vigorous white, Sierra Snow will fill your every desire.

at once. Heavy ruffling, good texture. 
experts rate it as one of our best new whites.

SILCHERLIED — Here is a choice new blotched variety. 
Color is clear La France pink with deep rose throat 
blotch. Very similar to Lipstick, but clearer and of 
more beautiful coloring. Tall grower and extra fine 
for cutting. 18-12 buds, 8 open, 41/2-5" well formed 
and well attached florets. Propagation and germina- 
tion very good. One of my favorite glads and | know 
it will prove to be an extra fine florist’s flower and 
a good commercial for that reason.

SKIPPY — A very tall, extremely ruffled white with 
small pink blotch. 18 buds, 6 open, 4-5 in color,

mercial cutting.

SMYRNA — Here’s a variety which has been over- 
looked by many. It is listed only in a few catalogues, 
but you will find it really outstanding for your 
home decorative work. Rather difficult to describe. 
The over-all color is deep buff with veigning effects 
of fuschia purple, lending a stippled effect. Rather 
odd, yet appealing.

Glads.’’ Probably the greatest glad of all times. Cos-

for ihe shows or for making money, this is the best 
one!
