purple. Kashmir we think has the richest color of all the purple glads as well as the heaviest 
ruffling. Parade is the earliest in the class and a fine spikemaker. 
The highly touted Gustav Mahler proved to be a fine healthy grower and a large one too 
but the color doesn’t come up to that of Abu Hassen. Blue Devil has about the most striking 
color combination of any glad and is rapidly gaining prominence as an exhibition variety, Blue 
Bonnett and Libretto are two fine varieties among the lighter blues. Ravel, we have stopped 
growing because of its poor health; a prime factor among the “blue”’ glads. 
Among the smoky and any other color varieties, we list a great many of either because 
we like them or else they have proven to have widespread popularity. Opinions vary so 
greatly that we will just say that we include the following new ones among our personal 
favorites; Persian Rug, Storm Terror, Stormy Weather, Wahoo, Alzada, and Salamanca. The 
top rated exhibition varieties in this class include Stormy Weather, Dusty Miller, Persian Rug, 
Gray Summitt, Buckeye Bronze, and Vagabond Prince.
