NEWPORT WHITE — One of my favorite whites. Pure 
chalk white. Huge florets of good substance. Strong 
growing. Absolutely one of the top-notch whites. 
Don’t know of anything better in this class.

NEW YORKER — This 1950 introduction of Dr. Graff's 
performed remarkably well for me and others this 
past summer. It’s a delicate light pink with promi- 
nent midrib. Will open 6-8 large slightly ruffled 
florets on tall, sturdy stems. Placement and sub- 
stance good. Looks like a very promising commer- 
cial as well as exhibition glad.

NOWETA ROSE — Designed for the show table. Deep 
rose, good substance, many open in formal, compact 
arrangement. | have some choice, well-grown bulbs. 
A good show record for this one and it will win for 
you, too.

OCTOBER SUNSHINE — For the shows we_ usually 
make baskets of Wedgwood and October Sunshine, a 
very beautiful combination of pastel colors. October 
Sunshine is yellow with Autumn tones of buff. Much 
in demand for commercial growing.

ORIENTAL PEARL — One of the largest glads grown. 
A very light cream which opens around five florets 
often measuring 7 inches across. Many of my cus- 
tomers reported that it has been their best money 
making variety. Always in demand by florists. This 
is especially true of those who deliver direct to the 
florist trade. A little too large and brittle for the 
commercial markets. Nothing so delightful for the 
home garden. Often wins for largest floret.

PACTOLUS — Deep ruffled buff with prominent scar- 
let throat marking. Good strong grower. Well liked

triguing and very catchy. Deep scarlet with heavy

formance.

placement. Spikes always uniform and fine for com- 
mercial cutting. Another Gold Medal winner in Cana- 
dian test gardens. You can’t go wrong with this one.
