LEAH GORHAM (M 451 Gorham-Larus 51) Last year when we introduced it, this variety was 
virtually unknown. Although it had received an approval from the NAGC Trial Gardens, few growers 
had ever seen it. With the aid of a low price, we obtained good distribution and have been very ‘pleased 
to receive many enthusiastic reports on it. At the shows it won a good number of blue ribbons and 
was formal Recent Introduction Champion at Boston. While it seems to be an easy winner at the shows, 
probably its greatest value will be as a commercial due to the outstanding color and its ability to 
consistently produce fine spikes. The 5” florets are a clean light red with a striking and attractive 
white blotch. They are strongly attached to a 26”-30" ernest with 18-22 baie Grows 55”-65” 
tall and does not crook. Propagation i is good and it is an easy grower. Spikes from medium bulbs are 
on a par with those from large. In the 1951 NAGC Symposium it rated second in the light red class 
and along with Blue Devil was one of the 5 highest scoring 1951 introductions. See picture on cover.

MAJESTIC (LM 524 Rowse, Aus. 45-49) A tremendous grower; one of the huskiest we have ever 
grown. Spikes are 65”-70" tall with 19-21 buds on a 30-34” flowerhead and 6 light searlet 6” or larger 
florets open. If it would hold the bottom floret open a little longer it would be one of the greatest 
show winners. A very good glad which your neighbors will find very impressive.

MAPLE LEAF (EM 590 Pletcher 46) Rosy brown with a pale scarlet orange blotch on a cream back- 
cround. Grows 60-65” tall with 16-17 buds on a 28”-30" head and 6-8 6” florets open. A fine show 
glad that is probably tops in the A.O.C. class. 
Large = $.35 Medium — $.25 Small $.20 Bulblets  15-$.25 
MOTHER FISCHER (M 400 Fischer 51) A very pretty ruffled creamy white that seems to be one of 
Carl Fischer’s best introductions. During the two years that it has been in our garden it has been 
quite impressive. The substance and attachment are excellent. Spikes are 55”-60" tall with 20 buds 
on a 27” head and 8 5” florets open. One of the few whites which are beautiful and also reliable growers. 
Has done very well at the shows and looks like an excellent commercial prospect. 
Large $1.00 Medium 5 Small $.50 Bulblets 2-$.25 
NELLIE 1 LOU (M 542 Lines 49) A very tall grower that we have seen grown with a 40” head. The 
6” florets are a clear medium pink with a strawberry throat. Its ability to open 7-9 large florets on a 
big spike makes it a good show glad. Not a heavy enough propagator for most commercial uses. 
Large $1.25 Medium $1.00 Small $.75 Bulblets  3-$.25, 15-$1.00 
NEW YORK (EM 562 Salman 49-51) A fine clear medium red, a little on the rose side, that has been 
recommended highly as one of the best from Europe. Grows 60” tall with long flowerheads and 8 
large florets open. A nice easy grower that consistently produces good spikes. The attachment could 
be a little better but the variety is still a fine show glad. Rated eecond a in the deep rose class in the 
NAGC Symposium. 
Large 3.50 Medium — $.35 Bulblets —15-$.25 
NOWETA ROSE (M 566 Fischer 50) One of the finest show varieties ever introduced and certainly 
one of our heaviest winners. The 519" florets are rose lavender with a small deeper rose blotch. Grows 
60” tall with 21-23 buds on a 25"-28" flowerhead. The outstanding feature of this glad is ability to 
regularly open 8-11 in excellent double placement. Its top rating in the NAGC Symposium is well 
deserved.

PASTELINE (L 540 Kolb 49) Until last year we had overlooked this impressive variety. The 6” 
florets are light pink shading to a large light yellow throat. While it will fleck occasionally and seldom 
opens more Shan 6, its ability to produce mangificent ee from all sizes makes it valuable com- 
mercially. Grows 65”-70” tall with 18 buds and 29"-32” heads. Substance is good and seems to be an 
easy grower. 
Large  $.40 Medium $.30 Small $.20 Bulblets 10-$.30 
PERSIAN RUG (M 586 Roberts 50) One of the most attractive of the smokies. The ruffled 51% 
florets are a greyish smoky red shading to rosy red with a large cream blotch. Grows 50”-55” tall ai 
18 buds on a 25"-28” head and 6-8 open. Spikes tend to be a little variable with some on the short 
side, but still a good glad that you will like. 
Large $1.50 Medium $1.00 Small $.60 Bulblets 2 -$.20 
PHAROAH (LM 530 Higgins 50) The 51%” florets are a medium salmon pink with a lighter throat 
and deep pink midribs. PA very tall strong ¢ grower that gets up to 60-65" tall with 17-19 buds on a 
30-32” Teal Rated third among the light “salmons in the NAGC Symposium but we believe it can 
earn a higher rating. A tendency “of the color to peel slightly in storage may limit its commercial use 
but it is a top show glad.
