NEW INTRODUCTION 
Based on the results of the 1954 NAGC Symposium vote of 79 American and Cana- 
dian growers, we have introduced from one to three of the top LO new varieties in each 
of the past four years. These include Blue Devil, Leah Gorham, Rosita, Princess and 
King Size, each of which rated in the top three for their respective years. In our last 
year's catalog we predicted that Princess and King Size would be at the top of the 1953 
introductions — they rated first and second respectively among the many American 
and Canadian varieties. ; 
Again in 1954 our co-introduction, Tan-Glo, should prove to be one of the most 
outstanding of all the new ones. 
1954 Release TAN-GLO Class 480 
Late Midseason (Arenius) Conn. Yankee x Eliz. the Queen 
During the past two years we have admired this seedling at the shows. Its wins 
include Best Seedling and Grand Champion at Glens Falls, 1952; Best Seedling at 
Connecticut, 1953; and Best 5 Spike Seedling at Binghamton, 1953. 
The 514” florets are a light tan, shading a little lighter towards the center. The 
color is clean and does not fleck, but the outstanding feature of the variety is its ability 
to open 8 to I1 of its 24 buds on long 30” flowerheads. The spikes are 60” tall and the 
growth vigorous. Propagation and germination are both very good. 
This variety is being introduced as a smoky, class 480, but we would class it as 496 
(A.O.C.). Whichever it is, it seems certain to become the leading exhibition variety in 
its class. The ability to open many in perfect placement on long flowerheads makes this 
one of the really outstanding show glads while its value is increased by the fact that it 
is in one of the most popular color ranges.
