LEIF ERICSSON (M 506 K & M, Holland 52) Several of the most impressive spikes 
in our garden this year came from this fine variety. Plants were up to 62” tall, with 
9 lightly ruffled 6” florets open on a 30” head carrying 19 buds. The florets are a light 
greenish cream with a somewhat deeper throat. A husky glad that it is a pleasure to 
grow and one which should win many championships. The best European variety in 
our garden this past summer.

MAZDA (M 416 Leffingwell 51) This fine variety has been overlooked, due to the 
limited amount of publicity at the time of its introduction. It is a salmon orange at 
the outside, shading to light yellow in the throat — quite similar in color to Patrol. 
Grows 55” tall with 18-22 buds on a 26” head, holding 8-10 well formed 5” florets 
open in excellent placement. A consistent and easy grower that produces beautiful 
spikes. [ts value as a show glad is proven while it looks like a better commercial pros- 
pect than any of the recognized leaders in its color class.

MOTHER FISCHER (EM 400 Fischer 51) In our garden this has been the outstanding 
all around white the past couple of years and we believe it is probably Carl Fischer’s 
best introduction. The spikes are very regular, reaching a height of 55”-60” with 20-21 
buds on a 28” head. Opens 7-8 ruffled creamy white 5” florets of excellent substance 
and outstanding beauty. It is a strong propagator and easy grower that has rapidly 
climbed to a high position in the NAGC Symposium for both exhibition and commer- 
cial use. 
Large $3.40 Medium  $.30 Small $.20 Bulblets 10-$.25 
PAINTED LADY (M 443 Roberts 52) A very different and striking glad which 
strongly appeals to us. The 514” ruffled florets are a medium pink with a large cream 
throat that has a deep pink border. The substance is heavy and growth habits are 
good. Grows up to 50” tall with 18 buds on a 26” head and 6 open. A very nice glad 
that you will remember. 
Large $.75 Medium $.50 Small $.30 Bulblets = 4-$.25 
POINSETTIA (LM 450 Johnson 52) Fine new light red with a beautiful clean color 
and well-formed florets with a nice little edge ruffle. Opens 7-8 on a 27” flowerhead 
and good tall spikes. Seems to have done well throughout the country and should 
become a leader for exhibition and commercial use — despite the fact that bulblets 
do not germinate easily unless peeled or held over a year. Received an NAGC Test 
Garden approval. 
Large $.50 Medium  $.35 Small $.25 Bulblets — 8-$.25 
PORTIA (EM 400 Larus 52) We had planned to advertise this variety this year as a 
potential leader among the whites for commercial use, but our stock is not large 
enough to permit it. Has always been one of the most consistent and fault-free glads 
in our garden. The 414”-5” florets are a lightly ruffled pure white with a small creamy 
buff throat — a real beauty. For us grows 507-55” tall with 17-19 buds on a 24”-27” 
head and 6 open in perfect placement. Some growers have reported considerably 
better performances. One of our favorites.
