Regular aud Commercial Varieties 
Don’t let anyone tell you that these old timers are not just as beautiful as most of the 
newer introductions, for the truth is, most of the varieties on this list have been around for 
quite a few years and perform reliably in all parts of the country. Quite a few of the newer 
ones will fall by the wayside long before those in this group. 
Few glads will ever equal the 
shear beauty of Spic & Span, Elizabeth the Queen, Burma and Picardy or win as many blue 
ribbons at the shows as they have. Of course, that’s perhaps part of the satisfaction of growing 
the newer ones—trying to find that world beater. You get lots for your money in this group, 
but do try a few of the new ones too.
