THE RAJA (M 470 Jack 51) This is definitely one of the two best purples, and in our garden the 
past two years has been the best. The 514" lightly ruffled florets are a beautiful clean rose purple self 
and are strongly attached and generally well-placed on 26 ”.29" heads. Grows 55” tall with 7 of 17-19 
buds open. A strong. easy grower that consistently makes fine spikes with very attractive florets. 
One of the outstanding new glads and probably Milton Jack’s best. Picture on page 13.

VALDA (M 566 Barrett 51) A very attractive medium rose lavender capable of producing excellent 
spikes with 21 buds on a 28” head and 7-8 ruffled 534” florets open. Despite slight misplacement 
this is one of the best lavenders due to the fine clean color and regular growth habits.

VALENTINE (LM 421 Larus 52) This lovely orange has the ability to make outstanding spikes. 
The 5"-519" lightly ruffed florets are a medium salmon orange, blending lighter toward an eye-catching 
deep orange heart-shaped blotch. The combination is distinctive and we consider it very attractive. 
The spikes grow 60”-65”" tall with long tapering heads of 29”-32” with 18-20 buds. No other variety 
in our garden consistently produces taller spikes or longer heads. Despite some tendency towards 
loose attachment in hot weather, we have found it to be one of the best show glads we have.

VAN ISLE (M 590 G. White 52) One of the finest of the 1952 introductions. We were among the 
many growers who overlooked this one last year, but the spikes we saw this past summer quickly 
convinced us of our mistake. [ts outstanding qualities are the beautiful color and heavy substance of 
the florets, which are a brown mulberry with copper shadings and a large mulberry feather on a white 
background. The ruffled 6” florets have a heavier substance than any other variety we have seen. 
Grows 45"-50" tall with 12-16 buds and 5-6 open. Its magnificent florets overcome any other short- 
comings. 
Large $2.00 Medium $1.50 Small $1.00 Bulblets $25 
WHITE TOWER (M 501 Lins 51) One of the finest releases of the 1951 season and we believe the 
best variety in its class. Not well known, but the approval by the NAGC Trial Gardens will probably 
encourage more growers to try it. The 534" blooms are a cream white shading a little deeper in the 
throat and with a light red blotch. The florets are of heavy substance, well attached and very attractive. 
Spikes are 55”-60” tall with 18 buds on a 28” head and 7 open in good placement. ;
