogation is excellent. 
At the time of its introduction, one year ago, Fairyland was recommended chiefly 
for its decorative value. Reports which we have received from those who grew it last 
season seem to confirm this evaluation, namely, that it will be an excellent commercial 
variety. One large cut-flower grower who tried it in the North last summer has just 
purchased additional bulbs for Florida trials this winter. We hope you will like it too.
