QUIBERON (Errey ’49) 416 (M). Here is an outstanding prospect in 
the popular buff class that will give Sun Spot and Patrol some real compe- 
tition. Its only fault seems to be that a percentage of spikes may crook 
in real hot weather. Color is an attractive salmon-buff, a little deeper 
at petal edges, with a creamy yellow center. 8 to 10 five-inch florets are 
open at once on extra tall spikes, long stretchy flowerheads. Quiberon was 
Grand Champ at Peekskill, N. Y., last summer. We predict that it will 
win many more high show awards. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .50, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
RAVEL (K & M, Holland ’47) 477 (E). One of the best blues to date; 
healthier and more vigorous than many others in this color. A clear med- 
ium blue with fairly prominent reddish-violet spears in the throat. Makes 
nice, tall, straight spikes, and opens 6 or 7 flowers at once. Best in its 
color in N.A.G.C. symposium. 
L .20, M 2—.20, S 4—.20, Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.90 
RED CHERRY (Roberts ’46) 436 (VE-E). Our fine scarlet-red that has 
gained top commercial rating in this color by growers everywhere. Hard 
to find any fault with this variety; a very consistent grower and producer 
of excellent spikes. Propagation, germination and bulblet growth are sec- 
ond to none. When moved from the 450 to the 486 class, we anticipated 
Red Cherry would have tough going at the shows, with competition from 
such grand glads as Red Wing, Dieppe, etc. However it came thru to take 
blue ribbons at several shows over these and other fine scarlets, plus 
sectional championships in at least two shows. A bright glowing shade 
of scarlet red, with a round, cherry-red spot in the throat. About the ear- 
liest good red. 
L .35, M .25, S 2—.25, Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00 
REDOWA (Butt °48) 552 (E-EM). Another good red that blooms fairly 
early, altho some later than Red Cherry; also a little deeper shade of red, 
with dark red lines on lip petals. Grows very tall with extra long flower- 
heads. About 7 huge well placed florets open at.a time; attachment fair 
to good. A big, showy red that we like very much. 
L .50, M .35, S.20, Bulblets 10—.30, 100—$2.40 
RED WING (Wright ’48) 436 (M). This fine variety will remain for 
many years a fitting and worthy memorial to Howard Wright, who passed 
away last fall. Mr. Wright raised a great many seedlings, several of which 
might have been named and introduced by one less discriminating. Red 
Wing was the only one he considered good enough to place on the market. 
Red Wing is a lovely light scarlet with deep scarlet lip. The ruffled florets 
are of good size (about 5 inches) and are well arranged on excellent flower- 
heads; stem below first flower could be a little longer altho not really 
short. One of our favorites. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .50, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00 
REGAL RED (Fischer ’49) 536 (ML). A huge red with white lines radi- 
ating from the throat. Admired by many visitors to our garden, altho to 
us it seems a little coarse; hardly up to the standard of beauty set by 
most Carl Fischer originations. A very fast propagator. Burns in hot 
sunlight. 
L .25, M .20, S 2—.25, Bulblets 20—.25, 160—31.00 
RETTA JO (Farrington ’50) 410 (EM). Mr. Farrington, who has been 
breeding for yellows for many years, has some fine varieties and seedlings 
in this color. We have grown many of them, and we believe this to be one 
of his best. Beautiful color, lovely ruffling, and heavy substance are some 
of the attributes of Retta Jo. We did notice a few, not many, crooked 
stems in 1950’s very ‘‘crooky” season; the majority were straight and per- 
fect. Really a beautiful glad, and one of our three or four favorite yellows. 
L .75, M.50, S .35, Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.90 
“Of all the fine seedlings we saw in your garden this summer, I was 
especially struck by that exquisite Corona-type seedling (COLUMBIA).”
