RED ORANGE—24 
Although it will fade in the hot sun, CHIEF PONTIAC is well worth while. It's the tallest and 
strongest growing of any orange we have tried. LARIME, more on the red side of orange, 
censistently gives good spikes. 
LIGHT SALMON—30 
A good spike of COACHMAN is really something! If you like extremely ruffled Glads keep 
an eye on GORGEOUS DEB. A friend in Illinois who tries out practically all the new ones 
reports that GORGEOUS DEB was about the most outstanding variety he saw this year. One 
of the most beautiful and perfectly balanced spikes that I have ever seen was the one of 
LADY WAYNE that was Grand Champion at Champaign, Illinois this year. Of course it doesn't 
produce all spikes like that but it is capable of giving you a thrill. If you like them big 
and yet with a nice color combination, MAXA will more than please you. It's such an easy 
grower, too. 
DEEP SALMON—32 
Those who like blotched varieties will find nothing more colorful than BOLDFACE. It can 
produce remarkable spikes as evidenced by the spike that was Grand Champion at the Indiana 
state show this past summer. Some people mistake GENGHIS KHAN for Spic & Span. 
GENGHIS KHAN doesn’t grow as tall and doesn't open as many but it’s a mighty fine variety 
and an excellent commercial. HIHO is tall and graceful and a beauty. JINNI MARIE will 
certainly open well enough. SUPREME BEAUTY looked fine from one year’s growing. 
SCARLET—36 
CHEYENNE is a showy scarlet with good growing qualities. Almost everyone knows DIEPPE 
is good but in case you don't grow it, it's a fine color and good grower. FIRE GLEAM gave us 
wonderful spikes this year. I saw HAROLD K growing in Dr. Knight's seedling patch several 
years ago and remembered to buy stock when it was introduced last year. The most improved 
scarlet in our field this year was HIAWATHA. Florets were perfectly placed in a double row 
on fine spikes. If MOUNTAIN GEM would open more than six it would take honors regularly. 
It's a beautiful shade of scarlet. A grower in New York writes ‘RED CHERRY is the best 
early red I have ever grown." We agree with him and highly recommend it to the. cut- 
flower grower. RED WING, widely publicized, has more than lived up to its reputation in our 
field. I have never seen such strong, rugged growth from small bulbs. Growers who are 
fortunate to have a good stock of this should realize a nice return on their investment when 
the price comes down to the commercial cut-flower range. REGAL RED is a massive grower 
and produces extremely vigorous bulblet plants. 
LIGHT PINK—40 
Probably the strongest class and the class with the most competition at the shows. 
The superb spikes of CLARENCE D. FORTNAM that I have seen at the shows and in our field 
give every indication that it will be around for a long, long time. Its impressive show record 
should increase rapidly when the stock is more widely distributed. In a lower price range, 
CONNECTICUT YANKEE continues to be a strong contender. The spikes of COONEY MISS 
that we grew would place it in the strictly commercial class. It will stand very rough handling. 
DEBORAH SAMPSON isn't exciting but it consistently makes No. 1 spikes. FRIENDSHIP gives 
us such charmingly ruffled florets. HEART'S DESIRE is one of our favorites. The beautiful 
pastel coloring and wide open florets of heavy substance are gorgeous. What a Glad for 
florist use! The performance of JUNE DAY was varied this past summer. Some spikes were 
up to their usual standard and then some were not. One of the nicest pinks to bloom for us 
was MY DEAR. The color is so refreshing. SEASHELL is such a refined, soft shade of pink. 
It's very popular too! If you like Tivoli I am sure you'll like SKYWAY as they are similar 
in color. But SKYWAY blooms early and is a good one for the early market. SWEET SIX 
TEEN has the fine attributes of Beauty's Blush plus more color in its makeup. It’s such a 
delightful shade of soft pink. TREASURE ISLAND, with a touch of rose, is such a cool, clear 
color. We've had spikes of YANKEE CLIPPER that hardly could be improved upon. Those 
fluted florets of double row placement were so perfectly arranged as to form a model spike. 
No, they all won't grow like that but a good percentage of them did. YANKEE LASS makes 
a vigorous growing, broad leaf plant. Opening 8 to 10 it will bear watching on the show table.
