NT mcr BOALO, 
PERSIAN RUG 
(486) Roberts 1950 (90) 
A very showy plum and rose with a prominent creamy throat 
blotch. Opens up to 8 lightly ruffled florets on an average 
spike. Good increaser and germinator. Persian Rug is 
very unusual and never fails to attract attention both in the 
garden and on the show table. 
(L 1-.75; 10-6.00) (1-.50; 10-4.00) (1-.30; 10-2.40) 
(Blbts. 4-.25; 10-.50; 100-4.00 ) 
POINSETTIA 
(450) Johnson 1952 (87) 
A rich, pure light red with no markings. Lightly ruffled. 
Opens up to 8 florets on a 25 inch flowerhead. Placement 
and attachment are excellent. Produces healthy, dark green 
foliage and makes nice looking bulbs. Good propagator but 
bulblets from bulb stock are difficult to germinate. How- 
ever, bulblets held over for one year will germinate perfectly. 
Germination from bulblet stock is fair to good. Poinsettia 
is a valuable addition to the light red class whether for cut- 
flower purposes or as an exhibition flower. One of the 
highest rated varieties in the 1950 NAGC test gardens. 
(L 1-1.00; 10-8.00) (M 1-.75; 10-6.00) (S 1-.50; 10-4.00) 
(Blbts. 5-.50; 10-.85; 100-7.50) 
RED WING (436) Wright 1948 (85) 
Red Wing belongs in most anyone’s list of “10 Best Glads.” 
This near-perfect scarlet opens up to 8 ruffled florets on 
long, stretchy spikes. Bulblet production and germination 
are excellent. Excellent spiker from small bulbs; even bulb- 
lets produce salable spikes. Tops as a cutflower or for 
exhibition. Red Wing was Grand Champion, 3. spike 
Champion, and Best R.I. at the 1952 LeRoy, IIl., show. Has 
a long list of winnings to its credit.

(Blbts. 15-.25; 100-1.50) 
RUTH ANN (567) Woods 1948 (75) 
A beautiful lavender with shades of deep pink and orchid. 
Opens up to 8 beautifully ruffled florets on average spikes 
but taller growth would be desired. Good bulblet producer 
and fine grower from bulblets.

healthy. Run-a-way propagator and near-perfect germinator. 
(L 1-.25; 10-2.00) (M 2-.25; 10-1.00) (S 10-.60)

A wonderful, rich shade of reddish purple. Opens 7 beauti- 
fully ruffled florets, nicely arranged on a tall spike. Healthy, 
vigorous, and produces great quantities of easily germinating 
bulblets. Very popular.
