Salman’s Glory ***~ ©) (Sa 
ORO Oe] man, 7.1940) 
(68 days) Near the top among Dutch varieties is this 
immense light cream with scarlet blotch. Along with 
Friendship and Rose Charm, this is one of the out- 
standing “first early” glads. A magnificent bloomer 
from medium and small, although, of course, the me- 
diums will bloom about 10 days later than the large 
and the small 10 days later still. If you grow glads for 
cut-flowers, Salman’s Glory will be one of your impor- 
tant commercials.

Salman’s Sensation ~*~ 
(578) (Salman, 1953) (90 days) The first blue that we 
can recall growing to a height of five feet. Color is 
deeper than that of Ravel but not as deep as that of 
Abu Hassan. Makes a very impressive flowerhead 
with 6 or 7 large blooms.

Salute e e ¢ (Red Charm x Commando) This 
starchy new dress-parade scarlet opens 8-9 clean-cut 
round florets on erect flagpole spikes 60 inches tall. 
Some distant kinship with Regal Red and Tarawa is 
shown by the sharp white line in the throat. Salute 
is a very prepossessing scarlet-red of high color satura- 
tion and rugged health. A fantastic propagator.

Sandman e 0 days) (Picardy x Ro- 
sabella) We are happy to be able to restore this most 
beautiful of smokies to our list, whence poor propaga- 
tion had temporarily removed it. Sandman has superb 
sculptured florets of an old-rose hue with a sharp 
reverse blotch of ivory. What a spike maker! Please 
don’t clean us out of this entirely! For a color picture 
of Sandman, see page 24.

Named after Frederick the Great’s pleasure palace at 
Potsdam (“Without Care”), this spire-like scarlet 
beckons across the field. Its rounded florets have an 
easy grace, its color a lucent glow. Only a certain 
amount of lily flowering keeps it from being a perfect 
scarlet.

Seedlings, Unbloomed 
In planting my unbloomed seedling bulbs there are 
always quantities of bulblets that have fallen off the 
mother bulb and remain in the bottom of the tray. 
Instead of throwing these little gems away, they were 
planted to give my customers the thrill of looking over 
the unbloomed seedlings in search for that world- 
beater of tomorrow. Parents such as Beauty’s Blush, 
Friendship, Burma, Spic and Span, Pactolus, Crusader, 
Crown Jewel, Elmer’s Rose, Wedgwood, Elizabeth the 
Queen and choice seedlings were used. I heartily 
recommend that you indulge in this most fascinating 
pleasure of judging seedlings! Mecca, a 1951 introduc- 
tion from Rockley Gardens, came originally from a lot 
of unbloomed seedling bulbs such as I am offering 
again this year.

and towering spikes. Early.

Snow Clad o e e e (80 days) (Florence 
Nightingale x White Sport of Elizabeth the Queen) 
Here’s a new white that really meets with our ap- 
proval. Although advertised as ruffled, for us it came 
plain-petalled. But that’s immaterial! It was so clean- 
cut and starchy, so immaculately snowy (save for a 
rich cream throat), held so many open (7 even in dry 
weather), and every spike grew so tall (over 5 feet), 
that we’re enthusiastic about Snow Clad. We're giving 
you a good steer when we urge you to include this in 
your order. (L 1-1.50; 10-12.00) (M 1-1.25; 10-10.00)

Christmas x Dawn Glow) This love-at-first-sight glad 
is as white as the Greenland ice cap with 10 heavily 
fluted florets open at a time on spire-like spikes. An 
ideal exhibitor’s flower. Described in full on page 4 
and pictured on pages 6, 18, and on the back cover. 
“Your 269-47 (Snowdrift) was judged the best seed- 
ling at the North Carolina State Glad Show and was 
awarded the NEGS seedling ribbon.” 
—E. L. Setzler, North Carolina. 
Southern Belle ***~ 
(442) (Fischer, 1952) (75 days) (Friendship x Dawn 
Glow) From large bulbs Southern Belle produces 
campanile spikes right down the row, each so perfect 
and such a ribbon of bloom that one could cut show 
spikes blindfolded. From medium and small bulbs the 
spikes are amazingly large, too, making this a preco- 
cious cutter. In color Southern Belle is a vivid pink 
with a large, contrasty, snowy throat. Because of a faint 
smoky aura we transferred it to the smoky class. There 
may be some difference of opinion about this, but, as 
Mike Sherman, who writes the annual review of glad 
varieties for Flower Grower, says, no matter where 
one classifies it, Southern Belle will rate high. We 
feel sure that you will be more than delighted with 
this magnificent new glad. We think so highly of this 
noble glad that we’ve put $1000 into color plates of it.

“A well-satisfied old customer knocks again. Nordic 
Queen, Ginger, and Southern Belle looked particularly 
good last year.” —R. E. Bowland, Jr., Delaware. 
“Southern Belle is really TOPS in glads. This and 
Nordic Queen caused the most inquiries as to where 
we got them.” —Milton E. DeLaMater, New York. 
“This belle had a 32-inch flowerhead with 7 or more 
open florets. One to grow for blue ribbons.” 
—Marvin and Melvin Schrimpf, Wisconsin.
