GRAY SUMMIT (Butt ’50) 486 (EM). This variety and Mistaya are about 
as close to a real gray color as hybridists have reached to date. Smoky 
gray with undertones of pinkish-lavender; a creamy white throat with a 
touch of pink at the outer edge. We could wish it might open up its good- 
sized flowers just a little more widely. Spikes are of good height; 6-7 
open at once. One of our best sellers last season; fall orders have taken 
all of our large bulbs this year. 
M .25, S 2—.25, Blts. 15—.25, 100—$1.25 
GWEN (Pickell ’49) 560 (EM). An allegedly fragrant glad, although we 
find not too many people can detect any scent. At least the fragrance is 
not as strong as in Cologne and Thisisit, although the flower is larger. 
We grow this variety for its rather attractive rose coloring and quite 
early blooming period. A fairly clear rose-pink with darker lips and usually 
a definitely lighter petal edging, very interesting. 
M .75, S .50, Blts. 2—.20, 10—.75 
HAMLET (Larus 750) 454 (EM). One of the finest and perhaps the most 
consistently good grower of all the black reds, with the possible exception 
of the new Ace of Spades. While most of the black reds are not very 
popular florist flowers, Hamlet should be a better commercial than most, 
due to its good growing habits, fast propagation and reliable bulblet ger- 
mination. Also its color is attractive and livelier than many others, being 
a dark maroon with a slight purplish undertone and nicely contrasting 
white stamens. Florets are very lightly frilled with 6 or more open on 
good spikes. Makes fine bulbs. 
L $1.25, M .90, S .60, Blts. 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00 
HAROLD K (Knight ’49) 5386 (M). A good exhibition red that can make 
very fine spikes, although not all come tall for us. The large, round 
florets of medium scarlet-red are of heavy substance and have some 
ruffling. They are well placed on the spike, with about 7 open at once. 
A fine propagator of bulblets which grow well. Best 3-spike entry at 
the Ames show last year. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Blts. 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
HARRIET (Everett 51) 370 (EM). Clear royal purple of a lovely shade, 
with a deeper feather and small white line in the center. Florets measure 
about 4 inches, with up to 8 open at a time. Substance and ruffling are 
quite heavy. Stem is graceful and quite slender; the flowerhead may 
bend over a little under the weight of the fully opened spike. A good 
increaser. We like Harriet and believe you will too. It should easily 
become the top show winner in the 370 class. Best Recent Introduction 
at Edwardsville, Illinois last summer. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .60, Blts. 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
HARRY HOPKINS (Salman ’47) 462 (M). One of the better Dutch 
varieties to come over since the war, this is a fairly deep rose or wine 
red with no obvious markings. A good clean color and a fine grower 
and propagator. Quite tall, with 7 or 8 large flowers open at once. 
L 2—.25, M 3—.20, S 6—.25, Blts. 25—.25, 100—.75 
HEART O’ GOLD (Fischer ’50) 401 (VE). Not a big glad, but large 
enough for most floral use and so early that it is always given a hearty 
welcome by the florists. A neat creamy white with clear yellow lips, 
5-6 open on wiry spikes. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, Blts. 8—.25 
“My greatest thrill came when my small bulbs of SEASHELL came 
into bloom. There one morning stood 3 spikes each 6 feet tall of the 
most gorgeous satiny pink ruffled glads I ever hope to see. To me this glad 
far surpasses Evangeline in beauty.” - R.F., Minnesota, 3/7/51
