THE RAJAH (Jack ’51) 570 (M). Lovely ruffled purple with many large 
ruffled blooms open at once. A worthy rival of King David in this popular 
color. Best Recent Introduction at Vancouver, B. C., and also at Yakima- 
Western International G. S., where it was also judged Most Beautiful 
spike in the show. 
L $1.00, M .70, S .35, Bits. 2—.20, 10—.80 
THISISIT (Spencer ’49) 432 (M). If you doubt that there are any really 
fragrant glads, plant a bulb or two of Thisisit and be convinced! We 
believe that this variety and Cologne have the most readily recognizable 
scent of any of the so-called fragrant varieties. Thisisit is a nice clean 
deep salmon pink with about 6 medium-large florets open on slender wiry 
stems. The nicely frilled flowers do not open quite as widely as we would 
like, but they have a nice sweet fragrance that is strongest when cut 
and brought indoors, or before noon in the patch. As in Cologne, the 
hot afternoon sun seems to dissipate most of the scent; it is much 
stronger in newly-opened florets. 
L .50, M .35, S .25, Blts. 10—.35 
TOBRUK (Pfitzer ’49) 454 (EM). Buds are really black, and the open 
blooms are perhaps even darker than Ace of Spades, although florets 
are not quite as large. Opens 5-6 on fairly good spikes. One of the best 
black-reds for color; a fair propagator. 
L $1.00, M .75, Blts. 2—.20 
TRAIL’S END (Ficht ’49) 560 (M). A lovely color and a fine big flower. 
Clear light to medium orchid-rose with a very large light yellow throat 
area. The huge florets are plain or only very slightly frilled, but with 
8 or 9 open at once it makes a grand showing. Stems are very tall; 
flowerheads seem slightly out of proportion, although not really short. 
A beautiful glad that is one of our favorites. 
L .75, M .50, S .25, Blts. 5—.25, 10—.40 
TREASURE ISLAND (E. H. Lins 747) 540 (EF). Another very large glad, 
this time in a light shade of pure pink with a hint of rose. Quite an early 
bloomer; not quite a first-early. Very reliable, making uniformly tall, 
straight, strong spikes with about 6 huge, lightly frilled florets open at 
once. An occasional misplaced floret. Good propagator, although bulblet 
germination is a little spotty. 
L .25, M .20, S 2—.20, Blts. 10—.20, 100—$1.50 
TWINKLES (Butt 748) 233 (E). Really a stunning little glad; one of our 
favorite small ones. To appreciate its miniature beauty in the fullest it 
should be seen in an arrangement, although a single spike is striking. 
The tiny, heavily ruffled, narrow-petalled flowers of metal-like substance 
are a clear deep salmon with lots of yellow in the center. Or you might 
prefer to call it a yellow with a wide border. of salmon-pink; in any event 
it is one of the cutest small glads we have ever seen. Won as Most Ruffled 
glad at the N.E.G.S.-Boston show. 
L .50, M .35, S .20, Blts. 8—.25, 35—$1.00 
VOGUE (E. H. Lins ’49) 466 (M). A deep lavender or light purple with 
nicely frilled florets. This would be in the top bracket if flowerheads 
would stretch up a little more. A fine garden variety that attracts most 
people. 6 or 7 large flowers are open at a time. 
L. 50, M. 40, S. 20, Blts. 4—.25, 10—.50 
“Seedling 944-1 (Painted Lady) is a knockout! The combination of 
floret form, texture, ruffling, and color says ‘Here is something entirely 
different.’ Those lip petals look as if they had been dyed or painted!”
