LANCASTER 470 (Palmer ’44) A large exhibition mid-season clear dark purple with 8 to 
10 lightly waved and ruffled blooms open on a tall straight spike. Plants frequently 
attain a height of 5 feet. Next to the newer King David, probably the finest of all the 
purples. 
L 2 for .20; M 2 for .15; S 4 for .20; Blbts. 100 for .25 
LaVALLE 507 (Lines °49) Beautiful rich ruffled light cream with small orange throat 
marks. Opens 8 or more 54-inch florets on a long spike, always straight. Bulblet 
production and germination are good. 
L $1.25; M $1.00; S .75; Blbts. 2 for .25; 10 for $1.00 
LAVENDER BEAUTY 466 (Kolb ’50) A little known variety to date but one that merits 
attention. A clear light lavender pink, nicely ruffled and very attractive. Should make 
a fine cut-flower variety. 
L $1.00; M .75; S .40; Blbts. 2 for .20; 10 for .75 
LAVENDER LACE 460 (Fischer) A glad reminiscent of the era of lavender and old lace. 
Similar in size, height and color to Elizabeth The Queen but possessing a pure throat. 
A lavender as beautiful as the smaller size Wedgwood but in the 400 class. 
L .50; M .35; S .25; Blbts. 10 for .20; 100 for .75 
LEADING LADY 506 (Johnston ’42) Little needs to be said for this cream white sport of 
Picardy, for it has held the spotlight ever since introduced. Spike, flower and habits 
identical with Picardy, an occasional pink streak in petals being best proof it is a true 
sport. Color creamy white, enough so that florists accept it as white. One can grow 
show spikes from small bulbs. If I were limited to growing one glad, Leading Lady 
would be my choice. My strain continues to produce tall spikes. 
L 10 for .70; M 10 for .50; S 10 for .30; Blbts. 100 for .25 
LEAH GORMAN 450 (Gorman 751) A clear light red with a clean white throat, very 
striking and attractive. One of the most consistent producer of good spikes among 
the reds. Florets are lightly ruffled and of medium heavy substance. Does well from 
medium and the small sizes of bulbs. Good propagator and germinator. 
L .75; M .50; S .30; Blbts. 3 for .20; 10 for .50 
LILA WALLACE 462 (Fairchild ’47) Ruffled clear deep rose, somewhat similar to Burma 
in color, but smaller. Beautifully ruffled and fluted with several blooms open on a 
tall plant. If you have been waiting to grow Lila Wallace, this is the year. 
L $1.00; M $1.00; S $1.00; Blbts. 2 for .25; 10 for $1.00 
LITTLE GOLD 212 (Fischer 50) A favorite with all who can see beauty in the smaller 
size glads. Color is almost identical te that of Golden Poppy but it has heavier sub- 
stance and is richly ruffled. Beautiful in arrangements and will be in much demand 
as a cut-flower. Excellent propagator. 
L .25; M 2 for .25; S 4 for .25; Blbts. 10 for .25; 100 for $1.00 
LODESTAR 412 (Palmer ’50) Very beautiful medium yellow shading to deeper lip. It is 
of medium height and carries well attached buds, opening 5 to 7. Good propagator, fine 
cut-flower variety and stands heat well. 
L $1.00; M .75; S .50; Blbts. 2 for .25; 10 for $1.00 
MARATHON 411 (Lawrenson ’51) Butterscotch yellow with a small reddish throat mark, not 
as prominent as in Spotlight. Originator claims it opens and ships as well as Picardy; 
if so, it will be valuable for Florida growing. Performance in first year of growing 
was satisfactory; color, however, was not just as expected, more buff than yellow. 
L $1.00; M .75; S .50; Blbts. 4 for .25; 10 for .50; 100 for $4.00 
MARGARET JEAN 520 (Ogilvie 50) A 70-day, 542-inch orange, claimed by the originator 
to be the finest orange to date Plant grows 56 inches tall and produces a spike carry- 
ing a 30-inch flowerhead with 18 to 20 buds. An American Home Achievement winner 
at Montreal, 1949. 
L $1.00; M .75; S .50; Blbts. 2 for .25; 10 for $1.00 
MID AMERICA 550 (Evans-Knierim ’47) The giant unmarked light red that has been an 
exhibition sensation. Round smooth florets, 7 inches in diameter, are well attached to 
tall growing spikes. It is the most vigorous of growers; small bulbs and bulblets can 
produce good representative spikes.
