are even in the row and cut out quickly. In 
overall height it is 53-55’ with 25” flower 
heads. ‘Total buds 19-20 with 7-8 florets open 
in a double row with a similar number in color 
and tapered gracefully, not ending abruptly. 
Attachment is extra good, placement perfect 
and the wide open florets are slightly ruffled and 
5’ in diameter. Aptly named, Royalty should 
establish itself as the king of the purples for 
both exhibition and cut flower purposes. 
Best of all it is a fine propagator and makes 
big, high crowned, easily cleaned and good 
keeping bulbs. Bulblets are produced profusely 
and grow almost 100%. If this glad has any 
discernible faults they haven’t shown up yet.

From G. W. WRIGHT 
Pauline (400) (Maid of Orleans x Star of 
Bethlehem x white seedling) In 
introducing this variety I believe I am putting 
out the best all around white on the market. 
The details as sent in for registration are “pure 
white with no markings, 514” slightly ruffled 
florets on a 24’ spike with 9 open and 7 in color, 
28”’ head, plants 55’’ tall, blooms in go days.” 
This past year after Pauline was registered 
Mr. Wright had many plants over 5 ft. tall 
with blooms over 6’ across. In the Canadian 
Test Gardens it scored 92 in ’50, which I 
understand was never equalled but once. 
It received an award of merit in the Canadian 
Test Gardens with the notation “for a new 
variety designated ‘50346 Pauline’ and rated as 
showing a sufficiently distinct advance on its 
predecessors.” 
In the New Brunswick trial ground in 1951 
Pauline scored 100, believe it or not! It had 
22 buds with rr open and 11 showing color, 
5%” blooms. In the B.C. trials it scored 95. 
It had 27 buds, 614’’ flower, 8 open and 6 in 
color. 
In all the Canadian trials in ’50 and ’51 
it had an average score of 92. Can you beat 
that? Received Gold Medal in 1951 Canadian 
Trial Grounds. 
Pauline has won plenty of prizes the past 
2 years including Grand Champ at the 1951 
Canadian Show and I believe will hold its own 
with any other white on the Show Table. But I 
believe its main value will be as a commercial 
variety. It is much whiter than Florence Night- 
ingale and seems to have all that great variety’s 
good points but none of its bad ones. It opens 
well in water and really looks much better 
opened inside than in the field. 
It’s a fine grower and propagator and opens 
19 
well in water. We have a lot of good whites on 
the market but still have needed a better one. 
I believe this is it.

Poinsettia (Parentage unknown) One par- 
ent probably Tip Top. Intro- 
ducer’s description. 
“Color—pure light spectrum red, slightly 
ruffled. Class 450—blooming time 85-90 days. 
Height of spike over all s0-55’’. Up to 21 bud 
count with 5—7 open with 25’ flower head. Stem 
medium heavy, always straight and stands heat 
well without crooking. Opens well from tight 
bud making it an extra good commercial with 
extra fine keeping qualities. Propagation good 
with germination fair to good from bulblet 
stock bulblets. Stock bulblets hard to germinate 
first year but if held over and planted second 
year will germinate almost perfectly. 
“Tested in 1950 NAGC trial gardens. Out of 
61 seedlings tested, 5 were approved and 
Poinsettia rated 3rd of the 5 approved. Also 
approved as disease resistant in Florida test. 
“Poinsettia has not been shown at any of 
the large shows but has won locally wherever 
displayed. Shipment of spikes sent air express 
in 1948 to Lima, New York seedling show was 
awarded a blue ribbon and approved by the 
judges. Won best basket two years straight at 
Oregon State Fair. 
“We feel that Poinsettia is a real new intro- 
duction if our 27 years growing and judging 
glads qualifies us as a judge of a good new 
variety. It will be especially fine as a com- 
mercial as it has all the good qualities that a 
good glad should have. Its extreme richness in 
color, healthy stock, fine growing habits should 
rate it as one of the finest reds yet introduced.”
