DOLLY VARDEN (Harris ’50) 533 (ML). Giant coral pink with a showy 
white center. A fine color and rather unique in form, with broad-petaled, 
flaring, rather winged florets that somewhat resemble birds in flight. Seven or 
eight of these huge flowers are open at once on tall, husky stems. An extra 
good propagator and germinator. If you haven’t yet grown Dolly Varden, this 
is the year (with the price so much lower) to get started with one of the best 
glads in existence. 
L .40, M .25, S 2—.30. Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
EARLY RED (Knight ’53) 450 (VE). A bright scarlet red that is similar in 
intensity to the color of Red Radiance, and an earlier bloomer. In fact Early 
Red is the earliest of all the good reds and scarlets that we know of, excepting 
the new Welcome. Early Red opens six or more good-sized flowers on fine cut- 
ting spikes. A good propagator, it should be a good extra-early commercial 
red. 
L $1.00, M .60, S .40. Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 50—$4.00. 
ELMER’S ROSE (Fischer ’51) 462 (EM). A pleasing shade of medium laven- 
der rose, fairly bright, with a somewhat darker rose feather. About midway 
between the rose colors of Noweta Rose and Margery. Not as spectacular as 
the same originator’s Noweta Rose, but a more consistent performer here. 
Six or seven large flowers are open on spikes of average height. Won as 
Most Ruffled glad at Boston, 19538. 
M .30, S .20. Bulblets 10—.25. 
EMBERS (Arnett ’51) 490-450 (EM). A distinctively different glad that is 
rather hard to classify with its two-toned red coloring; still a light red how- 
ever, in our opinion. A rather subdued shade of red, lightening toward the 
throat, with a central rosy red feather. Not a spectacular glad, but an inter- 
esting one. The fine attachment and placement of its 6 or 8 large open florets 
makes it qualify as a commercial prospect. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.00. Bulblets .20, 10—$1.50, 100—$12.00. 
FALCON (Woods 749) 567 (EM). Our nomination for the most orchid-like 
glad. In form as well as in color, Falcon has an exotic beauty that has always 
reminded us of some of the fine Cattleya hybrids. The two side petals of each 
flower are wide-flaring and recurved; the long rather narrow top petal is wide 
open and heavily ribbed in the center, Color is an attractive clear orchid- 
lavender with a light peppering of rose over cream on the rather short lip 
petals. A lovely glad. 
M .20. Bulblets 15—.25, 50—.75. 
FORSYTHIA (Harris ’52) 512 (EM). Here is one of the very best yellows 
available today. Although there is a distinct chartreuse cast to the buds and 
opening flowers, it fades to a clear medium yellow when fully opened. A very 
reliable grower, Forsythia will open at least six or seven large frilled and 
waved florets on spikes of good height. A fast increaser. 
L .75, M .50. Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 50—$2.00. 
FORT KNOX (Torrie-Flad 753) 412 (EM). This new yellow was one of the 
real standouts in our trial garden last summer, towering above most all 
other yellows in quality as well as height. A lovely deep clear yellow with 
no markings. The broad-petaled florets are nicely ruffled and are very large; 
in fact Fort Knox is one of the largest yellows, surely a 512 as it grew here. 
With six or seven open at once on 18-bud flowerheads, a few spikes make a 
beautiful bouquet. A fine grower and a good propagator of large bulblets 
which sprout and grow well. 
M .75,S .50. Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.25. 
“I seldom write about gratis (premium) bulbs I receive, but I’m sure mak- 
ing an exception to YULETIDE. I think it is one of the most beautiful glads I 
grow, and believe me I grow a lot of varieties. ’'m boosting Yuletide plenty, 
and wish you a lot of luck with this beautiful flower.”’ —Wisconsin.
