BLACK RED—54 Series 
354 ATATURK (Salman) (our ’51 im- 
port release) E. Very deep, velvety 
black red, a bit lighter red in upper 
throat. Has a glossy, flushed appear- 
ance. Opens 8 in field on wiry stem 
with an occasional crook under adverse 
weather. Some could consider the head 
a bit short for the stem and so far 
(2 years) propagation is below “satis- 
factory level”. However, it appears 
about the blackest glad since Oeganda 
and its color impels us to offer it.

5954 MARSHALL MONTGOMERY (Sal- 
man 748) (our 748 import release) M. 
A reedling of Mansoer and in every 
respect an improvement. Color is still 
warmer, shining, deep maroon red. 
Enormous florets, wide open, slightly 
ruffled and of pleasing form. 
Has a very velvety appearance.

454 MAURRIE TREVAN (Both) (our 
746 import release) LM. One of the 
darkest, if not the darkest, red in 
commerce. Color is substantially clean 
and very velvety. Spikes from bulb- 
lets and from No. 6 small bulbs have 
won in well filled classes including 
both large and giant size in big time 
shows. Bulblet production fairly good 
but not what would be termed prolific. 
Other habits all well above “satis- 
factory level.” Florets are round, close 
to giant size and the flowerheads are 
extremely long, holding many open. 
Award of Merit, Ohio Society, ’46. 
In rather short supply.

954 MENELIK (Salman ’50) (our 1950 
introduction) LM. Clean black red with 
rosy tinge blending deeper at base of 
petals. Blue toned purple line on ribs. 
Makes stupendous, magnificent long 
spikes. Medium bulbs make -spikes 
practically as big. The huge florets 
have thick petals that were undam- 
aged by a protracted soggy, water- 
soaking period. Propagation is 
medium, bulblets run small but ger- 
minate well. 
In spite of medium propagation and 
somewhat late blooming date, which 
have held its commercial rating to B, 
we do not hesitate in declaring our 
opinion that this is one of the world’s 
best 10 glads. 
In ’51 firsts at Ohio State, Ind. State, 
two at N.W. Ohio, one and section 
champ at Pa. State. 
Watch for it if you do not grow it.

554 MRS. R. G. ERREY (Errey) 747. M. 
Velvety red, very deep, faintly marked 
deeper. Some crooked stems in ex- 
tremely hot weather. Very tall. Too 
tall at times. 7-10 open on 20-25 bud 
spikes. Easy propagator. Two F.C.C. 
awards down under. Our first, East 
Liverpool, ’49. 
In 751, 2nd day champion, Ohio State. 
Twelve firsts reported by NAGC. In 
N.Z. in 30 shows, 14 firsts all of which 
were section or division champs and 
5 of which were grand champions (the 
most earned by any variety).
