Tarawa eee days) (Regent x Cor- 
ona) Ornate is the word for Tarawa! This sun-drench- 
ed scarlet acquires distinction from the distinct thumb- 
mark of velvety crimson bisected by a white line found 
in the throat of every luxurious floret. Tarawa throws 
a magnificent flowerhead with 8 open and with abun- 
dant stretch (see page 21) but lacks length in the 
“handle”. Nevertheless, it is a sensationally beautiful 
scarlet and a prime favorite with all who grow it.

The Rajah ***= (7) Wack, 1951) (85 
days) ((Picardy x 
Rosemarie Pfitzer) X King Lear) Resplendent new 
purple rival of King David. The Rajah opens 8 beau- 
tifully ruffled round florets of heavy substance and 
lustrous sheen on spikes with gratifying stretch. Color 
is very similar to Lancaster but it is a richer and more 
striking variety. (L 1-1.00) (M 1-.70) 
(S 1-.35) (Blbts. 2-.20) 
The Roan ** + (485) (Pruitt, 1949) (85 
days) We cut scores of 
truly magnificent spikes of The Roan last summer. 
This glad is one of my top favorites though, theoreti- 
cally, it shouldn’t be. The color, light red when seen 
at a distance, proves upon closer inspection to be deep 
red interlaced with veinings of white. It’s more beau- 
tiful than it sounds! In addition, the heavy substance, 
lavish ruffling, and “knuckles” in the throat give it 
surpassing beauty of form. The Roan is as handsome 
as it is unique. (L 1-.25; 10-2.00) (M 10-1.00)

Tivoli oeee days) (Greta Garbo x Mes- 
dag) The third glad in our list which was unanimous- 
ly rated four-four by the growers and fanciers reply- 
ing to my questionnaire was Tivoli—and most deserv- 
edly so! (Interestingly, the three top favorites—Friend- 
ship, Sweet Sixteen, and Tivoli—are all pure-pink, 
which most people consider the most beautiful of col- 
ors.) Tivoli opens 7-9 clean-cut, beautifully-spaced 
florets of an exquisite pure-pink color on spikes about 
five feet tall. A splendid grower and an unbeatable 
cutter. Strongly recommended.

Trail’s End **— * (566). (Ficht, 1949) 
' Seer Com days) Neyron 
rose with pale yellow throat describes this larger ver- 
sion of Betty’s Choice. Our picture on page 28 is not 
sufficiently rose to be strictly accurate. Although this 
glad is somewhat veined, like The Roan, it is of value 
because of its unusual color.
