SKIPPY 
Outstanding! A tall, heavily ruffled white with 
small pink blotch in throat. Florets up to 5 
inches, usually 6 open and many showing 
color. Spikes are wiry with a lot of cutting stem, 
just the type the florists like for their arrange- 
ment work. Skippy looks like an excellent 
commercial.

which florists liked so well. Manchu, informal, has rich coloring of 
gold and deep orange is very decorative. Mellow Moon produces 
excellent bulbs and grows very tall and is fine for cutting. New 
port White has proved to be an excellent glad for me. Together 
with Annamae they make two choice early commercial whites, and 
Mt. Index can be included with them. Rosy Future offers some- 
thing new in coloring. It is a clean rose color, probably nearer to 
magenta. 
Red Cherry an early red, and Red Wing, together with Royal 
Flush are three excellent reds. All are different, all good. Red Wing 
produces tall spikes with many open florets in formal placement. 
Royal Flush is a little darker in coloring but has excellent substance 
and is highly ruffled. Big Joe certainly produces the big spikes and 
exceptionally large florets. Color is clear and bright and it made 
some of the best bulbs in my garden this year. 
Skippy is artistic beauty in glads. Pure white florets with small 
rose throat and outstanding ruffling. Spikes tall and straight. It 
will certainly make a wonderful commercial. I rate Sterling as 
the best in its coloring. Spikes are very formal, perfectly straight 
and excellent for cutting. Velvet Mantle is a good commercial, 
dark red, tall, produces high crowned bulbs, blooms early. White 
Goddess had a wonderful year at the shows. It has nice ruffling 
and is a good cutitng white. 
Of course there are many others which I have not grown 
which are excellent glads and many which I have not grown 
enough of or long enough to pass critical judgment. It is also 
a known fact that all glads do not perform the same under various 
soils or climatic conditions and for this reason ratings by various 
growers often differ. Usually, though, a real top-notch glad, such 
as Spic and Span, will give excellent performance no matter 
where or by whom planted, and you will find that the above 
varieties are most dependable cut flowers whether high or low 
in price.
