PACIFIC SUNSET 
Stained Glass (470) Burns (749). Here is one 
of the best purple glads resembling stained 
glass. It is a good grower, tall and straight, 
6-7 florets out and a very worthwhile glad. 
Spic & Span (442) Carlson (46). This is the — 
pink show flower that you see so many times 
with the Grand Championship ribbon on it. 
It needs no new introduction to the glad peo- 
ple. I don’t believe there is one fault to find 
with it. Everyone should grow plenty of Spic 
& Span. Beautiful ruffled pink. 
Sundance (412) Almey (49). A grand yellow— 
one of the best. 8, 10 or more medium deep 
yellow florets open on tall straight spikes. 
Sun Spot (417) Roberts (45). A wonderful 
apricot buff with rosy red spot in the throat. 
Always at its best on the show table and just 
as good for a commercial cut flower. Opens 
9 or 10 large ruffled florets on tall spikes. 
Sunbeam (320) Kuhn (49). Not too large but a 
pretty orange glad for early cutting, and 
valuable on that account. 
Stralia (416) Both (47). A clear unmarked 
salmony buff pastel. Beautiful color is out- 
standing. 55” tall, good placement and a 
healthy glad in every respect. Rating in test 
garden is AA-91. 
South Seas (491) Wilson (47). Odd and inter- 
esting dark gray brightened by a scarlet 
throat. Good show variety in the A.O.C. class. 
Sherwood (570) Pruitt (48). Clear reddish pur- 
pie witht slight deepening of the coior in the 
center. Florets are winged and fluted. Very 
attractive. Still one of tne best purples. 
Strathnaver (500) Peattie (47). This is the 
most sensational dead white glad we have 
ever seen. Can easily be grown without ex- 
pert care. 66” tall, 6-7” florets, 9-11 wide open 
white florets. This glad took Grand Cham- 
pionship at the Boise Valley Glad Show at 
Middleton, Idaho, in 1951. The plant growth 
with that of Mid-America is in a class by 
itself, and if you want one for the show table 
you should grow this in the white class. 
Smyrna (390) K. & M. (49). This is one of the 
most unusual! glads that I grow. I do not care 
for the coloring of it but maybe you do. This 
comes in the A.O.C. class. 
Skyway (440) Stevens (48). An excellent early 
blooming clear pink shading into a creamy 
white on the lower petais. A tall healthy 
grower, it opens to 7 tlorets on a nice spike. 
Valuable because of its earliness and clear 
color. 
Terrific (412) Wilson (50). Claimed to be one 
of the very best yellows originated to date. 
Tivoli (461) K. & M. (47). A fine shade of 
clear soit rose, lighter in the throat. It opens 
up to 8 florets of good attachment. This is 
one the cut flower growers are after. 
Themis (570) Pfiefer (49). One of the purples 
that is quite outstanding in its habits of 
growth and places well on a tall stem.

Uncle Tom (590) Salmon (49). A huge, very 
dark red making a wonderful spike, well 
placed florets on a long flower head. A good 
show flower in its class. 
Venida (460) Milo (47). Beautiful rose with 
lavender cast and a deep cream blotch in the 
throat. 50-60” tall with 24-28 buds on a long 
flower head. Ruffled and fluted, good grower 
and propagator. 
Velvet Mantle (454) Fischer (49). A velvety 
dark red opens up to 8 florets on a long flower 
head. Strong healthy grower and the color 
does not burn in the field. Does its best from 
large bulbs. 
Vrede (400) K. & M. (48). A very pure white 
color. 442” and larger and ruffled florets that 
are placed and spaced well on a stem. Opens 
6-8 and a very healthy grower. 
Velvet (452) Moore (49). A nice deep red vel- 
vety sheen on a good stem and good spike. 
I think you will like this. 
Vindicator (460) Burns (49). A giant pink. The 
color is very clear. Places well on a tall stem 
and a long flower head. Grows to 6-7” across 
the bloom. 
Violet Crumble (477) Pfeifer (49). This is a 
very good wide open violet colored flower on 
a long willowy stem. 6-7 open and is a won- 
derful showy flower in the garden. Try this 
one. 
Woritabeaier (4117 Pfitzer (45). A’ ciear “glis- 
tening and waxy medium light yellow with a 
red throat-mark, more prominent than that of 
Spot Light. 8-10 florets open on a 20-23 bud 
spike. The stem is tall and willowy. Valley 
View Test Garden rating is A-90. 
White Wings (400) Errey (48). This is with- 
out doubt one of the purest whites with lovely 
ruffled edges that is on the market today. It 
comes from the well known Errey Brothers 
in Australia. It has willowy stems, fine flower 
head and wide open florets. 
Wondrous (540) Burns (49). This is a huge 
salmon, one that stands up well. I balieve 
that this glad will have a future, and you 
shall hear more about it. 
White Goddess (500) Roberts (48). Large, tall, 
heavily ruffled white with creamy throat. This 
is a very fine performer and is one glad that 
seems to be getting better with us each year. 
Grand Champion at Binghamton this summer. 
W. H. Hosmer (460) Hatch (749). A tall laven- 
der of clear rose with a large cream lower lip. 
It opens up to 8 well attached florets. Grows 
robust and healthy. I wish it would stretch its 
head a little longer. The color is near the 
top of the list. 
Wedgwood (366) Fischer (47). This is one of 
the outstanding cut flowers. Not too large, 
but of the size that the florists use. A rich live 
blue lavender with a cream throat. It opens 
up to 5 beautifully ruffled florets on a slen- 
der spike. Try this one for your next bouquet.
