PARMA VIOLET (Vawter ’52) — 279 M 
Here, indeed, is a new variety that will prove an 
asset to a sparcely represented color class. Parma 
Violet will top the older representatives in stature 
and number of florets open, as 6 to 8 open on spikes 
of 17 and 18 buds is its capanility. Color is medium 
blue with a conspicuous deeper blue blotch that 
is set off by a neat border of white. Facing and 
placement good with never a crook. And here’s an- 
other virtue you’d probably not expect in a “blue”: . 
bulbs are healthy and produce large bulblets that 
grow well. Actually, it was a mistake to bring out 
Parma Violet last year when the stock was still 
quite smali. The demand was so great that both the 
originator, Mrs. Vawter, and myself sold down to 
planting stock and bulblets. For this reason it is 
necessary to retain the original introductory price 
another year, which is 
$2 for any size bulb 
PEGGY ANN (Vasaturo ’48) — 240 E 
Very tall and stretchy and one of the strongest con- 
tenders in the pink class. Will open 6 medium pink 
florets with white lips and rose stippled throats on 
tall stretchy spikes. 
L. 20c; M. 15e; S. 10e 
PELLETIER D’OISY (Lemoine) — 290 M 
Here is one of the strangest of all glads — a sure 
winner in the A.O.C. class, and an “Oh” and ‘‘Ah” 
getter if there ever was one. The women call it 
chartreuse, which is to say it is yellow-green with 
orange edging and stippling. Nothing like it in any 
other glad. Stock is very scarce. Those who order 
late will be disappointed as demand excesds My sup- 
ply of saleable bulbs every year. 
L. or M. $1.00 each 
PERKY (Hubler ’42) — 236 M 
This is a favorite of mine and a consistent ribbon 
winner. Seldom has to face Osage on the show 
table as the former is early while this one comes 
along later; otherwise it wouid be a toss-up. There 
is some marbling in the scarlet florets, 5 to 7 of 
which will open on tall willowy spikes. 
L. 2-25¢e; M. 3-25¢; S. 5-25¢ 
PETER PAN (Butt 50) — 233 M 
A heavily ruffled deep orange with deeper orange 
throat mark. Opens 6 to 7 well attached 34-3% 
inch florets on good spikes of 15 to 17 buds. An- 
other fine ruffled creation of Butt, which like his 
Bo-Peep and Twinkles gets its crinkling and sub- 
stance from his oider Crinklette. 
L. 50c; M. 35c; S. 25e 
PINK BUTTERFLY (Van Voorhis ’42) — 241 E 
Dainty pink with a crimson streak on creamy throat. 
Opens 4 to 5 on nice spike of 15 buds. 
L. 2-25¢c; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢ 
PINK RIBBON (Spencer ’42) — 240 E 
One of the leading ribbon winners in the small pinks. 
Spikes are tall and stretchy, holding 4 to 6 open 
florets. These are light pink with deep pink stippling 
on a cream throat. Every one likes it. 
L. 2-25e; M. 3-25e; S. 5-25¢ 
PINOCCHIO (Evans ’40) — 290 M 
A novelty variety whose ruffled florets are an odd 
blend of pink, orange, red, and chartreuse, the 
whole coming out “any other color.’ Overall mien 
of this fetching glad is that of a small type glad, 
and as a matter of fact florets of a goodly percent- 
age of spikes measure less than 3% inches. Five or 6 
will open in airy arrangement of 15 to 17 buds per 
spike. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢ 
“Bulbs were received in good condition. I wish to than. 
you for the generous way in which you filled my order, It 
was like Santa Claus coming in March.’’—C.M.P., Ind.
