The perfect glad has not yet been introduced, 411 heve some faults. Some 
faults weigh ageinst a gled in commerciel growing, some in exhibition, and 
some faults can be overlooked because the variety is so outstanding otherwise. 
In the ietter case is SVANGELINE, which may heve the first floret poorly faced 
on some spikes, but otherwise is en outstending gled. ‘The color of ANKARA and 
POUSSIN, in fect of most brown-reds, seems to fede if the spike is allowed to 
open completely in the hot sun, but opened indoors, they are fine, Certain 
glads are especially subject to insects or diseases. HINDENBURG'S MEMORY, NOVA 
ZEMBLA, WHITH XMAS, ROSA VAN LIMA ond BRIDAL ORCHID will be the first plants to 
be attecked by mites. BOLERO end LAVENDER AND GOLD ere both rether subject to 
diseese. Some verieties heve florets thet are too lerge to be handled easily 
as commercials, but sre just whet the exhibitor and gerdener sre looking for. 
Into this class fell MAUREEN GARDENER, MID-AMERICA, ORCHID GIANT, LEEUWENHORST 
end MARGUERITE. The florets of SKYMASTER ere too lerge for the spacing, so 
that there is some overlepping. Short flower-head is the count egainst GOLD, 
GOLDEN FAVORITE and LEBUYENHOAST, but the letter is such a huge thing you prob- 
ebly wont notice it, while the former is the cleenest deep yellow we heve seen, 
WORLDBEATER is often mispleced, end sometimes bunchy, but comes well from 
medium sized bulbs,- «nd mekes e dendy show-spike.
