COL. W. G. ATKINSON (L466 Williams 51) This highly publicized new one performed well here 
and looks promising for both exhibition and commercial use. The 5” florets are a rosy lavender shading 
lighter in the throat and with a deeper lavender throat line. Grows 55” tall with 18-19 buds on a 25” 
head and 8 open. Placement is good and the stem longer than most layenders, making it an easy variety 
to cut.

COLUMBIA (M 407 Roberts 51) Definitely one of the top 1951 introductions. The florets are a lav- 
ender rose at the edges, shading to a creamy white, with a small cream throat. Looks very much like 
Corona, but we consider it a more beautiful improvement. Grows 50”-55” tall with 18-21 buds on a 
24”-27" head and 6-7 lightly ruffled florets of heavy substance. Attachment is excellent, stems straight 
and strong, and it is a fine propagator. Opens beautifully to the tip and should be a fine commercial 
as well as a frequent show winne:. Won 3 blue ribbons for us this year. Spike pictured on page 7.

COTILLION (EM 443 Butt 48) This strikingly attractive glad is fine for exhibition use. The 5”-5!4” 
deep pink florets have a clear cream throat which is very effective. Spikes are 55”-60” tall with 8-10 
open of 20 buds on a 27” head. A good spike is a real eye-catcher. 
Large $.25 Medium 2-§.30 Small 3-$.25 Bulblets 10-$.20 
CROWN JEWEL (EM 461 Fischer 51) Very pretty light rose shading to a cream throat with a deep 
rose blotch. The long graceful spikes grow 59” tall with 16-18 buds on a 24”-26"” head and 6-8 beautt- 
fully ruffled 434” florets open. The blotched varieties have become quite popular in recent years and 
we believe that this fine cut flower glad will be a favorite of many.

DOLLY VARDEN (LM 532 Harris 50) This is one of our favorites. The spikes are husky and the 
florets strikingly beautiful due to their size, clear color and attractive form. Grows 58”-60” tall with 
17-18 buds on a 28"-31” head and 6 open. The 6” florets are deep salmon pink with a large cream 
throat. Definitely an improved Aladdin. A fine show glad.

ELMER’S ROSE (M 460 Fischer 51) This medium rose was rated as one of the top 1951 introductions. 
While it is a sister seedling of Noweta Rose, it is very different. The 5” ruffled florets are a clean medium 
rose with a deeper blotch and are very attractive. The tall, strong spikes carry 7-8 open in fine formal 
placement. In its first year it has proved to be an excellent show glad, having won a number of blue 
ribbons and sectional championships.

EVOLUTION (M 466 Franklin, Aus. 48-51) Last year we called this the most different and striking 
variety we grew — and promptly sold out our limited stock. The stock is again too small to last 
long. Spikes are tall and strong with 6 5” florets open in good placement. The color is a deep lavender 
rose finely streaked on a white base.

FALCON (M 567 Woods 49) We made a mistake in not growing this until last summer. [ts striking 
florets and fine spikes make it one of the top glads. The 6!” florets are a medium rosy lavender with 
a large cream yellow throat and a medium rose blotch. Grows 55."-60” tall with 18-20 buds on a 24-26” 
head and 7 open. The florets look a great deal like orchids.

FIRE GLEAM (E 436 Jack 49) One of the first topnotch varieties to bloom each year. Many of the 
early ones are of value primarily because of their earliness, but this bright and attractive light scarlet 
with a white throat line would be one of the best at any time. Grows 62” tall with 20 buds on a 27"-29” 
head and 8 ruffled 514” florets open. 
Large $.25 Medium 2-$.30 Bulblets 12-$.25 
FRIENDSHIP (E 440 Fischer 49) This lovely medium pink with a cream blotch is an outstanding 
commercial among the newer ones and is possibly Carl Fischer’s best. Its earliness, long flowerhead 
and beauty make it the best early pink we have found. Opens 7 ruffled 414"-5” florets on a flowerhead 
up to 30” in length. 
Large $.25 Medium 2-$.25 Small 3-$.25 Bulblets  15-$.25 
GIANT CYCLAMEN (M 560 Higgins, Aus. 45-49) The large cyclamen or light rose florets with a 
deep rosy blotch are quite similar to Miss Wisconsin, though somewhat larger. Grows 55” tall with 
20 buds on a 25"-27” flowerhead and 6-7 5!4" florets open. A very reliable grower that should do well 
here for commercial and show use.
