SPINDRIFT (Chase ’47) 400 (E). A lovely creamy white with a yellow 
throat. Capable of making outstanding spikes, and a very worthwhile 
cut flower because of its early blooming season. Opens 6 to 8 very large, 
nicely rounded, frilled florets on good spikes. 
L .25, M 2—.30, S 2—.20, Blts. 20—.25, 100—$1.00 
STATUETTE (Butt ’50) 213 (E). This lovely miniature should become 
one of the leading show winners; it has already made a good start in this 
direction. Makes an ideal small-type show spike, with up to 10 or 11 of its 
daintily frilled, tiny flowers open at once if opened inside—at least 8 
open in the field. One of the smallest of the little glads, and to us one 
of the most attractive. A bright clear medium yellow with not-too- 
prominent throat markings of a darker shade. A fine propagator, and 
makes nice bulbs. Best 200-spike, N.E.G.S., and Best Small Recent 
Introduction, Ohio. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .60, Blts. 2—.25, 10—$1.00 
STORMY WEATHER (Barrett ’47) 480 (M). Still our favorite light-toned 
smoky, as it has been ever since its introduction. Its refined coloring 
attracts everyone who is even remotely interested in smokies; even ad- 
mired by some who say they usually dislike these colors. Appropriately 
named, Stormy Weather is a rather light grayish-rose with iridescent 
shadings that remind one of the shifting clouds of an approaching storm. 
The throat markings which are not too prominent and really enhance 
the effect, consist of a faint stippling of deep rose on a creamy yellow 
center. The 8 or 9 open large, frilled florets are nicely placed on tall, 
straight, willowy stems; long flowerheads. A _ well-grown spike should 
be a strong contender for championship honors at any show. It is rated 
first-place smoky, both exhibition and commercial, in N.A.G.C. symposium. 
L .50, M .35, S .20, Blts. 5—.25, 10—.40, 100—$3.00 
STYLISH (Larus ’51) 440 (EM). A lovely pink that has made us forget 
a lot of other new pinks we have had on trial. The large frilled florets 
are colored an attractive clear pure pink with a little dotting of a subdued 
deep pink in the center. 6-7 open on sturdy spikes of good height. A 
fine, reliable pink. 
M .75, S .40, Blts. 2—.20, 10—.80 
SUNBEAM (Kuhn ’49) 320 (E). The best early cutflower orange we have 
yet found. The bright attractive orange coloring, with some yellow in the 
throat, is reminiscent of that of Skylark, although florets are not as 
large. If your market can use the medium sized varieties, the bright color 
of Sunbeam will be a welcome addition to the early glads. This will likely 
bring higher prices than some of the larger varieties later on. A runaway 
propagator. 
M .20, S 2—.25, Blts. 20—.25, 100—$1.00 
SUNDANCE (Almey ’49) 412 (M). One of the finest yellows; a clean 
medium shade without markings. The medium-large flowers are nicely 
waved and fluted, with 8-10 open on good tall, straight spikes. Quite a 
good propagator; about its only fault is some bulb-sprouting in storage 
which does not seem to affect growth in any way. If sprouts are over 
an inch or so long, we usually break them off before planting. This applies 
to any of the several precocious varieties which can’t seem to wait for 
spring and a covering of soil to begin their growth. 
L .60, M .40, Blts. 6—.25, 30—$1.00 
“IT really have praise for the early lavender seedling 1400-1. It per- 
formed topnotch all around. It made fine bulbs and jumbo bulblets and 
gave the longest cut spike of any lavender I’ve grown. The blooms had 
good substance and kept well in the heat. It rates above any lavender I 
have grown, and performs excellently here in the South.
