BIRCHVILLE GARDENS — Plainville, Connecticut 
PINK PARAGON (Cassabeer 43) 342-90 é 
Bright clear pink, which opens 5 to 7 blooms on a long flowerhead, One that florists 
are fond of. Outstanding as a commercial. 
PINK RADIANCE (Quakenbush 41) 440-85 
A pure pink, opens 6 to 8 on a tall spike. A very dependable glad and one of my 
favorites for cutting. 
PRESIDENT TRUMAN (Salmon 48) 540-95 
Light blush pink with salmon-white base. Opens 8 on a tall spike. The huge florets are 
beautiful, reaching 7 inches across. Have heavy texture and are well placed on a long 
head with 26 to 30 buds. 
PURPLE SUPREME (Wilson 42) 470-85 ; 
One of the good purples for show and commercial use. It opens 8 on a very tall spike 
and is a heavy propagator. A glad which everyone seems to like. 
RADIANCE (Butt 42) 350-70 . 
A very early light red with deeper feather in the throat. An attractive color. Has good 
placement with 8 medium size florets open. Good early cut flower. 
RAVEL (K. & M. 47) 477-77 : 
A fine dark blue that has a lot of class opens 6 on a perfect spike. Certainly one of the 
best blues to date. Bulbs are said to be unhealthy, but I have not had this troub'e as 
yet. 
ROLLA (Kaylor 45) 480-80 
A novelty that is hard to describe — one of the oddest glads. It is a tall grower that 
is reddish-purple at the outer edges, shading lighter to the throat and with an orange 
overcast. 
ROSA VAN LIMA (Pfitzer 40) 460-80 
A fine light rose-pink. A very good grower and one of the best cut flowers. 
ROYAL WINDSOR (Beaton 46) 550-80 
A very bright spectrum red with 53 florets. Has 20 buds with 8 to 10 open on a 54 inch 
spike. Excellent texture and perfect placement. One of the best of the new glads. 
Award of Merit at Detroit in 1943. 
SALMAN’S GLORY (Salman 47) 507-80 
The best from Europe in some time — a supreme beauty and a gaint. Pure light 
cream with carmine blotch. Opens 6 well placed florets. One of the very best. Attracts 
a lot of attention. 
SILVER STAR (Snyder 45) 401-90 
Large white with bright purple blotch. Florets are 4 to 5 inches with 6 to 8 open on 
tall, stiff spike, a winner at the shows. 
SILVER WINGS (Ritsma 44) 500-88 
Another white sport of Picardy which is more ruffled and whiter than Leading Lady. 
It is a heavy propagator and in the opinion of some growers, much better than Leading 
Lady. Truly very fine and am sure you will enjoy growing it. 
SNOW PRINCESS (Pfitzer 39) 400-80 
A large white that is a good commercial and show glad. It is about the best of the 
cheaper whites and a very good grower. 
SPARKS (Glass 47) 507-95 
This is a variety that strikes you right in the eye. Glistening ivory with an orange- 
scarlet feather on the lower petals. Opens 7 large fluted florets and has 16 to 18 buds. 
Tall plant. One of the best 1947 introductions. 
SPIC & SPAN (Carlson 46) 482-80 
A tall ruffled pink that opens up to 10 with 8 more showing color. The placement is 
excellent and the spikes are tall and straight. Has won many championship awards 
and is a fine commercial. You can’t afford to be without Spic & Span,
