COLOR CLASS COMMENT 
(Limited to varieties grown in our field.) 
WHITE—00 
You won't find many whites that will open 8 to 10 florets of double row placement on long 
flower-heads. ATHENE will do it! FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE produces those nice tall spikes 
that we all like to see. FREEDOM has never failed to give us a good spike. LADY EVE with 
its bright red blotch is an almost sure winner in the 301 class. Late blooming RELIANT does 
about as well from small bulbs as from large ones. We had spikes of SILVER COURT with 
6 inch florets this past summer which would place it in the 500 class. Many fine spikes of 
SILVER WINGS were seen at the shows again this year and it's a regular winner. SPINDRIFT 
is an exceptionally fine variety. Winner of many awards, it will thrill you with its long, heavy 
spikes. SUMMER SNOW is a swell variety in the 300 class. It cuts and bunches so easily. 
WHITE CHALLENGE has such a delightful color contrast. It can take care of itself on the 
show table. The cooler weather this summer must have been made to order for WHITE 
CHRISTMAS as it showed a great improvement over past performances. WHITE GODDESS 
is such an easy grower and a nice cutter. All in all the whites outdid themselves this year 
and it’s not often that good spikes of white Glads go begging on the market. 
CREAM—06 
CONNIE "G'’—my what a gorgeous flower! It has so much "Life”’ to it! I’ve seen some 
good spikes of LA BELLE but it hasn't been too good for us. There is something magic about 
LA VALLE. I haven't noied a fault with it but of course one is bound to show up—as they 
always do. SALMAN’S GLORY is very showy. You just can’t miss seeing SPARKS; it won't 
let you pass it by. 
LIGHT YELLOW—10 
KEEPSAKE is a very pleasing shade of yellow. KATHY LEE is beautifully ruffled. For a 
refreshing shade of clear lemon yellow GOLDEN ARROW takes the honors. It’s another variety 
that does practically as well from small bulbs as larger ones. GENE is strictly a commercial 
and a good early one. If you are looking for a tall growing light yellow don't pass up CYNTHIA. 
DEEP YELLOW—12 
The rich distinctive color of Gold is something to write home about! While I would class it 
more of a commercial than a show flower, it does possess a fine show record, especially since 
it’s only been exhibited one season. Its wonderful color never fails to attract attention. Not 
all spikes of GOLDEN STATE are good but it is a nice late yellow. The gay colors of 
PERDITA bring forth favorable comment. It’s a heavy winner in the 312 class. 
BUFF—16 
BUTTERSCOTCH is very popular and its shades of buff and peach blend nicely. A first class 
performer this year was GOLD MEDAL although stronger attachment would be desired. When 
conditions are to its liking, KAWATIRI will really surprise you. Colorful PACTOLUS is nicely 
ruffled and formal. Another fine formal variety is PATROL. SUNLIGHT is just that—bright and 
cheerful. If you haven't grown SUN SPOT you've really missed something! With the price 
down this year more folks will have a chance to grow this grand variety! It has a wonderful 
show record. Most everyone likes WILMA DITTMAN. It is such an easy grower, exceptionally 
strong and vigorous. 
LIGHT ORANGE—20 
OCTOBER SUNSHINE has almost fool-proof growing habits. It goes right along producing 
fine spikes whether it’s hot or cool, wet or dry. From a distance you'll notice those tall 
slender spikes of MELLOW MOON swaying in the breeze. Closer inspection will disclose that 
nice smooth light orange color. GLOW comes on early and blooms out fast. Some like DAISY 
MAE and some don’t but it is a good consistent grower. 
DEEP ORANGE—22 
One of the most charming is BETTY DUNCAN. Its wonderfully clear colors place it in the 
select class. TROCADERO'’S color is different from other orange varieties. It’s attractive 
and a good grower too.
