ROYAL FLUSH (Barrett ’50) 552 (M). A grand, big dark red that makes a 
long ribbon of beautiful bloom. The nicely frilled petals exhibit a rich, velvety 
sheen that is most attractive, brightening up the color considerably. Up to eight 
or nine large frilled flowers are open at a time on tall spikes. Royal Flush is 
one of our top favorites, and we predict a grand future for this fine red. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S .75, Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00. 
ROYAL SCOT (formerly Royalty) (Taylor ’52) 470 (HM). A very good-looking 
new purple which is quite distinct. Seems to have less red and more blue in its 
pigmentation than most of the popular purples, and the smooth coloring is prac- 
tically without markings. Florets are round, tightly attached, medium-large in 
size, with six open at once. Grows very tall and straight. An excellent propa- 
gator, germinator, and grower from bulblets. This was one of the best of all 
the new glads we had on trial last summer. 
L $2.00, M $1.25, S .75, Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.20, 100—$9.00. 
ROYAL TREAT (Lins 752) 452 (M). A Burma seedling that we liked very 
much. Although grown from quite small bulbs, they did remarkably well, mak- 
ing fine spikes with up to seven nicely ruffled flowers open. The color is darker 
and slightly redder than Burma; rosy-maroon with an attractive sheen. Almost 
a black-red as it grew here. An extra good propagator. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .50, Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.20, 100—$9.00. 
RUTH LORENE (Fuller 52) 410 (M). A recently discovered sport of Spotlight; 
apparently a mutation in form as well as in color. Not only is the scarlet throat 
spot missing, but the florets of Ruth Lorene are of different shape, and it will 
hold more open at a time. Sometimes florets are semi-double, with extra petals. 
The color is a smooth and attractive light yellow. Well worth trying for its 
commercial and novelty value. 
L or M $1.00, S. 75, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00. 
SEQUIN (Palmer ’49) 410 (EM). A lovely, tall, medium-light yellow without 
markings. We have found it to be an excellent cutflower yellow for local use. 
We think it has been somewhat overlooked; better try Sequin, now that it is 
lower in price. A fine grower and a good propagator. 
S 2—.25, Bulblets 15—.25. 
SHERWOOD (Pruitt ’48) 570 (M). In spite of the advent of several new 
purples, Sherwood continues to give a very good account of itself. It put on 
a marvelous show for us last summer, refusing to take a back seat to any of the 
newer ones. The huge, broad florets are a very smooth red-purple with a deeper 
purple throat. Rather close to the color of King David, but without the silver 
edge. Petal texture is silky, substance fairly good. Florets are fluted and needle- 
pointed, with seven or eight open at a time. Really a grand purple. If you can’t 
yet afford King David, try Sherwood. You won’t be disappointed. 
M 2—.25, S 3—.25, Bulblets 35—.25. 
SIERRA SNOW (Harris ’51) 400 (EM). A large white that seems even bigger 
than it is when its nine or ten flowers open at once on the tall spikes. The color 
is clear except for faint dullish lavender throat lines which do not exactly add 
to its beauty. Flowerheads may be slightly brittle; we had a few of them snap 
off before opening, probably due to birds alighting on them. However, most 
of our plants developed into show spikes of grand championship caliber. A good 
propagator, with fair bulblet germination. Ranks third best white in N.A.G.C. 
Symposium. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50, Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00. 
SKYLARK (Palmer ’48) 523 (EM). A very bright orange with golden yellow 
lip petals and midribs; outstanding in color value. A fine home garden flower, 
and valuable for local cutflower use. Admired by everyone for its brilliant color 
and uniform spikes of medium height. One of the best orange glads. 
L .20, M 2—.25, S 3—.25, Bulblets 30—.25, 100—.75.
