From JOHN BASTIAN 
RED VELVET (Bastian) A red of about the same color as Red Charm, save that Red 
Velvet has more sheen or sparkle, a more live color. I grew about a dozen bulbs of it 
this season and was impressed with its consistent tall spikes, with no tendency to crook. 
It is a medium early bloomer, season about 80 days. It grows to a maximum of 60 
inches with a flowerhead of 28 inches, carrying 18 to 20 buds and opening 6 to 8 wide 
florets. It is a good propagator and germinator. The bulbs grown from bulblets are 
high crowned like the old Commander Koehl and are dark red. Red Velvet stock 
permits a very moderate introductory price as follows: 
Priced: L $1.00; M $ .75; S $ .50; Blbts. $ .20 each; 10 for $1.60. 
From FRANK F. LUND, Cotati, California (Introducer’s Description) 
APRICOT ANGEL (L. C. Wright) A light apricot pink with ivory throat, ruffled and 
fluted. Flowerhead is about 25 inches, carrying 18 buds. Florets are about 5 inches in 
diameter. This is one of the most pleasing soft colors I have ever grown. Health is 
excellent; facing and spacing about perfect. 
Priced: $2.00 for any size bulb and with each bulb 10 selected bulblets may be pur- 
chased for $2.00. 
From GLADWIN GARDENS (introducer’s Description) 
GLADWIN (Kinyon) A soft pink with cream throat growing 48 inches tall and carrying 
a spike with a 22-inch flowerhead. The florets are 44% inches in diameter, opening 6 
with 8 in color, ruffled and fluted and marvelous for both exhibition and commercial. 
This one is a dream for beauty and you can depend on it. A large stock permits a low 
introductory price and does not refiect its true value. 
Priced: Any size bulb, $2.00; Blbts. $ .20 each; 6 for $1.00. 
The following releases of Canadian origin are co-introduced through the courtesy of 
the U. S. introducer, Bruce Collins, Utica, Mich. Al! descriptions are by the introducer. 
From JACK W. HARRIS, Sarnia, Ontario 
FORSYTHIA (Harris) Our premium bulb for 1951 and proven to be one of the finest 
yellows in commerce. Grows 55 inches tall, flowerhead of about 26 inches, carries 20 
buds, opening 8, five and one-half inch florets with 8 in color. It is ruffled, fluted 
stands heat and drouth well and was rated highly by all who grew it this year. It was 
one of the two seedlings in the giant class to be awarded a superior rating at Bingham- 
eral, “HL, 
Priced: Any size bulb for $2.00; Blbts. $ .35 each; 3 for $1.60, sold only with purchase 
of bulb. 
INDELIBLE (Harris) A bright purple growing tall in the field, carrying a 25-inch flower- 
head with 18 buds, 6 open and 6 in color. The 4-inch florets have excellent facing 
and spacing, also have good substance. It is a welcome addition to the purple class 
for either exhibition or commercial. 
Priced same as Forsythia. 
From WM. WARR, Verdun, Quebec 
EDITH WARR (Warr) The perfect pink gladiolus, simply huge, with 6'%-inch florets, 
opening 8 with 6 in color. Think of what this means in florescence. It is one of the 
strongest growing glads in the garden and perhaps the finest big pink gladiolus in 
existence. Many judges who saw it growing this summer pronounced it the finest pink 
in the 540 class. The foliage is good, the stem strong, and the tremendous flowerhead 
simply bowls you over. This glad should be introduced at $5.00, but because we want 
you to see it and grow a grand champion with it, Mr. Warr said to price it reasonably, 
as follows: 
Priced: $3.00 for any size bulb; Blbts. $ .35 each; 3 for $1.00.
