BUFF—16 Series 
416 HUGH PRICE (Both ’46) (our ’48 
import release) LM. The color is 
thoroughly clean. A _ bright buff, 
slightly salmon -toned, blending into 
yellow throat. Florets all but perfectly 
round, about 4% inches and larger. 
To their beauty of color is added 
beauty of form, being well ruffled and 
ribbed. Makes grand spikes with 8-10 
open in full double row placement. 
As our stock increases from a small 
start, so also our experience and 
ability to appraise. We do not hesitate 
to classify this variety well within 
the limits of the world’s most beauti- 
fully colored glads. Its round floret 
shape and perfect spike outline, to- 
gether with the ribbing and ruffling 
and its shining, bright, clean color 
mark it surely for “knockout” classi- 
fication. So far we consider it flaw- 
less in every respect. 
One of the. 6 to 8 varieties whose 
florets fully withstood a_ prolonged 
soggy, water-soaking period. 
Currently the top color rated buff 
variety.
