Four Choice New Glads 
FURBELOW (see page 12) 
Rich, captivating, intensely ruf- 
fled pink with creamy throat 
blotch, opens 6-8 large waxy flor- 
ets on a straight spike of 16-18 
buds. Has unusually heavy sub- 
stance and splendid placement. 
Burbelow is a supremely beauti- 
ful new variety. I have grown 
this for two years and rate it 
highly for commercial and ex- 
hibition. A really strong grower. 
HI JINKS 
A towering, clear smoky rose 
with a creamy-white throat. You 
will be thrilled when its large 
saucer-like florets open wide to 
unfold its unique smoky beauty. 
Opens 5-7 on a 15-16 bud spike. 
Truly exotic!

creamy throat, opens 6-8 lightly 
ruffled florets that have fine sub- 
stance, tall vigorous growing

florist glad.

RED RADIANCE 
Red Charm X Spotlight 
One of the very finest spikes, of 
the thousands which I had bloom 
last summer, was Red Radiance. 
It is another 1953 introduction by 
the Melks, a clear bright red with- 
cut markings of any kind. It is 
one of the cleanest and brightest 
reds I know. Florets 5”, with 8 
open in very formal placement, 
6 more in color. Totals 20 buds, 
well spaced and attached. Sub- 
stance excellent. A few bunches 
of Red Radiance were shipped to 
the Milwaukee market this past 
Large or medium $2.50 
summer and my reports from the 
wholesale houses are that it is 
considered excellent by the whole- 
salers and the retailers who were 
fortunate enough to get these few 
bunches. 
Spikes always straight, very tall, 
25" flower head. Florets are ex- 
cellent texture and is a wonder- 
ful keeper. Propagation and ger- 
mination excellent. I feel that this 
is really a most promising red for 
commercial growing and also for 
the show table.
