exhibition and commercial use. The florets are a clean light red with a striking and attractive white 
blotch. Grows 55-65” tall with no crooking, and has 18-22 buds on a 26"-30" head. The 5” florets 
are strongly attached and perfectly placed with 5-7 open. Propagation 1s good and it is an easy grower. 
It has the remarkable ability to consistently produce excellent spikes from large and medium bulbs. 
A heavy show winner and one of our favorites. Seems certain to become a top commercial.

MAZDA (M 416 Leffingwell 51) This fine variety has been overlooked, due to the limited amount of 
publicity at the time of its introduction. It is a salmon orange at the outside shading to light yellow 
in the throat — similar to Patrol. Grows 55” tall with 18-22 buds on a 26” head and 8-10 well formed 
5" florets open in excellent placement. A consistent and easy grower that produces beautiful spikes. 
Its value as a show glad is proven and it looks like a fine commercial prospect.

MOTHER FISCHER (EM 400 Fischer 51) During the three years that we have grown this variety, 
which is possibly Carl Fischer’s best, it has become our favorite all around white. The 5” florets are a 
ruffled creamy white of excellent substance and outstanding beauty. Spikes are very regular, reaching 
a height of 55-60" with 20 buds on a 27” head. Opens 8 florets in excellent placement. A strong prop- 
agator and easy grower that has quickly climbed to a high position in the NAGC Symposium for both 
exhibition and commercial use. We highly recommend this fine glad.

NOWETA ROSE (M 566 Fischer 50) Another of Carl's best, this one has climbed rapidly to the top 
of the ladder as an exhibition glad. Its ability to open 8 to 12 rose lavender 514” florets in good double 
placement has been a large factor in its outstanding show record. The spikes are 55” to 60” tall with 
20-24 buds on a 23”-29” head. Well deserving of its fine reputation as a top show glad.

PAINTED LADY (M 443 Roberts 52) A very different and striking glad which appeals to us. The 
5" ruffled florets are a medium pink with a large cream throat bordered deep pink. Substance is heavy 
and growth habits are good. Grows 50” tall with 18 buds on a 26” head and 6 open. A very nice cul 
flower for house use. 
Large $1.50 Medium $1.00 Small $.60 Bulblets — 2-$.25 
PORTIA (EM 400 Larus 52) One of the loveliest whites and our favorite cut flower of the whites and 
creams. The 414" to 5” lightly ruffled pure white blooms have a small creamy buff throat. Grows to 
a height of 50-55” with 16-19 buds on a 24"-26” flowerhead and 6 open in perfect placement. During 
the 6 years we have grown this one it has been one of the most consistent and faultless glads in our 
garden, and enthusiastic reports from other growers indicate that it has a promising future as a com- 
mercial due to its beauty and reliability. A strong propagator that is very healthy and does not crook 
or misplace. Attachment is strong. Opens to top when cut in bud. :

QUIBERON (LM 416 Errey, Aus., 46-49) One of four varieties which have each won two grand 
championships for us. Of all the varieties we have grown this is certainly one of the “best bets” for 
Champion. The 5"-519" ruffled florets are a lovely peach buff, shading to a deeper salmon at the edges 
and to a light yellow throat. Grows 65”-70” tall with 22-25 buds on a 28"-32” head and 9-11 open. 
Despite slight crooking and misplacement this is an outstanding variety. An easy grower and a good 
propagator. 
Large $.35 Medium $.25 Small 2-$.25 Bulblets 10-$.25 
ROSITA (EM 563 Woods 52) In our garden this was probably the outstanding 1952 introduction. The 
florets are a medium rose, slightly lighter at the edges and blending into a deeper lavender rose blotch 
— somewhat similar to Chamouny, Betty’s Choice, Early Rose, Gwen and Folklore. We consider 
the 514"-6" heavily ruffled florets quite attractive. The spikes grow 55"-60” tall with 19-21 buds, a 
27-31" head and 7-8 strongly attached and well-placed florets open. A strong propagator and vigorous 
grower. At the Rhode Island show we set up a fine spike which was runner-up to Princess for Grand 
Champion. It is also an excellent commercial prospect.
