CREAM (06-07). Of the clear creams, our choice is DIVINITY, with 
CREAM ORCHIDS a close second. Both are grand for arrangements and 
vases, LEIF ERICSSON, while not so refined in appearance, seems to bea 
comer both for exhibition and commercial use, as 1t opens many large florets 
at a time. COLUMBIA is by far the best cream-with-markings. Not a 
blotched glad, the markings of Columbia consist of a bright rose “halo” 
around all the petals. 
LIGHT YELLOW (10-11). One of the palest yellows is H. V. WRIGHT, a 
stalwart giant. GOLDEN DAWN seems about the best commercial prospect, 
though AUTUMN MOON is good for an early cutter. The smaller AUREOLE 
is a florist’s favorite. GOLDRUFF should be most valuable for high-class 
floral work, too. LARGO makes a stunning corsage; beautiful in bouquets, 
too. Among the small glads in this color, DRESDEN is a lovely thing with 
very ruffled florets. STATUETTE is one of the best little glads regardless 
of color. FROLIC is bright and bold; more showy than many glads three 
times its size! 
DEEP YELLOW (12-13). LODESTAR, FORSYTHIA, and FORT KNOX 
are all beautiful yellows; we find it hard to choose the best. GOLD is perhaps 
the loveliest of any in individual floret. We have always liked GARDEN 
GOLD for its size and bell-like flowers. A distinctly different new bi-toned 
yellow is PROSPECTOR. It may take time to work up a stock of this one, 
but it will be worth it. 
BUFF (16-17). SUN SPOT remains one of the greatest prize-winners of 
the last decade. REGINA is bigger and perhaps even more striking with its 
somewhat deeper, more vibrant coloring. In the small buffs, FIGURINE is it, 
as far as we are concerned. 
ORANGE (20-25). RUFFLED GOLD is a worthy newcomer here. Pal- 
mer’s SKYLARK has been a personal favorite of ours since its introduction. 
SUNSET GOLD from Australia seems extremely uniform in spike produc- 
tion, and is a good autumn color. SPRITE is a dandy orange in the medium 
size range. LITTLE GOLD seems to have a patent on its unique golden 
orange coloring. 
LIGHT SALMON (30-31). BERMUDA and CARMEN CORLISS are 
worthy rivals for the title of “Most Beautiful” glad, and each has won that 
award at least once. VISION will be heard from at the shows when more 
bulbs are distributed around the country. DELIGHT should win too. but we 
especially like it as a cut flower in this color. For the giant fan, PINK PRIDE 
and KING SIZE will satisfy that yen for mammoth spikes, while near the 
other extreme, little JINGLES delights all miniature fanciers. 
DEEP SALMON (32-33). BOISE BELLE has been the greatest prize- 
winner in this class, although DOLLY VARDEN and CORAL ACE are giving 
it some stiff competition. The latter two are of giant size, as is CHINOOK, 
another very fine show glad. THISISIT and COLOGNE are the most fragrant 
glads we know; both have medium sized flowers. In the smalls, PETER PAN 
is an established show winner. PIROUETTE and TWINKLES are perhaps 
more for the arranger and home gardener, though the latter often brings 
home the blue ribbons, too. 
SCARLET (36-37). The dividing line is rather fine between this class 
and the light reds; RED CHERRY and the new RED TAPE might be placed 
in either without much argument, and the same is true of the old faithful 
RED WING. RED TAPE seems quite an improvement; we have heard that 
it fades in hot sun but that was not our experience last summer, though we 
“J i took 77 ribbons this year, but the one on COLUMBIA gave me my big- 
gest kick; I had cut it on August 7th with one open and put it in a florist’s 
cooler. On August 15 it took a blue ribbon at Rochester.”’ —New York.
