BRIDAL ORCHID (566) Carlson ‘50 
A very strong growing pastel lavender of huge size. 
It will open up to 10 ruffled florets on long flower- 
heads of up to 24 buds. Grows very tall and will 
open to the tip when cut in tight bud. Good propa- 
gator and bulblets make vigorous growth. Does 
exceptionally well from small bulbs and bulblets 
produce salable spikes. With the exception of a 
few spikes out of several hundred from both bulbs 
and bulblets the color was clear although I have 
heard some reports of color variation. Winner of 
three American Home Achievement awards last year, 
it is a strong contender for high honors. Should 
make a very fine commercial. Grand Champion at 
LeRoy, Illinois show this year (1950). 
BURMA (562) Palmer *43 (88) 
Almost too well known to require comment, Burma 
is one of the most popular Glads ever introduced. 
Opens up to 8 deep reddish rose, heavily ruffled 
florets of firm substance. Fine spikes of Burma were 
much in evidence again at this year’s shows. 
BUTTERSCOTCH (517) Langworthy ‘48 (90) 
A strong, tall growing salmon and buff blending into 
a blotch of rose salmon. Opens up to 8 ruffled 
florets on a well balanced spike. Fine growing 
habits. A ‘Best Seller’ last year. 
CHERRY JAM (543) Zimmer ‘43 (80) 
A blotched variety of a rather sharp color combina- 
tion. Salmon pink with a deep cherry blotch. It 
opens up to 8 on a medium height spike. Excellent 
grower from bulblets. 
CHEYENNE (536) Wilson ‘48 (80) 
A fine ruffled scarlet that opens up to 10 large 
florets of good texture on a nice spike. Healthy, 
dark green foliage; excellent propagator and grower 
from bulblets. Has the makings of a good com- 
mercial. Vigorous grower. 
CHIEF PONTIAC (524) Snyder “48 (85) 
The Chief is a big fellow, make no mistake about 
that. Chief Pontiac grew better than 6 feet tall in 
the field this year and even small bulbs produced 
giant spikes. It opens up to 7 on a long flower- 
head. Excellent propagator and grower from bulb- 
lets. Makes beautiful bulbs. Like most oranges, it 
is difficult to hold in cold storage. Also color will 
peel in adverse weather conditions. 
CITATION (542) Beaton “49 (95) 
Another very tall robust grower. Opens up to U 
florets of a medium shade of pink blending into a 
creamy white throat. Good increaser and excellent 
grower from bulblets.
