1952 Introductions of Small Glads 
CLAUCARCY (Maynard ’52) — 240 M* 
Here’s one with plenty of buds and a lot of stretch. 
I had flowers last summer with 7 open and 7 showing 
color on spikes of 19 buds. Florets are light pink with 
cream throat, plain petaled, 3 to 3% inches in diameter, 
They are widely spaced but quite regular and orderly. 
Has scored in the 80’s at East Lansing, Mich., trial 
ground past two years and won award of commendation 
at Central International Show in ’51. : 
L. $1.50; M. $1.00; S. 75e 
PARMA VIOLET (Vawter ’52) — 279 M 
Here, indeed, is a new variety that will ‘prove an 
asset to a sparcely represented color class. (We 
have only Blue Lily & Magic.) Moreover, Parma 
Violet will top these older representatives in sta- 
ture and number of florets open, as 6 to 8 open on 
spikes of 17 and 18 buds is its capability. Color is 
medium blue with a conspicuous deeper blue blotch 
that is set off by a neat border of white. Facing 
and placement good with never a crook. And here’s 
another virtue you’d probably not expect in a “blue”: 
bulbs are healthy and produce large bulblets that 
grow well. 
I am indeed pleased to have the opportunity to be 
the only cataloger to assist the originator, Mrs. Vaw- 
ter, in introducing this fine little blue at the excep- — 
tionally reasonable price of 
$2 for, any size bulb 
Mary had a little lamb; Its fleece was white as snow. 
It wandered thru her glad bed, up and down each row. 
And when the dainty MINI’TURES bloomed— 
For that’s the kind she grew— 
The improvement in their growth 
Was surely plain to view!
