PRIDE OF ERIN (E 567 Franklin, Aus. 48-51) One of the best of the early varieties, for it makes 
better spikes than most of the other first earlies. Grows 50”-55” tall with 20-21 buds of which 7-8 are 
open on a 25"-27” head. The mauve lavender florets with a deeper blotch and a white center line are 
rather unusual and will appeal to many.

QUIBERON (LM 416 Errey 46-49) One of the three varieties which have each won two Grand Champ- 
ionships for us. Of all the varieties we have grown we believe that this is the one that is the “best bet” 
for Champion. At the Connecticut show last summer one spike was G.C. and another won the prize 
for most open. The 5”-514" ruffled florets are a very lovely peach buff, shading to a deeper salmon 
at the edges and to a light yellow throat. Grows 65"-70" tall with 22-25 buds on a 30"-32” head and 
9-11 open. Despite slight crooking and some misplacement this is an outstanding variety. Approved 
by the NAGC Trial Gardens. An easy grower and a good propagator. See picture on page @8312,

RED WING (M 436 Wright 48) This nice clean scarlet has become recognized as the outstanding 
exhibition scarlet and as a fine new commercial. Spikes are 55”-60” tall with 20-22 buds on a 28”-30" 
head and 7-8 514” and larger florets open. One of the top varieties.

ROBERT ALAN (EM 412 Lorenz 49) A beautiful clear deep yellow self. The petals are slightly 
recurved. One of the strongest growing yellows with spikes 55”-60” tall and 20-23 buds on a 26-"30" 
head. An early bloomer that is a fine show glad and definitely one of the best yellows. 
Large $1.00 Medium $.75 Small $.50 Bulblets $.15 
ROSY FUTURE (M 462 Pletcher 51) Clear deep red rose with a slightly deeper throat. The coler 
is outstanding and sure to be widely admired. Grows 48"-52" tall with 17 buds and a 23”-26” flower- 
head. Opens 6 5” or larger florets. Its beauty and good habits make it a promising commercial.

ROYAL FLUSH (LM 552 Barrett 50) The 514” ruffled florets are a gleaming medium red with a little 
deeper throat markings. A beauty and an excellent grower with 60” spikes, 19-21 buds and 26”-30” 
flowerheads. With 7 open this is definitely one of the most outstanding new show glads. 
Large $3.00 Medium $2.00 Small $1.00 Bulblets $.30 
SEASHELL (LM 540 Roberts 48) One of the loveliest of glads. The 514” ruffled florets are a shell 
pink with a small white throat. Grows up to 60” tall with 20 buds, a 25”-27” head and 6-7 open. 
Propagation fair. An excellent glad for house use.

SOUTH SEAS (LM 491 G. Wilson 47) In our garden this has been the outstanding show glad in the 
A.O.C. classes. The 514" florets are a very striking orange grey on light slate with a deep orange and 
yellow blotch. Despite some streaking this is attractive and a real eye-catcher. Spikes are consistently 
good, growing 60”-65” tall with 22-25 buds on a 29”-32” head and 7-8 open. Definitely one of the 
best growers we have tried.

STATUETTE (E &® Butt 50) This is definitely one of the finest miniatures. The ruffled 234” florets 
are light yellow with a small medium red blotch. Opens 7-8 of these beautiful blooms in precise place- 
ment on an 18”-20” head. Spikes are 40"-45” tall with 18 buds. One of the few good ones that does not 
grow oversize. This year we won 2 Division Championships and a number of blue ribbons with Statu- 
ette.

a small deep pink dotted blotch at the back opens 6-7 heavily ruffled 514" florets on spikes 52"-55”

promising commercial. No crooking or misplacement.

SUNDANCE (M 412 Almey 49) Probably the finest all-around deep yellow. The 5” florets are a 
heavily ruffled medium yellow, with 7-10 open on 25”-30” heads. Grows 60” tall with 22-25 buds on 
fine straight spikes. Rated second highest exhibition deep yellow in the NAGC Symposium and should 
reach the top when more widely grown.
