BIRCHVILLE GARDENS 
PERDITA (Grout 48) 317—90 
More of a buff that is being passed off 
as a yellow. It is ruffled and opens 10 with 
7 more showing color. This has scarlet 
throat markings. Should make a good 
commercial. 
PERSIAN RUG (Roberts 50) 486—90 
A very showy and unusual smoky. Its 
color is hard to describe, a smoky slate or 
plum, gradually shading to reddish—rose 
with a clear light yellow blotch. Opens 7 
large florets on a 50” spike. A must for 
shows and wonderful for roadside sales 
of cutflowers. 
PHARAOH (Higgins 50) 530—90 
One of the strongest growing glads, a 
salmon pink with slight markings. Opens 
8 large wel! placed florets on good tall 
spikes. Has won Grand Championship and 
will wir in its class easily. 
PINK PRIDE (Arenius 52) 530 
Here is a huge pink that will be in demand 
by those who like giant glads. Opens 7 to 
9 huge florets on an 18 to 20 bud flower— 
head. Has good placement and I predict 
will win its share of blue ribbons. 
POINCIANA (Snyder 48) 562—80 
Rosy toned red with a deeper rose—red 
throat. The giant size florets of 54%” to 6” 
are ruffled and fluted. Spikes are 56” tall 
with 20 to 22 buds on a 28” flowerhead. 
Makes plenty of bulblets that grow well. 
POINSETTIA (Johnson 52) 450—87 
Lovely bright scar'et red that will make 
an outstanding commercial variety. Opens 
7 large ruffled blooms on tall stems. This 
was one of the best 1952 introductions. 
PORCELAIN BLUE (Rich 44) 478—90 
Medium dark violet pansy—blue with a 
clean creamy white throat. Large, wide 
open blooms. Opens five on a tall spike. 
This always makes a hit. Stock scarce so 
order early. 
RED FEATHER (Butt 51) 552—85 
Massive smooth dark red that opens 9 or 
10 large florets in perfect formation on a 
tall strong stem. Looks like Butts best red 
and should become a heavy show winner. 
Outstanding. 
REDOWA (Butt 47) 552—85 
Bright scarlet—red with darker red throat, 
enhancing its beauty. Tall grower of 55 
inches with 27 or 28 inch flowerheads of 
18 to 20 buds. Florets are 5 inches wide, 
with 7 to 9 open. Heavy show winner this 
past season.
