BLUE DEVIL (EM 479 Larus 51) While the stock of this is still limited, we hope to be able to fill 
retail orders this year. It was rated the best exhibition deep violet by the United States growers 
participating in the NAGC Symposium, although it is still too new to be widely grown. The florets 
are a clear deep violet, with a rose blotch on a conspicuous white throat — very striking and different. 
Spikes are 55” tall with flowerheads up to 27” long with 7 wide-open 419” florets. Has been by far our 
strongest growing and best blue. Voted the Most Popular Variety for two years in a row by visitors 
to the Connecticut Show. One of the very few blues to have won a Grand Championship. We believe 
this will be the top show winner among the blues and a valuable commercial. Picture on page 7.

COL. W. G. ATKINSON (L 466 Williams 51) We feel confident that this is one of the best com- 
mercial prospects among the new lavenders. The rosy lavender 5” florets are attcactive and clean. 
Spikes grow 50” to 55” tall with 18-20 buds on a 26” head. Placement and attachment are excellent, 
with 7 to 9 open. The stems are strong and straight. It has a good show record and has proven itself 
in tests in many areas throughout the country. Picture on page 7.

COLUMBIA (M 407 Roberts 51) Rated very highly among the newer introductions. The florets are 
lavender rose at the edges, shading to a creamy white, with a small cream throat. Looks very much 
like Corona, but we consider it more beautiful and an improvement in most respects. Grows 50” tall 
with 18-20 buds on a 24” to 27” head and 7 lightly ruffied florets of heavy substance. Attachment is 
excellent, stems straight and strong, while it is a fine propagator. A good show glad and commercial 
prospect.

DARK DAVID (LM 554 Morgan, Aus., 51-51) A new dark red from Australia that is climbing rapidly 
toward the top of its class. The florets are a dark red at the outside, shading somewhat lighter towards 
the center. While the 519” lightly ruffled florets occasionally have some darker streaking, they are 
attractive. Spikes grow 55” tall with 19 buds and a 25” head and 8 open. Their massiveness makes 
them the largest of any of the dark reds. A strong healthy grower that should become very popular 
and a fine show variety.

DOLLY VARDEN (LM 532 Harris 50) For the past 3 years this has been one of our top varieties, 
and we are pleased to see that it is now highly rated in the NAGC Symposium. The spikes are husky 
and the florets strikingly attractive due to their size, clean color and good form. Grows 60” tall with 
18 buds on a 30” head and 6 to 7 open. The 6” florets are deep salmon pink with a large cream throat 
—an improved Aladdin. Good for exhibition and commercial use.

ELMER’S ROSE (M 462 Fischer 51) Rated as one of the top 1951 introductions and near the top of 
its class in the NAGC Symposium. The 5” ruffled florets are a clean medium rose with a deeper blotch 
and are very attractive. The tall, strong spikes carry 7-8 open in formal placement. A fine show glad 
that has won many ribbons and is probably a good commercial prospect.

FALCON (M 567 Woods 49) This has taken a place among our favorite lavenders, due to its strikingly 
attractive orchid-like florets and its fine spikes. The heavily ruffled 615” florets are medium rose 
lavender with a large cream yellow throat and a medium rose blotch. The spikes grow 55” to 60” tall 
with 18-21 buds on a 24” to 28” head and 7 open. A fine glad for show and house use.

FIRE GLEAM (EM 436 Jack 49) One of the first really good glads to bloom each year. The florets 
are a bright and clean light scarlet with a white throat line. They are ruffled and run about 514” in 
size. Spikes are straight and strong, attaining a height of 60” with 20 buds and a 27” head. A fine show 
vlad and a popular early cut flower, despite slightly weak attachment. In our garden Fire Gleam, 
Friendship, Heart O° Gold, Salman’s Glory and Snowbelle have been our best earlies.

GELBER HERCULES (M 510 Pfitzer, Germ., 52-52) Despite the fact that we have not bloomed this 
variety we are listing it because it made a highly favorable impression on us when we saw it growing. 
The large florets are a medium yellow and are well placed with 8 open on tall, strong spikes. We are 
listing it this year so that our customers will have an opportunity to try this fine glad as soon as possible.
