DRESDEN (Butt ’51) 210 (E). One of the most charming small glads we 
know of. The buds are slightly greenish, but open to a clear medium 
yellow with lip petals just a shade darker; no other markings. Substance 
is very firm and the dainty florets are nicely ruffled. Dresden and its 
sister seedling Statuette are said to be good parent varieties to use in 
working for better small and miniature seedlings. They are plenty good 
just the way they are! 
M $2.00, S $1.25, Blts. .25 each, 10—$2.00 
EASTER BONNET (Lacey ’51) 467 (M). A very reliable “bread and 
butter” glad—the kind you really appreciate because you can go down 
the row and cut practically 100% spikes of A-1 cutflower quality. We 
like the color too, although it is not sensational. A rather pale blue-lav- 
ender nicely offset by a soft but bright deep lavender center. Six or seven 
plain-petalled 5-inch florets are open on spikes of moderate height. A 
good producer of large bulblets which germinate quite well. The originator 
reports that Easter Bonnet has been a regular prize winner in its class 
at the Michigan shows. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.00, Blts. 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$7.50 
ELMER’S ROSE (Fischer ’51) 460 (EM). From the same cross (with 
reversed parentage) as Noweta Rose, this new one is a little brighter 
shade of lavender-rose with purple throat darts. It won’t open quite as 
many florets as its sister seedling, but it may be an easier grower. Seems 
to do well almost everywhere. Florets are nicely frilled and the color 
is quite attractive. 
M .75, S .50, Bits. 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
EMBERS (Arnett 751) 450 (M). This new multi-tone light red ranks 
alongside his famous White Challenge as Rog Arnett’s best origination. 
The color is pleasing although quite unusual, being light red at petal 
edges, lightening a little toward the center. Lip petals are creamy-buff 
with diffused rose markings. Its two-toned or really three-toned effect 
is rather hard to describe, but once you have seen it we believe you will 
like it as well as we do. Embers should be a good commercial and a show 
flower as well. The rounded florets have perfect placement, close but not 
crowded; and fine attachment. About 7 open, usually. Gives good increase. 
L $7.00, M $6.00, S $5.00, Blts. .60 each, 10—$5.00, 100—$40.00 
ESQUIRE (Ficht 750) 5386 (M). A good bright color, although floret form 
is rather plain. Has been a good show winner in its class; florets are 
large and plants and spikes very tall and husky. Color is a self scarlet 
red; up to .7 or more open. Fine propagator. 
L .25, M 2—.25, Blts. 20—.25, 100—$1.00 
EVANGELINE (Palmer 748) 540 (M). Still a prominent show winner and 
capable of making tremendously impressive spikes of an attractive light 
pink color. No conspicuous markings, although there is a slight peppering 
in the throat, along with a touch of cream. 8 or more huge florets open 
on very tall sturdy spikes. About its only fault is that quite often there 
will be some up-facing florets. A moderate propagator of bulblets that all 
sprout quickly and grow extra well. LEvangeline’s top 1951 winnings 
included Grand Champion awards at the following shows: Maine, Toronto, 
Auburn-Western International, and Ohio R. I. and Seedling Show. Also 
2nd Day Champ, Vancouver, B. C. This variety was voted 1st place 
exhibition light pink in the latest N.A.G.C. Symposium. 
L .40, M .25, Blts. 10—.25, 100—$2.00 
“Bulbs arrived today; mighty fine stock, as nice as I have ever 
received from anyone. Don’t recall in my 19 years of growing glads re- 
ceiving double the amount of the orders in extras! Thanks again.”
