Palmer was in saying that virtually all the great glads 
come from 5% of the potential parents! The six-inch, 
saucer-like florets of Burma are lavishly fluted and 
frilled. Make this a cornerstone of your glad collec- 
tion!

C.D. Fortnam **++ NOONE TSG 
days) (Red Penny x Myrna) Named for the late C. D. 
Fortnam, the greatest glad exhibitor of his time, this 
Kadel origination is one of the supreme beauties in our 
list. Our picture on page 24 is fairly accurate but 
scarcely pink enough. The actual color is a waxy pale 
rose-pink blending to a slight creaminess in the throat: 
The heavy substance, intense frilling and fine spike 
length complete a truly ravishing ensemble. A deli- 
cately colored glad is either very, very poor (if it has 
poor substance) or very, very good (if of heavy sub- 
stance and waxy texture). C. D. Fortnam is indeed 
very, very good.

Carnival Se) 2s?) days) (Flagship: sce Al 
gonquin) The pictures on pages 11 and 24 tell the story 
of this white-throated scarlet-red better than words. 
Carnival is a bright scarlet-red with a large snowy 
throat—truly a realistic exemplification of the gay 
carnival spirit.

Chamouny ©) © 62s 8ordays) Red Lory = 
Picardy) The bright cerise-rose shade of this glad is 
most unusual. One of the oldest glads in this catalog, 
Chamouny is still going strong, one reason for its pro- 
longed popularity being the fact that women are par- 
ticularly fond of this color. Also, cerise-rose is, next 
to true blue, perhaps the hardest of all hues to capture 
in glad hybridizing. In addition to an unusual basic 
color, Chamouny’s florets have an engaging touch of 
silver picoteeing at the edge of all petals. -Sometimes 
comes short.

e ¢ (Axioma x Regenbogen) Named 
after the sorceress in the Odyssey who wove a spell 
over Odysseus and his men by her elaborate repasts, 
this glad will weave quite a different kind of spell over 
fanciers who bloom it in their gardens. Circe is a 
massive, plain-petalled scarlet-orange with a small 
cream marking in the throat. Our picture on page 21 
reveals the fine spike Circe produces but doesn’t quite 
catch its soft, yet bright, in-between shade of scarlet- 
orange,

This new lavender from the Pacfic Coast will appeal 
to exhibitors who like to display towering spikes with 
10-12 open blooms. Plant it early, however, if you 
want to bloom it by show time, for it ranks with Regal 
Red as the latest bloomer in this catalog. Col. Atkin- 
son is practically a self-color: very deep lavender, 
nearly midway between lavender and purple. Not 
exactly a glad to go into ecstasies over, but a sure 
prizewinner when the judges start tallying buds and 
blooms. A formal spike-maker with round, flat-open 
florets. Well worth trying.

Columbia ee e « (80 days) (((Picardy 
x Puritan) X Myrna) X Corona) Columbia was put 
out as an improved Corona and that is exactly what 
it appears to be. If this proves as vigorous as it is 
beautiful, it is bound to go far. Columbia opens about 
eight florets round as a full moon, each with a lacing 
or corona of pink at the edge. The ground color is 
creamy white. The whole flower exhibits much more 
refinement than its pollen parent. I think you will 
concur with our high rating of Columbia.

(441) (Schenetsky, 1944) (85 days) This magnificent 
light pink, with small reddish spearhead deep in the 
throat, which produces show spikes with eight to ten 
open florets right down the row, was a shade below 
par last season. Our picture on page 24 is slightly too 
pale but reveals the massive type of show-spike which 
Conn. Yankee customarily produces.

spikes of a warm, bland salmon pink. Our picture on

Cream Orchids * oe gs char WROnT) 
(70 days) (Rose O’Day x Poet’s Dream) From Shirley 
Temple (a parent of Poet’s Dream) comes the creamy 
color and waxy texture of this exotic new glad. Cream 
Orchids is the second most beautiful cream-colored 
glad in existence in my estimation. The most beautiful 
one, Connie G., is such a weak grower here that I did 
not dare to catalog it. Perhaps it does better else- 
where, but in this locality the admittedly potentially 
gorgeous Connie G. won’t make more than one tall 
spike in ten, whereas Cream Orchids will make prime
