BIRCHVILLE GARDENS — Plainville, Connecticut 
DR. FLEMING (Salman 47) 442—85 
Salmon pink that makes fine spikes. Florets are ruffled with 6 to 8 open on a well 
balanced spike. Good commercial. 
DOROTHY ARMSTRONG (Beardmore 48) 470—70 
This is the earliest and certainly one of the best purples. Eight wide open 4% inch 
florets on long flowerhead. This is a one hundred percent cutter of good spikes. Due 
to be a heavy show winner and an outstanding cut flower. 
DRUM MAJOR (Wilson 42) 423—85 
Choice big exhibition orange with a velvety deep blotch. Opens 8 well placed 5 inch 
florets on a 20 bud spike. 
DUSTY MILLER (A.C. Elliott 45) 486-85 
Cne of the very best new smokies. Color is old rose with light red blotch. A good 
oes I recommend Dusty Miller and feel sure you will like it. Made a big hit at the 
onn. show. 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN (White 41) 566-86 
Beautiful lavender with darker lines in the throat. It has large ruffled blooms with 
8 open, and is one of the most beautiful glads grown. Our stock of this is without 
doubt one of the best in the country, for it seems to grow taller. 
FAIRYLAND (Kadel 50) 342—85 
Heavily ruffled medium rose with a small throat mark of a deeper shade. It opens 
six 4” florets with 6 more showing color on a 16 bud spike. Very good for arrange— 
ments. Good commercial. 
FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (Harris 47) 400-88 
Marvelous glistening white, 68 inches tall. Opens 6 to 8 well placed florets on a 21 bud 
spike. Florets are 54 inches across. Without a question the best white for both show 
and cut flower purposes. 
FRIENDSHIP (Fisher 49) 442—70 
Lovely shade of pure pink. The pink blends to a waxy cream throat. Certainly 
one of the most beautiful varieties and a wonderful cut flower. Very early. 
FLYING FORTRESS (Wilson 48) 586-93 
Light smoky grey with small red blotch, opens up to 14 very large blooms. Often called 
King of Smokies. One spike is a bouquet in its self. Subject to poor placement. 
GENE (Farrington 49) 410—72 
Beautiful intensely ruffled medium yellow that opens 8 well placed florets. This is 
one that all lovers of ruffled glads should have. Very good cut flower. 
GEN. EISENHOWER (Salman 48) 542—85 
A brilliant begonia—rose which grows up to 60 inches tall. Opens 8-10 large blooms 
that are often 734 inches across. Very popular name and should become a popular g!ad. 
GLOW (Howell 46) 420—70 
This is a luminous salmon—orange which is bright toward the throat and grows 52 
inches tall with a 24 inch flowerhead. It opens 7 or 8 blooms at a time and is one 
of the florists favorites. 
GOLDEN ARROW (D.S. Pruitt 47) 510-85 
Clear light yellow that grows 60 inches tall. The 5% inch florets are firmly attached 
to a strong spike of 18 buds. Bulblets are large and grow up to No. 1 bulbs. Should 
become popular. 
GOLDEN STATE (Wheeler 42) 412—90 
Clear rich yellow that is a tall grower. Opens up to 10 on a long flowerhead. This gets 
my vote for the best commercial clear yellow. A; otis: favorite. 
HAPPY END (K. & M.) 337—70 
Orange scarlet with creamy yellow blotch on fivier petals. The stem is tall, wiry, 
upright and the medium size florets are firmly attached. The placement is excel— 
lent. Very early. 
HARRY HOPKINS (Salman 47) 462—85 
Wine red with slight purple gow, this one was fine here this past summer. Grew tall 
and straight, with 6-8 open on every spike. 100% cutter.
