FRANCESCA (Toben ’50) 566 (ML). Perhaps the most beautiful lavender, 
at least that is our opinion and that of several good judges who have more 
than once awarded it the title of Most Beautiful in the show. Really a light 
heliotrope or pinkish lavender with opalescent shadings that vary in different 
lights like changeable silk. This variety, like many others, probably appreci- 
ates a little extra care in growing, with plenty of water. A good producer of 
rather small bulblets which germinate easily, making fair growth. 
M .60, S .40. Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50., 50—$2.00 
GARDEN GOLD (Rich ’48) 512 (M). Possibly the largest yellow; its nearest 
rival being Autumn Moon. Garden Gold is a medium yellow with golden 
yellow throat, opening six or seven on tall strong stems, medium length 
flowerheads of 16 to 18 buds. One of the best all-around yellows. 
L .40, M .30, S .20. Bulblets 10—.25, 50—$1.00. 
GARNET GLOW (Rich ’50) 454 (EM). One of the most beautiful black reds. 
Though only of medium size (perhaps 354), it will open up to 9 nicely 
ruffled recurved florets in perfect placement on slender, graceful stems. 
For rich color and smooth finish, it will be hard to top Garnet Glow. 
L .50, M .40, S .30. Bulblets 10—.40, 100—$3.00. 
GARNET RUFFLES (Maynard ’53) 352 (M). A true exhibition type glad in 
the medium size range; has won scads of prizes at important shows, both 
before and after introduction. A dark but quite brilliant red with some deep 
rose undertones. Might almost be classed 364, deep rose, or 354, maroon. 
We predict that classification committees will have a field day with this 
one before they get it permanently located. Garnet Ruffles opens a long ribbon 
of beautiful bloom; the 7 to 9 open florets have a smooth, shining, almost 
metallic finish on the ruffled petals that is most attractive. Very pretty, and 
a good grower and propagator. 
L $2.00, M $1.50, S $1.00. Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00, 50—$8.00. 
GLAD TIDINGS (Arenius ’52) 462 (EM). Here is a glad we fell for at first 
sight! A different and very attractive shade of light cerise or rose pink of 
uniform coloring except for a few faint lines of slightly deeper rose on the 
lip petals. It opens from six to eight large flowers on tall stems with fairly 
good flowerheads. A very lovely color that we call raspberry rose, a little 
pinker than Miss Wisconsin and a shade or two lighter than Rosy Future. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .50. Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 50—$4.00 
GOLD (Marshall.’51) 412 (E). A truly beautiful yellow with superb color, 
form, and ruffling. While some of its newer half-sisters, also out of Orange 
Gold, may surpass it in length of flowerhead and number of buds, we will 
keep on growing Gold for its unsurpassed beauty. The ruffling, smooth finish, 
and heavy substance of its round, broad-petaled florets combine to present 
the ultimate in beauty in a yellow. 
L .40, M .30, S .20. Bulblets 10—.30, 100—$2.40. 
GOLDEN DAWN (Savelief ’51) 410 (EM). A clear yellow of about the same 
shade as Forsythia, but without any greenish tone in bud or bloom. Up to 
eight or ten medium-sized flowers are open at a time on excellent cutting 
stems with quite good flowerheads. It opens well in water and lasts a long 
time; also seems to stand heat in the field better than most yellows. A coming 
commercial. 
L .35, M .25, S 2—.30. Bulblets 15—.25, 50—.75. 
“PAINTED LADY was excellent; one of the best in the Salt Lake glad 
show.”’ —Utah. 
‘BOISE BELLE continued to do fine. I won with it at Oneida. I believe 
it should be reclassified down to 300 size class.” —New York.
