base. One of the best growers in the garden with spikes up to 64” tall with 19 buds 
on a 29” head and 6 open. If you like the odd ones, we suggest you try Evolution.

FALCON (M 567 Woods 49) Definitely one of our favorite glads because of its striking 
orchid-like florets and the fine spikes. The 614” florets are heavily ruffled and are a 
medium rose lavender with a large cream yellow throat and a medium rose blotch. 
Grows 55”-60” tall with 6-7 open on a 24”-28” spike of 18-21 buds. An excellent variety 
for show use and one of our favorites as a cut flower. 
Large $.25 Medium  $.20 Small 2-$.25 Bulblets  15-$.25 
FORT KNOX (EM 412 Torrie 53) A new deep yellow self which we regard as one of 
the best of the darker yellows. The 5”-514” florets are a fine clean color and are lightly 
ruffled. Grows 50” tall with 20 buds on a 24” head and 7 open. Seems to be superior 
to some of the other more widely publicized deep yellows. 
Large $1.25 Medium $.75 Small $.50 Bulblets — -2.-$.30 
GELBER HERCULES (M 510 Pfitzer, Germ. 52-52) A tremendous grower that made 
spikes 60”-65” tall with 20 buds on a 30” head. The pale light yellow florets are 5” 
in diameter with 7-8 open in good placement. Lacks the beauty of some other glads 
but appears to be the strongest growing yellow with the possible exception of Sundance. 
Large $1.00 Medium $.75 Small $.50 Bulblets = 3-$.25 
GOLD (EM 412 Marshall 51) This highly publicized variety has become one of the 
most popular new commercials, largely due to the beauty of its clear deep yellow 
florets. Capable of producing spikes up to 65” tall with 7 of its 17 buds open on a 26” 
head, but normally produces a shorter head. Has won at the shows, but its real value 
is as a commercial. 
Large $.50 Medium $.35 Small $.25 Bulblets 10-$.35 
HAMLET (EM 454 Larus 50) This, our first introduction, has been successful as a 
show glad and is one of the best all around dark colored glads. Has won a good deal 
at the shows and is a good cut flower due to its regular growth and lovely dark red 
self florets. Does not burn, fleck or weather damage. Spikes are 55”-60” tall with 
8 5” florets open on a 25”-29” head. 
Large $.40 Medium  $.30 Small $.20 Bulblets 10-$.30 
HARRISBURGER (LM 536 Mikle 53) One of the outstanding 1953 introductions, 
following its approval in the 1952 NAGC Test Gardens as a seedling. The 6” florets 
are a clean deep scarlet. Grows 60” tall with 21 buds on a 31” head and 6-8 open. 
Should become a leading show winner, for it is one of the most attractive of the giant 
elads. 
Medium $1.50 Small $1.00 Bulblets $.25 
HEIRLOOM (M 566 Klein 52) One of the most controversial introductions in years 
due to the variable results reported. When at its best is one of the top show glads and 
a potential grand champion. The lovely 51%” florets are a clean medium lavender with 
a cream white throat. Probably will not be widely used as a commercia!, but certainly 
worth a real trial for exhibition use. ;
