1952 INTRODUCTION 
QUEEN’S LACE—401 (Heward '52) 85 DAYS 
Parents — Corona X Burma 
It is with pleasure that we present Queen's Lace as our 1952 Introduction. 
We have picked this one from several outstanding seedlings because of its great 
beauty and extremely heavy ruffling. During the years we have been growing 
glads have seen and tried hundreds of varieties but have yet to see one with as 
heavy ruffling as this. It is practically corrugated and has extremely heavy tex- 
ture. It is creamy white, almost a cream with two rose (Burma Color) darts in 
throat. One on each lower petal. The following description is just as we grew 
it this summer in our field. Opens 5 to 6, 4% in. florets on a very heavy straight 
stem. Has 16 to 18 buds on a 22 to 24 in. flower head. Height in field 4% feet. 
Florets open wide and have excellent attachment. Have never seen a misplaced 
floret to date. An extremely heavy propagator. Bulblet germination excellent. 
We use it extensively for hyhridizing because of its ruffling and texture. 
(See Cover picture.) 
Price—$2.00 per bulb, any size. Bulblets 10 for $2.00.
