Summer Snow **** lait 
(85 days) (Angelica X eniene x Incense)) Here 
is the whitest glad we have ever seen—a virginal, 
glacial white, immaculately snowy even to the throat 
and stamens. Summer Snow produces the most uni- 
form, spire-like flowerheads imaginable, each with 7-9 
lacily ruffled, shapely blooms open at one time. An 
outstanding show-winner and a florist’s favorite. Won 
12 firsts at the 1950 glad shows.

Sunday Best J SO IRB (Gi GENE) 
Light rose-pink paling to a throat of white and cream. 
Reminds one of Corona but has more color. This 
seemed a little soft in substance but the color was 
indeed a captivating blend of pastel tones. Some very 
lovely spikes of Sunday Best were in evidence at the 
shows last summer. Failed to do its best for us. As 
it grew for us classification number would be 460.

Sunlight e@ e e days) (Margaret Fulton x 
Hercules) This waxy orange-pink or deep-buff is a 
plain-petalled variety of heavy substance and hearty 
constitution. Opens 5-6 luminous round florets of un- 
usually glossy texture. Sunlight is one of the best of 
the deep-buff or light orange varieties. Pictured on 
pages 8 and 32. (L 1-.20; 10-1.50) (M 2-.30; 10-1.00)

Tarawa ~“*** (436) (Palmer, 1946) (80 
OUD days) (Regent x Corona) 
This ornate, sun-drenched scarlet is a_ sensational 
spike-maker, as evidenced by our picture on page 41. 
A distinct thumb-print of velvety crimson, bisected by 
a white line, lends a flattering accent to every lux- 
urious floret. Tarawa’s length is in the flowerhead 
rather than in the “handle”. A scarlet to gloat over, 
to revel in! (L 1-.25; 10-2.00) (M 1-.20; 10-1.50)

The Roan ~ ° days) In general effect, 
or as seen at a distance, this odd glad is a light red. 
Upon closer inspection it is found to be a deep red 
covered with white lines. The florets possess excellent 
substance and a lavishly beautiful broad-petalled form 
complete with ruffling and “knuckles” in the throat. 
The Roan is not only a curious novelty, but truly quite 
a beautiful glad. (LL, 1-.25; 10-2.00) (M 2-.25; 10-1.00)

Tivoli e e @ e days) It’s such a pleasure to 
find a glad that can be given maximum rating without 
a qualm or quiver of hesitation! Such a glad is Tivoli! 
We cut truck-loads of show spikes of this last summer 
—every spike with 7-9 open—uncrowded and stretchy, 
with never a misplaced floret seen all summer. What 
a glad! If only all varieties would perform like Tivoli! 
The color is a perfectly halcyon shade of light pure- 
pink with a hint of creaminess in the throat, yet almost 
a self. I don’t think it will create much dissension if 
I call Tivoli one of the “dozen best” glads. We believe 
the correct color classification is 440. Pictured on page

Topflite **=~ (6% (La Salle, 1946) (90

talline rose-pink with a small cream throat is a very 
finished flower but a poor bulb-maker. A connois- 
seur’s favorite which deserves inclusion in your trial 
list. (L 1-.75; 10-6.00) CM 1-.50; 10-4.00)

Trail S End e e e (85 days) This glad 
might be described as a larger Betty’s Choice. Trail’s 
End is a true Neyron rose with yellow throat. Not 
entirely free from flecking yet a color so rare that one 
can’t help but be grateful for Trail’s End. Our pic- 
ture, on page 32, does not show Trail’s End rosy 
enough. (L 1-1.50) (M 1-1.00) (S 1-.50)

salmon-pink opens six or more round blooms on mas- 
sive flowerheads. Not an especially distinctive glad 
but one of those easy growers we all appreciate. Pic- 
tured on page 32.

True Love @ e e days) (Picardy x Hel- 
ena) This comely early light pink is loved for its 
bland, delectable color and quiet charm. Not a sensa- 
tional variety but one which wears well. Very beau- 
tiful for window decoration with the light streaming 
through its luminous, waxy petals.

Twinkles ee days) (Harlequin x 
Crinklette) This provocative little pixie has unusual 
value for sophisticated arrangements. Its yellow and 
bittersweet-orange blend reminds one of Brightside, 
but its crimping and needlepointing are much more 
intense. A gem of an “arrangement glad.”
