CORSAGE (Knight ’51) 361 (EM). Not a color gem, but quite interesting, 
and likely useful in corsages and arrangements. Four or five irregularly 
placed, laciniated, winged florets of small size are open on slender, wiry 
stems. Color is creamy white flushed light rose, with a red-violet line on 
the creamy lip. Would be quite a sensation if color were clearer and 
better, but an odd and unique little novelty as it is. The petals are narrow 
and quite pointed. Propagates very well. 
M .75, S .50, Blts. 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
COTILLION (Butt 748) 542 (EM). A fine exhibition variety that can 
make a fine full spike with up to 10 large flowers open usually in double 
row formation, although there is some misplacement at times. There will 
also be a percentage of crooked stems in any planting, but you will get 
a lot of perfect exhibition spikes. The plain-petalled florets are a pleasing 
shade of deep pink with quite a large creamy center. Cotillion was grand 
champion of the Ottawa, Ontario, and Northwestern Ohio shows last year. 
It also won for spike with most open florets at Yakima. 
L .25, M 2—.25, Blts. 20—.25, 100—$1.00 
CREAM ORCHIDS (Fischer ’51) 406 (EM). Although glads with cut or 
laciniated petals have never been especially popular, we think this form 
can be quite attractive. Cream Orchids has a fine clear cream color, plus 
attractively frilled and ruffled florets with definite laciniation; adding up 
to a most intriguing flower. Placement and substance are not quite all 
they might be, but it’s a very worthwhile variety and perhaps a forerunner 
of even better laciniated glads. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Blts. 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
CRIMSON TIDE (Roberts 745) 452 (M). One of our first introductions, 
this ruffled crimson red has stood the test of time, although its rather 
spotty bulblet germination has limited its commercial acceptance. In six 
years it never failed to make Dr. Cason’s list of “Best 3” in each color 
class, usually heading this group. It is quite unique in its “Turkish Red” 
coloring; its shining, almost enameled texture, and extremely heavy sub- 
stance. It will open about 6 large flowers on medium-tall stems. 
L .30, M .20, S 2—.25, Blts. 20—.25, 100—$1.00 
CROWN JEWEL (Fischer ’51) 461 (EM). A lovely shade of pinkish orchid; 
a medium sized blotch of purple on cream. Florets are nicely frilled, with 
6-7 open on tall willowy spikes. A very pretty glad. 
M $1.25, S $1.00, Blts. .20 each, 10—$1.50 
DESERT DUSK (Rich ’50) 586 (M). A grand smoky that is one of our 
favorites. Just a little darker in general effect than Stormy Weather; 
considerably lighter in tone than South Seas. It has a very interesting 
and pretty color combination—grayish salmon with an overlay of slate, 
brightened by a rather soft but quite prominent coral-orange throat spot. 
It opens up to 8 or 9 large florets on good exhibition spikes. Quite a good 
propagator; germination only fair. 
M $1.50 
DIVINITY (Roberts 52) New 306 class light cream. See 1952 Introductions 
DOLLY VARDEN (Harris ’50) 532 (ML). A fine deep pink with white 
throat and midribs. The floret shape is quite unique; petals are fairly 
broad but long and slightly pointed at the ends, also somewhat recurved. 
Color is not far from that of Cotillion, or perhaps nearer the old favorite 
Aladdin, one of its parents. A fine big showy glad making tall spikes; 
a very easy grower. Opens about 7. Fairly good propagator. 
M $1.00, S .75, Blts. 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00
