Variety 
AUGUST MOON (Rich-’49) 510-80-85 
(Sdl. 1141) 
If you want a big, slightly frilled, light yellow 
glad, here it is. A sensation in the garden and 
on the show table. Petals are of nice heavy 
texture, facing and spacing very good. We had 
nice straight spikes which were strong and 
wiry. Foliage is very green and stands up- 
right. Propagation and germination of bulb- 
lets is fair. Looks like a variety the florists 
will love. Has been grown up to 60” tall, 26” 
to 28” flowerhead, 6% inch florets, up to 15 
buds, 6 open. 
AUTUMN LEAF (Howell-’49) 580-85 
Bright clean yellow and brown smoky. Edges 
of petals suffused plum shading to reddish 
brown, blending to large cream yellow throat, 
midribs are creamy yellow. Very attractive. 
Opens 7-8 6” florets on 18 bud spike. Tall 
grower and medium propagator. Slightly ruf- 
fled with excellent placement. 
BELLE JAUNE (K & M-’48) 312-85 
Medium yellow, solid self color without any 
markings. Florets slightly ruffled. Will open 6 
at one time. Very early. A fine commercial for 
the early market. 
BENJAMIN BRITTEN (K & M-’49) 366-80 
One of the best of the new Holland introduc- 
tions. This variety did especially well here this 
season. A very deep lavender with white stripe. 
An unusual shade and one we need. Very beau- 
tiful. Created much comment from visitors at 
our gardens this year, also at the shows. 
BIRCH RED (Rich-’45) 552-90 
A sparkling pure deep red that delights all 
who see it. Growing habits very good. A sure 
show winner. 
BLACK CHERRY (Rich-’48) 554-85 
One of the best in the Black Red class. This is 
one dark variety that doesn’t burn in hot 
weather. Will grow 50” or more tall, with 24” 
flowerhead and 6” blooms, 19 to 20 buds, open- 
ing 9 in the field. The color is identical to that 
of a ripe black sweet cherry. A healthy grower, 
a good propagator and germinator. The large 
bulbs don’t have as many bulblets as some 
varieties, but the young stock has plenty. 
Florets are of good texture, slightly wavy, 
well attached, and are slightly overlapping to 
make a beautiful exhibition spike. 
“Just finished digging the glad bulbs that we purchased from you last spring. 
fine blooms all summer, in spite of dry weather at blooming time. 
Thanks for the generous overcount and extra varieties you sent 
Mrs. C.H.1., Elysburg, Pa.
