KING SIZE (Hartman '53) 531 (M). Giant of giants, a huge medium-light pink with deep pink throat 
markings. Up to 8 or 9 open ata time on very tall, strong spikes. Surely a must for the exhibitor. 
L 3.00, M2.00, $1.00, Bulblets .25, 10-2.00 
LARGO (Roberts '53) 411 (M). Light yellow with some pink shadings and pink petal tips. A totally 
unique and lovely combination of these colors. Six or seven nicely ruffled florets are open on fair 
spikes. More notable for beauty than for stretch of spike, as flowerheads are often rather short. 
L 2.00, M1.50, $1.00, Bits .25, 10-2.00, 100-15.00 
LAVENDER BEAUTY (Kolb '50) 466 (M). A lovely pinkish lavender of uniform coloring; a true orchid 
shade that is just a little pinker than that of Tyrone or Elizabeth the Queen. Seven large, nicely 
frilled florets open at once on good uniform spikes. Good grower and a fast propagator. 
L.20, M2-.25, S 3-.25, Blts 20-.25, 100-1.00 
LEAH GORHAM (Gorham '51) 451 (EM). Excellent bright medium red with a showy white center. 
A dandy cutflower glad in this color, with good plant habits including fine growth and increase. 
L.30, M.20, S 2-.30, Blts 10-.25, 100-2.00 
LILA WALLACE (Fairchild '47) 464 (E-EM). Bright medium rose with deep rose lip petals. Good. 
L 2-.30, M2-.20, S 3-.25, Blts 40-.25, 100-.50 
LODESTAR (Palmer '50) 412 (EM). A really beautiful yellow with lovely clear color and fine 
full spikes of medium height. About the prettiest yellow we know of. 6-8 large flowers open. 
L.25, M2-.30, S 3-.25, Blts 20-.25 
LOOK (Taylor-Rockley '53) 540 (M). A very promising new light pink that looks as if it would become 
a topnotch commercial. It opens at least six very large flowers on tall slender spikes that are a joy to 
cut. Plant habits apparently all to the good. One of the best things we had in our trial garden. 
L 2.00, M1I.50, $1.00, Bits .20, 10-1.60 
MARGERY (Melk '53) 462 (EM). Fine new medium rose glad with a small deeper rose feather. 
Sometimes has a little deeper flecking which does not detract. About the same shade of rose as 
Lila Wallace but with round, fuller florets, of which eight are open at once. Good attachment 
and regular floret placement. Very bright and attractive, and a glad everyone will want to grow. 
L 3.00, M2.00, $1.25, Blts .40, 10-3.00, 100-24.00 
MARVELOUS (Lins '5!1) 443 (ML). Bright medium pink with a scarlet blotch; very heavily ruffled 
florets. Nearly everyone who sees it likes it for its lovely color and ruffling. Rather short flowerhead. 
L1.00, M.70, S .30, Blts 2-.25, i0-1.00 
MESA MIST (Hartman '52) 486 (M). Soft lavender gray of practically self color that is the closest 
approach to a true gray color in glads. Six good sized florets are open on tall spikes. Fine novelty. 
L!.00, M.75, S .50, Bits 4-.25, 10-.50 
MOTHER FISCHER (Fischer '51) 400 (EM). Clear white with very slight lavender throat markings 
which do not appreciably detract. It will open seven on very tall stems that are always straight. 
L.40, M.30, S$ .20, Bits 10-.25 
MRS. RHODA PETERSON (Menzies '5!) 582 (E). Plant this smoky to bloom early and it will reward 
you with some grand flowers. If weather is hot it should be cut when | or 2 florets are open, as it 
will fade in hot sunshine. Dark gray smoky with lighter throat; many large ruffled florets. 
L.50, M.35, S$ .25, Bits 10-.30 
NORDIC QUEEN (Fischer '52) 540 (EM). Very large pale pink with an inner glow of cream from the 
center; a lovely pastel shade. Florets are not heavily ruffled, but are lightly waved and quite fluted 
with raised midribs. Makes some shorter spikes but they average good here. A real beauty. 
L .75, M.50, S$ .35, Blts 4-.25, 10-.50
