Patrol e e e e days) (Picardy x Golden 
Goddess) Here is a glad which is often prominent in 
the Court of Honor when the grandchampion is being 
chosen. Indeed, it often captures the top honor itself. 
Patrol is a luscious golden-buff, opening 8-9 glossy, 
opulent blooms on a shapely formal spike with abun- 
dant stretch. Patrol, Pactolus, Strawberry Peach, 
Manchu, and October Sunshine are all outstanding 
among the buffs.

Pauline eee 1952) (90 days) (Maid of 
Orleans x Star of Bethlehem) This plain-petalled 
white opens a long ribbon of bloom but craves water 
at blooming time. Acclimatizing may also be neces- 
sary before we see it at its best. We aren’t quite ready 
to call it the “improved Florence Nightingale.”

Happily named is this vigorous, tall light-blue with 
deep-violet blotch. A distinctive light blue that con- 
tributes variety to a very weak class. Include “Pfau- 
enauge” in your trial list.

(85 days) (May be a Heritage Seedling) If you want 
a very light salmon pink with a formal spike carrying 
a dozen close-set blooms on a good flowerhead, you 
will find it in Phantom Beauty. A very famous variety 
that is now down to a standard price. Phantom Beauty 
opens well in water and is an excellent keeper. Along 
with Picardy it is one of the American varieties that 
the Dutch saw fit to stock heavily.

This plain-petalled salmon-pink is definitely a com-

seen at shows.

Pink Dots x * (301) (75 days) (Orig-

petal. We got this curious novelty from our friend, 
Chuck Ruble, who has lost track of its origin. Seen in 
an arrangement, Pink Dots is very intriguing in its 
polka dot effect and invariably stops show visitors in 
their tracks. A single spike is less impressive.

Poinsettia eee (85 days) (Parent- 
age unknown) This vivid scarlet-red self with just a 
touch of frilling looks like an excellent cut-flower but 
its bulblets must be held over a year to insure germ- 
ination. Nonetheless, it has great commercial merit. 
You will love its refulgent color. Poinsettia will make 
a strong bid for popularity.

Quiberon e e e days) Quiberon sup- 
plants Susquehanna among the light-buffs. Its color 
is suede-smooth, blending to an inconspicuous yellow 
throat. Somewhat given to crooking, Quiberon is 
generous in its bud-count and, generally speaking, an 
all-around fine glad. With up to 26 buds and 11 open 
florets, Quiberon is beloved by exhibitors.

is different from most due to its J. S. Bach heritage.

Here is the highest-rated, largest, most vigorous, and 
most popular blue glad at the present time. Ravel 
opens eight large, round, flat-open florets on 55-inch 
bamboo stems. Color is a medium blue-violet with a 
garnet tongue. Not as pure in color as Better Times 
but otherwise superior. A really great “blue” glad.
