1952 INTRODUCTIONS 
SO WE COME TO THE THRILLS, THE 1952 INTRODUCTIONS. ALL HAVE 
BEEN GROWN BY ME IN MY OWN GARDEN WITH NO FERTILIZER, NO 
PAMPERING, ONLY A LITTLE EXTRA WATER, AND WITH SEVERAL GOOD 
GLAD JUDGES CHECKING THEIR PERFORMANCE 
Introductions for 1952 from Various Hybridizers 
From FRANK F. LUND, Cotati, Calif., one of the best known hybridizers on the Pacific 
Coast, artist, connisseur and fine gentleman. Four glads which I am proud to be per- 
mitted to introduce for him: 
SONOMA (GANNET SPORT) Height 66”, 32” flowerhead, 25 to 26 buds, 51% to 6” florets, 
10 open, 8 in color, brilliant scarlet, with soft cream throat. A giant in the field with 
perfect spacing and facing. A healthy robust grower, that can stand heat and drouth 
and come up smiling. 
CHRISTIANA: Formerly seedling No. 28 (Helen of Troy X E. C. Cole) Height 50” 18 to 
20 buds, flowerhead 25”, 6” florets, 8 open, 6 in color, light pink with orange red 
blotch and looks like one of the greatest commercials I have grown. Health excellent 
and facing and spacing excellent. 
INGABORG: Formerly seedling No. 1321, E. C. Cole seed parent X unknown. Field height 
20”, flowerhead 25”, 19 buds with 5” florets, peach pink, somewhat more buff than 
Picardy, ruffled and fluted, 8 open, with 6 in color, slight inconspicious feather in 
throat, grand florists color, health excellent, looks like a winner.
