GARDEN GOLD (Rich ’48) 512 (M). One of the very best yellows ever 
originated, in our opinion. Also one of the largest. A lovely clear yellow, 
fairly deep, shading to a golden yellow throat. The 7 or 8 open florets are 
very large for a yellow (5% inches or more), nicely frilled, round and wide 
open. A tall strong grower; fairly good propagator. Extra good. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.00, Bulblets .20, 10—$1.50 
GARNET GLOW (Rich ’50) 454 (EM). Not a large flower, but one of 
rare beauty. A handsome deep maroon or garnet red, smooth and rich 
without a trace of any foreign color. The 4-4% inch florets are beautifully 
ruffled, with about 6 open at a time. Substance is very good, and it seems 
to withstand the heat unusually well. A fine color with a live, sparkling 
sheen that is lacking in so many of the black-reds. 
L $3.00, M $2.00, S $1.00, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00 
GENE (Farrington ’49) 310 (E). A very attractive variety with perhaps 
the most frilled and ruffled florets of any yellow. A fine grower, making 
tall rangy plants and spikes. Color is a very smooth light yellow. Its only 
fault seems to be a little wider spacing of the medium sized flowers than 
might be desired; particularly noticeable when plants have been fed or 
watered heavily. An easy grower and a fine increaser. Its 1950 winnings 
include Reserve Champion at Oklahoma; Best Recent Introduction, Min- 
nesota; and Color Champion, Tri-State show.

GEN. EISENHOWER (Salman, Holland ’48) 542 (M). One of the better 
recent Dutch glads, with better color than most. Medium salmon pink 
with a slight rosy hue; faint Picardy-type throat brushing. 7-9 large, broad- 
petaled florets are open on tall spikes. 
M 2—.20, S 4—.20, Bulblets 40—.25, 100—.50 
GORGEOUS DEB (Wilson ’48) 530 (M). This extravagantly ruffled vari- 
ety is undoubtedly George Wilson’s masterpiece. The large florets appear 
to be corrugated or pleated, so heavy is the petal ruffling. A gorgeous color 
blend; a lovely light orange-salmon with a bright yellow throat. Has been 
called the most beautiful of all glads; a much improved Victory Queen. 
Opens 8 of 19 buds. Don’t let another season go by without having a bulb 
or two of Gorgeous Deb in your garden. A good propagator of large bulb- 
lets. 
L $2.00, M $1.25, S.75, Bulblets 2—.20, 10—.80, 100—$5.00 
GRAY SUMMIT (Butt ’50) 486 (EM). About the closest approach so far 
to a real gray shade in glads, Gray Summit has practically none of the 
lavender tones found in most varieties in this class, and actually little 
smokiness, altho it has to be so classified. The ground color of clear medium 
gray shades to a pure white center. Opens 7 or 8 good sized florets on nice 
spikes. This variety made a good record at shows and in test gardens as 
a seedling, and we expect almost everyone will like it. 
L .50, M .35, S .20, Bulblets 8—.25 
GWEN (Pickell ’49) 560-460 (E). A very nice rose pink shading to creamy- 
white at outer petal edges, throat softly marked deeper rose. This is an- 
other supposedly fragrant glad, but not too many of our garden visitors 
were able to detect any scent. Very worthwhile growing for the flower 
itself, however. Rather similar to Diadem except in the throat marking; 
probably a more reliable grower than the latter. Hardly a 500-size glad 
with us, florets usually measuring 5 inches or a little less. A tall grower 
with 7 lightly frilled florets open at a time on flowerheads that vary from 
medium to long. A fairly good increaser. Gwen won best 3-spike award 
at the Algona, Iowa, show last summer. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.00, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00 
“At 6:30 this morning there was SEASHELL looking over the back 
fence. 5% feet tall, 5 open with 3 partly open, florets larger than my hand. 
The name SEASHELL is exactly to the point.” L.L.C., Missouri
