* (401) (Miller, 1942) (70 
Mt. Index e e e days) (Magna Blanca x 
Maid of Orleans) This tall white with small yellow 
glow in the throat has been a good commercial. It 
was named after one of the peaks in the Cascade Range. 
Mt. Index is superseded by Heart O’Gold.

Sam *-** (442) (Both, 1949) (85 days) One 
Necia od eg of the few Australian varieties in 
our list is Necia, whose great vigor combined with a 
soft salmon-pink color and curious lavender-rose 
blotch made it seem worthwhile. A glad that is differ- 
ent. Pictured on page 21. 
(L 1-.50) (M 1-.35) 
x * * (462) (Salman, 1951) (80 
New York e e e days) Another rose-red 
from Holland. This one grows 66 inches tall, produc- 
ing an excellent flowerhead bearing 6-7 large, silky, 
plain-petalled dusky rose-red blooms. Destined to 
achieve some popularity. A larger but less vivid Harry 
Hopkins. (M 1-.20; 10-1.50) (S 2-.25; 10-1.00)

Nila « *&_* (462) (R. Pruitt, 1947) (85 days) 
e © e Don’t deprive yourself of Nila! 
Among the least temperamental of glads, its uniform 
shoulder-high spikes carrying eight round, plain- 
petalled, silky, self-colored rose-red florets of heavy 
substance will delight you. Another good one from 
Robert Pruitt. (L 2-.25; 10-1.00) (M 10-.60)
