BOISE BELLE 
From Nashville, Tennessee 
I have just received my order of bulbs sent you last fall. 
I’ve been fooling around with glads since 1938 and have 
bought a lot of bulbs from many growers but this is the 
finest looking lot I have ever received. All are young, 
vigorous looking bulbs. Do you send everyone those 
Tennis-ball bulbs?

BOISE BELLE 
(333) Roberts 1948 (98) 
A beautiful pink and yellow that opens up to 12 heavily 
ruffled florets of leathery texture. Practically all remaining 
buds will show color. Tall, vigorous, healthy grower. Makes 
quantities of small bulblets which germinate easily and make 
good sized bulbs. A top-notch commercial and show flower. 
Made to order for florist use. I know of no variety that can 
give so much enjoyment for so small amount of expense. 
Among its many winnings, Boise Belle was Reserve Grand 
Champion at the Central International show at Sioux City, 
Grand Champion at Algona, Iowa, and Grand Champion 
at Albert Lea, Minn. Later reports will undoubtedly show 
Boise Belle as one of the leading show winners of 1952.

BOLDFACE (533) Evans 1947 (82) 
A strikingly blotched variety that opens up to 8 huge 
florets of deep salmon with a throat marking of deep red 
on white. Produces massive spikes. Good propagator and 
average germinator. Boldface possesses an enviable show 
record,

(Blbts. 10-.25; 100-2.00) 
BRIDAL ORCHID 
(566) Carlson 1950 (85) 
A pastel lavender that opens up to 10 somewhat crowded 
florets on flowerheads of 20 to 24 buds. Usually flecked or 
streaked in hot, humid weather. Good bulblet producer but 
germination is only fair. Heavy winner on the show table; 
a good spike of Bridal Orchid is usually among the con- 
tenders for show champion. Best R. I. at the Jefferson, Wis., 
and Purdue shows. (1952) 
(L 1-.50; 10-4.00) (M 1-.40; 10-3.20) (S 1-.30; 10-2.40) 
(Blbts. 10-.50; 100-3.50) 
CANDLELIGHT 
(410) Arnett 1950 (60) 
A light yellow that blooms extremely early. Opens 5 of 
good placement and facing on a wiry stem. Excellent in- 
creaser. Valuable for its earliness. 
(L 1-1.00; 10-8.00) (M 1-.75; 10-6.00) (S 1-.50; 10-4.00) 
(Blbts. 10-.50; 100-4.00 ) 
CAPTAIN KIDD 
(452) Roberts 1950 (80) 
A rich, deep red—almost a black-red. Opens up to 8 florets 
of fine color on long flowerheads. Very tall, healthy grower. 
Good increaser and germinator. Captain Kidd really came 
to the fore in last summer's heat, looking crisp and fresh 
without any burning or fading. 
(L 1-.75; 10-6.00) (M 1-.50; 10-4.00) (S 1-.30; 10-2.40) 
(Blbts. 10-.50; 100-4.00) 
CATHERINE BEATH 
(312) Couts 1951 (88) 
A beautiful, smooth, deep yellow of very high rating. Opens 
up to 10 beautiful florets on very long flowerheads. Very 
healthy and vigorous. Good bulblet producer and excellent 
grower from bulblets. A top show flower and looks like a 
coming commercial.
