NOWETA ROSE (Fischer '50) 568 (EM). Dark rosy lavender with a red-violet throat spear. Florets 
are large, waved and fluted. -8-10 open on tall stems. Usually plenty of buds, but they are spaced 
rather close making the spike appear somewhat crowded and slightly lacking in stretch. However, it 
can make a sensational spike and it is a frequent winner at the shows. Much admired in our garden. 
L.40, M.30, S$ .20, Blts 10-.30 
OKINAWA (Loar '50) 381 (M). Light chocolate brown usually flecked deeper brown. The throat 
markings are rather odd - a combination of dark gray and red. Not too tall but it opens a lot of 
flowers ata time. One of the best of the medium sized smokies and a fine show glad. 
L .20, M2-.25, S 3-.25, Blts 25-.25, 100-.80 
PAINTED LADY (Roberts '52) 443 (M). There are lots of pink glads, but here is one that is truly 
different. Pure pink, with the creamy white lip petals outlined and bordered bright scarlet-pink. 
Florets are ruffled and fluted and six will open ata time. Stem below first floret a little short. 
L .75, M.50, S .30, Bits 4-.25, 10-.50, 100-4.00. 
PAULINE (G.W. Wright '52) 400 (EM). New large tall pure white that performed well for us the 
past season. Color clear and good, and it opens about seven on tall stems. Good increaser. 
L1.00, M.75, S$ .50, Blts 10-.35, 100-2.50 
PENNANT (Palmer '52) 440 (ML). A beautiful soft shade of pink with never a fleck or streak to mar 
its perfection of color. Opens a lot of flowers at once - 8 or |0 - on spikes of moderate height. 
Has more color than Phantom Beauty, and seems an improvement on that variety and Evangeline. 
L.75, M.50, S .25, Blts 5-.25, 10-.40, 100-3.00 
PERSIAN RUG (Roberts '50) 486 (M). Always a center of attraction is this unique combination of 
smoky mulberry and rose, with a very large cream-yellow center. 6-8 large flowers are usually 
but not always well placed on fair spikes. Rather variable growth but a great novelty. 
L.50, M.35, S .20, Bits 10-.30, 100-2.40 
PINK CHIFFON (Fischer '53) 440-460 (EM). A clear and refined light orchid pink shading lighter 
toward the center. One of the prettiest of the very light-toned glads; florists could use this.

PINK PRIDE (Arenius '52) 530 (EM). Very large and very tall is this medium light pink with a 
deeper pink feather. We have heard that it sometimes flecks, but it has been clear here. A 
rival of King Size for floret size; not quite as tall altho tall enough. Prettier than many giants. 
L 1.50, M1.00, S .50, Bits 2-.25, 10-1.00 100-8.00 
POINSETTIA (Johnson-Weeks '52) 450 (M). Excellent scarlet of uniform coloring and the ability 
to make consistently good spikes. It opens six to eight good-sized flowers on fine tall spikes. 
Bulblets rather hard to germinate without special treatment. You will like Poinsettia. 
L .50, M.35, S$ .20, Blts 10-.40, 100-3.06 
PRESTO (Roberts '52) 401 (EM). Sometimes comes a clear white, sometimes flushed pink, but an 
attention-getter either way ; its very prominent pink-scarlet blotch attracts immediate attention. 
Florets are rather plain appearing, in fact Presto is about the only non-ruffled glad we have intro- 
duced. However, it is very popular with those who favor strongly blotched varieties.

PRINCESS (Larus '53) 466 (M). A rather deep but bright and attractive rosy lavender, with faint 
rose lines toward the throat. Florets are nicely frilled, with raised and fluted midribs. Princess 
is a tall grower that looks to be an excellent commercial prospect. 8-10 open at a time. 
L 2.00, MI.50, $1.00, Blts .30, 10-2.40 
PROSPECTOR (Leffingwell '53) 412 (E-EM). Beautiful light yellow with deeper buff-yellow lip 
petals. The six or seven open florets are beautifully frilled and crimped at the edges.
