GAIL (Farrington ’49) 466 (M). A nice clean light lavender with a couple 
of fairly prominent rosy lines on the lower petals. Gail is a very regular 
spike-maker and looks like a fine commercial prospect in the lavender 
group, where some good ones are needed. It opens 8 or 9 tightly-attached 
nicely rounded florets in formal array on spikes of fair height. Our ideal 
lavender wouldn’t have a darker throat marking, but in this case the 
markings don’t detract too much, considering all the other fine qualities 
of spike and flower. A fair propagator for us. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Blts. 2—.20, 10—.75 
GARDEN GOLD (Rich ’48) 512 (M). In spite of the annual influx of 
new yellows, this is one we think will be with us for some time. Pleasing 
color and very large florets are outstanding features of Garden Gold. 
6 or 7 huge frilled flowers are open on tall spikes with fair flowerheads 
of about 15 buds. Color is a clear medium-deep yellow; lip petals are a 
deep golden yellow, almost crange yellow—very attractive. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Blts. 3—.25, 10—.75, 100—$6.00 
GARNET GLOW (Rich ’50) 454 (EM). A beautiful rich deep maroon 
that is one of the very best for color and number open, although not as 
large as some. It opens 7 or 8 lovely frilled, recurved florets of 4%-inch size 
on slender, graceful spikes. Shows some foliage discoloration at times, 
but bulbs seem healthy. Should become very popular for its fine color 
and unusual ruffling. 
M $1.50, S $1.00, Blts. .20 each, 10—$1.50 
GENE (Farrington 749) 310 (E). A beautifully frilled light yellow with 
flowers perhaps just a little small in proportion to the rather substantial 
stems. However it is not really a small glad; we have seen some grow 
to 4%-inches. Very pretty and much worthwhile for early cutting. “Most 
Ruffled” glad at the 1951 Oklahoma show. 
L .25, M .20, Bits. 20—.25, 100—$1.00 
GOLD (Marshall ’51) 412 (EM). Surely the best yellow for color yet 
originated. A lovely rich golden yellow without markings, it makes most 
of the other yellows look like creams! Like its parent Orange Gold, it 
could use a few more buds and a little greater flowerhead stretch, although 
stem is plenty long. Will be a wonderful florist flower—its color will sell 
it on sight. The nicely ruffled florets are of very heavy substance; 
opens 6 of its 14 buds at once. For a real color thrill, don’t fail to have 
some nuggets of GOLD in your garden this year! Gold was voted Color 
Champ at last summer’s Central Ohio show, and rates 2nd best of all 
the 1951 introductions in the latest N.A.G.C. symposium in both exhibition 
and commercial divisions. Propagation fairly good. 
L $2.50, M $1.75, S $1.00, Blts. .25 each, 10—$2.00 
GOLDEN DAWN (Savelief ’51) 412 (M). We had some grand spikes of 
this new variety from small bulbs last year; undoubtedly it is one of the 
coming yellows. Florets are medium to large with 7 or 8 or more open 
at a time; the rounded form and slight ruffling are very attractive. 
M .75, S .50, Blts. 5—.25, 25—$1.00 
GORGEOUS DEB (Wilson ’49) 530 (ML). A fine salmon pink of truly 
gorgeous color and ruffling; one of our favorites. Its 8 or 9 huge open 
florets will sometimes cause the flowerhead to bend a little. A light to 
medium salmon pink with a fairly prominent creamy yellow throat. Has 
won for “Most Beautiful” spike—also was spike with most open florets 
at the 1951 N.E.G.S. show. 
L $1.10, M .70, S .30, Blts. 5—.25, 10—.40, 100—$3.00
