‘‘FOR THE BEST IN GLADS’’ | 11 
DOLLY VARDEN (532) Herris ‘50 (85) 
This is good news! An improved Aladdin. Many of you remember 
Aladadin—a grand glad but a short grower. How often we have said 
or heard others say what a glad Aladdin would be if it only would 
grow a foot taller. Dolly Varden is very much like Aladdin in color, 
generous florescence anc makeup but unlike Aladdin grows tall. A 
real eye-opener dressed in salmon with a white throat. 
L. $1.25; M $1.00; S 75c; Blbts. 4-25c; 20-$1.00; 100-$3.50 
DONNA (416) Pruitt ‘40 (95) 
Nicely ruffled golden tuff. A tall husky grower. Makes a good cut- 
flower. Still rates highly among the new modern ruffled beauties. 
L 12c; M 2-15c; S 5-l5c; Blbts. pkg. 25c 
DUSTY MILLER (486) Elliott ‘45 (85) 
Bright and lively smoky old rose, mildly blotched red with cream 
penciling. Very popular in Canada and deserves more popularity here 
as it combines a very pleasing color on a tall spike with 8 open florets. 
L 12c: M 2-12c; S 5-15c; Blbts. pkg. 25c 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN (566) White ‘41 (86) 
Beautiful deep lavender with darker lines in throat. Beautifully 
ruffled and holding 7 to 8 blooms open. Needs plenty of water to be 
at its best. Cutflower growers are now buying this by the thousands. 
One of the most popular items in our list. ; 
L 12c:; M 2-12c; S 5-15c; Blbts. pkg. 25c 
ELMER’S ROSE (460) Fischer ‘51 (85) 
Elmer Gove fell in love with this glad in Carl Fischer’s seedling 
patch, hence its name. It is a heavily ruffled deep rose that holds up 
to 8 open with 22 buds. A truly beautiful variety that we think has 
a great exhibition and cutflower future.

EVANGELINE (540) Palmer °48 (92)

the best glad originated by Palmer since Picardy. Has won several 
championships. Holds 10 open on a 30-inch flower head with plant 
5 ft. tall. Produces average amount of bulblets that grow exceptionally 
well. Blooms sometimes not placed too well.

New ruffled glistening white, about as white as Maid of Orleans.

received the highest award in their Test Garden and number one 
rating in their 1948 symposium. Grows 68 inches tall, 21 buds, with 
8 or more 5% inch florets open. Good propagator. Many cutflower 
growers now rate this as the No. 1 white gladiolus.

FLYING FORTRESS (586) Wilson ‘43 (93)

them all beat. One spike is a bouquet in itself. |
