PURPLE TWEEDLE (Van Voorhis ’43) — 271 L 
A good purple — and tnere are very few small pur- 
ples, good, bad or indifferent. This one has added 
distinction of a large yellow lip that sets it off to 
advantage. Opens 5 on 15 bud spike. Excessive fer- 
tilizing will force florets beyond the 3% inch limit, 
but the variety is essentially and typically a small 
type glad. 
M. 2-25c; S. 3-25¢ 
RAGGEDY ANN (Plummer ’50) — 262 M 
Rose red heavily splashed cream, especially on lip 
area. Petals are long, pointed and have laciniated 
and scalloped margins, This is truly a novelty. 
Spikes are very tall and stretchy, many with 18 & 19 
buds. Easily opens 6 and 7 florets while one sensa- 
tional spike popped 10 open for me last season. Chief 
fault is tendency to crook. 
L. 35e¢ 
ROSETTE (Kuhn ’42) — 260 M 
A ruffled light rose similar in general habits to 
Crinkles, and certainly a strong contender to that 
variety’s Supremacy in the rose classes. Will open 
far more — 8 to 9, and I have seen 10 and 11 open. 
Placement not always too good, and sometimes 
erowded, but other virtues overshadow this infre- 
quent tendency. 
L. 2-25¢c; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢ 
ROSEMAID (Brown) — 260 E 
An old variety still worthy of growing. Light rose 
with deep throat is the color. It’s early and prolific. 
Never a crook. Florists like it. 
L. 2-25¢; M. 3-25¢; S. 5-25¢ 
RUBY (Kuhn ’46) — 252 E 
A fine all-around performer. Florets are pure dark 
red without markings, Four to 5 will open on 15 bud 
spikes. This is a must have. It will please you and 
win for you. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25e; S. 5-25¢ 
SAINT CECILE (Whitby ’49) — 206 M 
A dainty cream with pink suffusion and lavender 
throat stippling. Four to 5 open on 15 bud spikes. 
Saint Cecile is doing much better in the U. S. now 
that she is better oriented. 
L. 2-25c; M. 3-25¢; S. 5-25c 
SILVERSIDES (Kuhn 747) — 262 M

than ordinary color. Seventeen-bud spikes hold 6 
open and have 6 colored in vertical placement. 
L. 20c; M. 15c; S. 10c¢ 
SMILETTE (Sisson ’49) — 260 M 
Color is dusty rose with deeper rose lines on yellow 
throat. Slight ruffling adds distinction to this dif- 
ferent color combination. Opens 3 to 5 on compact 
spike of 14 to 15 buds. A very fine variety.

SPOT O’ ROSE (Kinyon ’50) — 201 M 
Here is a white with a big spot of rose — a rare 
and much needed color break in small whites. The 
spot is deep rose set in the center of the nicely 
rounded florets which are arranged alternately and 
close together. Five will open, while 4 are showing 
color and 8 are green. 
L. 35e; M. 25e; S. 15¢ 
SPUNKY (Fairchild ’51) — 280 E 
Spunky is a welcome addition to the smokys — our 
weakest color class in small type glads. It is dark 
smoky plum with a white picotee margin inherited 
from Atom, the pollen parent. Florets measure 2% 
inches, and 3 will open and 3 show color on spikes 
of 12 buds. 
M. $1.00; S. 75¢
