MEDIUM ROSE (62-63). The tall spikes of ROSITA put on a grand show 
in our planting last summer. MARGERY and GLAD TIDINGS were also the 
recipients of much praise from garden visitors. JUNE ROSE cuts nicely and 
the florists like its bright color. BURMA ROSE is a lighter colored Burma 
sport that should give the other rose glads some competition. We have al- 
ways liked bright-colored, ruffled ELMER’S ROSE, and the plainer but taller 
and larger TRAIL’S END. 
DEEP ROSE (64-65). Specializing as we do in the newer glads, we have 
to discard a number of older varieties each year. BURMA was one of those 
discontinued a couple of years ago. It never grew too well here, but is still 
one of the big prize winners in this class. We stick with LILA WALLACE 
and ROSY FUTURE as worthy representatives. There is still plenty of room 
for superior new glads in this color. 
LIGHT LAVENDER (66-67). LAVENDER BEAUTY and PRINCESS 
are our nominations for tops in all-around utility here. Both seem to be ex- 
cellent cutflower sorts, as well as formidable competitors on the show table. 
HEIRLOOM could probably stand a little more height, but it grows about as 
tall as TYRONE here, and florists take all we can cut of both varieties. 
CROWN JEWEL is not too large but can make very nice spikes. For beauty 
we doubt if anything can touch FALCON, FRANCESCA, and smaller 
WEDGWOOD; three really lovely glads. 
DEEP LAVENDER (68-69). No other variety has the deep but brilliant 
rose-lavender coloring shown to such good advantage by NOWETA ROSE. 
Very popular, in spite of some faults. We place BRIER and VALDA with 
the deep lavenders, although they are officially classified 62 and 66, respec- 
tively. We like BRIER especially well. 
PURPLE (70-71). KING DAVID, THE RAJAH, and WONDER BOY are 
the leaders here; three great glads. BRANDYWINE is a comer in a different 
shade of dark wine purple. ROYAL SCOT is a fine tall grower, and HARRIET 
is lovely in slightly smaller floret size. KAREN may not actually belong in 
this class, but it is a glad that is likely to achieve considerable popularity 
with its unusual coloring. 
LIGHT AND DARK BLUE (76-79). LAVENDER BLUE, a color sport 
from the Knight “tall strain” of Elizabeth the Queen, does seem to grow 
taller than regular Elizabeth, and we liked its unique coloring. BLUE BOY 
is nearer true blue, and quite a nice glad. The only dark violet-blue we grow 
is BLUE DEVIL; quite an eye-catcher. 
SMOKY (80-86). Nearly everyone seems to like the modern smokies; 
most of them have softer, more pleasing combinations of color than the older 
ones. GRAY SUMMIT, MESA MIST, MRS. RHODA PETERSON, and 
STORMY WEATHER are a quartet that should please most smoky fanciers. 
SOUTHERN BELLE, really a pink, and HI JINKS, STORM TERROR ,and 
DESERT DUSK are a little more highly colored. PERSIAN RUG is quite 
brilliantly contrasting in its varied tones, while OKINAWA, more subdued 
but not drab, is a good show glad. 
ANY OTHER COLOR (A.0.C.) (90-91). CHEROKEE and COPPER LUS- 
TRE will probably head the list here when more bulbs get around. VANISLE 
won’t open as many florets, but they are huge and very attractive. SOUTH 
SEAS is a regular producer of fine show spikes, while VOO-DUN-IT is prob- 
ably more for the fancier. EMBERS we usually think of as a light red, though 
its two-toned shadings do make it entirely different from the others in that 
group. GAILY CLAD and FLAIR are two exceptionally nice small glads 
to bring this resume to an end. 
“The one that really caught my eye was WHITE CLOUD. I believe this is 
the most beautiful white I ever saw; I don’t recall any faults. Pauline made 
a very nice spike, but it bloomed when White Cloud did, and suffered some- 
what by comparison.” —Nebraska.
