410 RECORD (K & M) (our ’50 import 
release) M. Pastel finished (soft, 
without glisten), creamy yellow. 
Three or four very faint pepper marks 
on deeper yellow throat. Medium tall 
spikes with round, flat florets 5 inches 
diameter 6-7 open. Buds have rose 
bud form and appearance. Type varies 
from formal to informal with grow- 
ing conditions from bud to bloom 
stage. Should it fail to make the grace 
as an exhibition glad at the shows for 
lack of number open it will neverthe- 
less quickly command the cut flower 
reputation it plainly deserves. Its color 
harmony with pastels of other colors 
such as, for instance, Benjamin Brit- 
ten, is stunning.

416 HUGH PRICE (Both ’46) (our 48 
import release) LM. The color is 
thoroughly clean. A _ bright buff, 
slightly salmon toned, blending into 
yellow throat. Florets all but perfectly 
round, about 4% inches and larger. 
To their beauty of color is added 
beauty of form, being well ruffled and 
ribbed. Makes grand spikes with 8-10 
open in full double row placement. 
As our stock increases from a small 
start, so also our experience — and 
ability to appraise. We do not hesitate 
to classify this variety well within 
the limits of the world’s most beauti- 
fully colored glads. Its round floret 
shape and perfect spike outline, to- 
eether with the ribbing and ruffling 
and its shining, bright, clean color 
mark it surely for “knockout” classi- 
fication. So far we consider it flaw- 
less in every respect. 
One of the 6 to 8 varieties whose 
florets fully withstood a _ prolonged 
soggy, water-soaking period. 
Currently the top color rated buff 
variety.

416 PATROL (Palmer ’46) EM. Clear 
apricot with yellow in throat. Tall 
spikes of great strength frequently 
with 10 open and balance in color. Far 
too many championships to mention. 
This is one of the varieties whose 
foliage shows occasional lack of green 
chlorophyll pigmentation.
