Pennant ome em days) (GretanG at bo ox 
Elizabeth the Queen) Pennant comes from the same 
cross and the same originator as Evangeline. It resem- 
bles it in color but not in bud formation. Pennant is 
absolutely formal with no misplacement. Tall. Husky! 
Commercial cut-flower growers have taken to this 
variety.

Pink Chiffon 2 (553) Gs tno 
(Seedling of Lavender & Gold x Dawn Glow) A re- 
incarnation of the most famous orchid-pink of yester- 
year, Rima, but of quite different parentage and a 
commendable grower and propagator. Pink Chiffon is 
so ethereal, such an airy dream both in color and in 
grace of form that an arrangement of it literally sweeps 
one off one’s feet. It’s as frothy as pink cotton candy 
at a county fair. When you can cut an armful of this 
gossamer beauty for an arrangement in your home, 
you'll be looking for new superlatives to describe its 
beauty. Duplicates the finest shades of expensive or- 
chids and roses. Pictured on page 38.

“Pink Chiffon is very, very beautiful and I’m sure it 
will be established as one of the world’s most out- 
standing pinks.” 
—C. L. Clark, Iowa. 
“Pink Chiffon was the lovely, dainty pink you claim 
it to be and an outstanding all-around performer.” 
Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Hendricksen, Minnesota. 
“Pink Chiffon is incomparably beautiful.” 
—Robert Fietz, New York. 
“This morning I got such a thrill as I never have 
experienced since I saw my first spike of Leading 
Lady. Pink Chiffon was open with 3 florets. The 
spike is one you would be proud to take to the Inter- 
national. The color is simply breathtaking and all and 
more than you said it was. My bulblets grew 100%.” 
—Harold E. Janes, Wisconsin. 
Pink Diamond 443 (40. Gisch”

for your garden. This sparkling light pink with spire- 
like spikes is both a connoisseur’s delight and a com- 
mercial prospect. Described in full on page 3 and 
pictured on pages 5 and 6 and on the back cover. 
“76-47 (Pink Diamond): Lovely! Won first at Water- 
loo (Iowa State Show). I raved over this when I 
first saw it at Madison. 269-47 (Snowdrift): Best and 
most beautiful of all whites! I love a ruffled glad— 
guess that’s why I fell so hard for 269-47.” 
—Etta Feye, Iowa.*

Pink Dots x44 (301) (75 days) (Orig- 
inator and _ parentage 
unknown) White with a pink dot at the tip of each 
petal. We got this curious novelty from our friend, 
Chuck Ruble, who has lost track of its origin. Seen in 
an arrangement, Pink Dots is very intriguing in its 
polka dot effect and invariably stops show visitors in 
their tracks. A single spike is less impressive.

Poinsettia o ee (85 days) (Parent- 
age unknown) This vivid scarlet-red self with just a 
touch of frilling looks like an excellent cut-flower but 
its bulblets must be held over a year to insure germ- 
ination. Nonetheless, it has great commercial merit. 
You will love its refulgent color. Poinsettia will make 
a strong bid for popularity.

Prospector (oo 1953) (3s days) 
(Derived from Golden Goddess, Royal Gold, and vari- 
ous seedlings) This towering rich yellow with a model 
flowerhead of 20 buds and about 8 open florets was 
one of the “finds” of the 1953 season. Flat-open round 
blooms, heavy substance and a touch of ruffling com- 
plete a most impressive ensemble. Heartily recom- 
mended.

Quiberon ee e days) Quiberon sup- 
plants Susquehanna among the light-buffs. Its color 
is suede-smooth, blending to an inconspicuous yellow 
throat. Somewhat given to crooking, Quiberon is 
generous in its bud-count and, generally speaking, an 
all-around fine glad. With up to 26 buds and 11 open 
florets, Quiberon is beloved by exhibitors.

Here is the highest-rated, largest, most vigorous, and 
most popular blue glad at the present time. Ravel 
opens eight large, round, flat-open florets on 55-inch 
bamboo stems. Color is a medium blue-violet with a 
garnet tongue. Not as pure in color as Better Times 
but otherwise superior. A really great “blue” glad.

Recompense *—— hey ah ee 
This skyscraper yellow with tiny red blotch throws up 
an imposing 11 storey facade and finally goes “whoosh” 
into a lofty spire. It may be a slight exaggeration, 
however, to refer to it as “tree-size”. A heavy seller 
last year. The spike shown on the back cover shied 
away from the camera so that its real size is not ap- 
parent. Recompense usually runs to 22 buds—unusual 
in a yellow.
