Lila Wallace * 1947) (80 days) 
(Early Rose x King Lear) Sumptuous light rose-red 
of tremendous substance and elegant ruffling. The 
American-beauty coloring, roundness and wide-open- 
ness of floret, the abundant inflorescence, and satin 
sheen contribute to an ensemble that is really stunning. 
But this glad is indeed loath to produce those spire-like 
spikes, unless given plenty of pampering. (At least it 
let us down last summer.) Lila Wallace was named 
for the wife of the publisher of the Reader’s Digest by 
the Wallaces’ pastor, Rev. Fairchild, who is also a lead- 
ing glad fan, author, and hybridizer.

Jersey-cream Toned CREAM ORCHIDS.
