CLEO (Youmans ’48) 441 (M). Much admired by most garden visitors, 
altho we are forced to admit that there are a few people who do not care 
for the rather strong contrast presented by this variety. We like it. A 
light creamy pink with a very prominent altho not too brilliant blotch of a 
subdued shade of orange-vermillion. The medium-tall spikes hold esnore9 
large, nicely ruffled florets open at a time; sometimes more. In fact Cleo 
won the award for the most open florets at Binghamton last summer. A 
good propagator and germinator of bulblets which do not make very large 
growth the first year, usually. 
L .75, M.50, S.25, Bulblets 5—.25, 10—.40, 100—$3.00 
CLOTH OF GOLD (Briggs 49) 420 (EM). A bright orange with consid- 
erable yellow and golden tones in its makeup. Probably the closest ap- 
proach to a true golden-orange with the exception of Little Gold. A real 
eye-catcher in a vase or in the garden. Not a tall grower, altho it can be 
cut with a fair stem that is long enough for ordinary florist use. Worth 
growing for its color alone. A good increaser. 
L .25, M.20, S 2—.25, Bulblets 10—.20, 100—$1.50 
COACHMAN (Woods ’49) 430 (EM). This new medium pink glad makes 
a very impressive showing with up to 10 or 12 large flowers open and 
several buds in color. The stem below first flower is usually rather short 
however. Florets are about 5 inches in diameter, moderately ruffled and 
nicely placed. An attractive shade of light to medium salmon-pink, with 
practically no markings. A lovely flower for exhibiting and for the home 
garden that should find favor with all fanciers. 
L $2.00, M $1.25, S.75, Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.20 
COLOGNE (Roberts ’48) 342 (EM). A lightly scented variety that is 
more fragrant than its parent, Incense, altho its fragrance is more evident 
during the first few hours after the flowers open. The heat of midday and 
afternoon seems to dissipate most of the scent. It holds fairly well when 
cut and brought indoors, and it makes an attractive bouquet flower with 
5 or 6 florets of medium size open on tall slender spikes. A pleasing deep 
pink or light scarlet with small cream center. 
L .35, M .25, S 2—.25, Bulblets 10—.20, 100—$1.50 
COLONIAL DAME (Barrett ’49) 367 (M). An interesting and pretty 
mauve-lavender with a prominent central spot of light purple. Florets not 
large, about 4 inches, but it opens 10 or 12 at a time, making quite a 
ribbon of bloom. The foliage of this variety is often mottled, apparently 
from lack of chlorophyll. Has been healthy in plant and bulb during the 
two seasons we have grown. it. 
L $1.00, M.75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.75, 100—$6.00 
COLUMBIA (Roberts 751) 407 (M). See 1951 Introductions. 
COMPLEXION (Bastian ’49) 442-440 (EM). A lovely medium-light pink 
with round nicely ruffled florets that measure about 5 inches, with 7 open 
at once. The frilling and form of the flowers remind one of Spic & Span, 
altho the color is considerably lighter. In fact it is definitely a 440 (light 
pink) glad as it grows here. Good increase and bulblet germination. 
L $1.50, M $1.25, S $1.00, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.75, 100—$6.00 
“T was never so thrilled as with SUN SPOT and WHITE GODDESS. 
No matter who came to our place the first thing they saw were these glads 
and they had to ask what are the names of these. I also had a wonderful 
spike of RED CHERRY which came out when it was the hottest and driest 
part of the summer. From the large bulb of RED CHERRY I got 162 
bulblets.”’
