1950 INTRODUCTIONS 
eriRe Reishee 
GoLp LoDE X GOLDEN GODDESS 
(About 70 days)...The name fits both color and per- 
formance. The deep canary yellow you all need for show 
and commercial. The iron clad all weather glad. We feel 
that we can now truthfully say that Terrific is the best 
all around performing glad we have ever introduced. 
Florets well open, not hooded, formal type, 5% inch 
floret, with extra strong attachment, 12-13 open, 22-23 
buds, 29 inch head, 69 inches overall, straight strong 
slender stem to very tip. We have had 16 buds showing 
color before any opened, up to 8 open the first morning. 
In 1949 when digging we kept three large bulbs separate 
and when cleaned they averaged 197 blts, per bulb not 
counting pin heads of about the same amount and these 
pin heads really germinated strong and made no, 7 bulbs. 
Blts, are small but germinate close to 100% and do not 
require peeling, cracking or soaking as shells are very thin. 
Not a husky grower from blts, but making their real growth 
from bulbs in all sizes. For the past three years Terrific has 
had very trying weather tests and has been a real soldier 
through all, especially in extreme heat. The past summer 
with three weeks of cool days and cold nights the sun 
suddenly popped out to a tune of 96 degrees when little 
heads were out of the sheath 8 to 12 inches a very trying 
time under such conditions, most varieties were wilting 
and burning badly but Terrific showed no signs of wilt, 
went through it as though the temperature were only 60 
degrees. Remarkable, YES. 
Our few large bulbs bloomed out of show dates again 
this year but we are in no way fearfull, as we are con- 
fident the blue ribbons will fall when it does hit the shows. 
Many growers will back us up on this statement. 
Terrific is not just another yellow, it is the yellow all 
growers need both fancier and commercial. Everyone 
who has seen it in bloom has bought stock and with the 
price cut in half now is your time to buy. We can make 
growers price on 500 to 1000 bits, but not on pints and 
quarts yet. Per each, Large $4.00; Medium $2.00; Small 
$1.00; Blts, .30 or 10 for $2.50, or $100 for 15.00. 
ALZADA
