GOLDRUFF (Palmer ’53) 310 (M). Lovely medium-sized clear yellow with 
golden yellow lips, florets marvelously ruffled, frilled, and fluted. A tall grower 
with a fairly good flower head and opens a lot of flowers at a time. Quite 
unique in form with the three upper petals broad and flaring, lower petals 
er and much narrower, It has a long, outward-protruding stigma. A real 
eauty! 
M $1.25, S .75. Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.20. 
GRAY SUMMIT (Butt ’50) 486 (M). An attractive light pearly gray of solid 
coloring except for a faint tinge of lavender-pink shining through at times. 
Throat is a clear white with a narrow pink border, very pretty. The six or 
seven open florets are crimped slightly at the petal edges. One of our favorite 
smokies and one that is always much admired by garden visitors. 
L 2—.30, M 2—.20, S 4—.25. Bulblets 40—.25. 
HAMLET (Larus ’50) 454 (EM). Black reds come and go, but this one should 
stay around for some time, as it seems to be one of the most reliable glads 
in a class that hasn’t had too good a reputation for dependability. Hamlet is 
a fairly large plain-petaled or very slightly waved garnet-maroon of self color 
with sharply contrasting white stamens. A fine cut flower where there is a 
demand for the dark ones. Seems to stand weather extremes better than most 
black reds, and it also propagates well. 
M .30, S .20. Bulblets 10—.30. 
HARRIET (Everett 751) 370 (EM). A round-floreted, somewhat smaller edi- 
tion of King David, with up to 8 or 9 nicely ruffled flowers open at once on a 
slender stem that may bend some under the weight of the fully-opened 
flowerhead. Deep reddish purple with still darker lip petal, a small unobtrusive 
white area in the throat. Harriet should be a fine show glad, in fact it has 
won a good many sectional and divisional championships. But it’s worth 
growing for its beauty alone. 
M .50,S .25. Bulblets 5—.25, 10—.40, 100—$3.20. 
HARRISBURGER (Mikle 53) 552 (L). A grand red for any purpose; almost 
a sure bet to win in show competition, and seems to have all the wanted com- 
mercial qualities, too. Its only apparent fault is its late blooming season 
which may handicap it in northern climates. A fairly deep but extremely 
bright shade of red, very even in tone and with a richness that makes some 
other good reds seem dull in comparison. We grew Harrisburger as a seed- 
ling in the N.A.G.C. trial ground in 1952, giving it an “AA” rating without 
hesitation. It was just as outstanding in our 1953 planting. Due to the tremen- 
dous demand for Harrisburger last fall, the introducer has raised his prices, 
and we follow suit to prevent a complete sellout of our planting stock. Even 
at the present prices, it is one of the best buys in our catalog. 
M $1.50. Bulblets .25 each, 10—$2.00. 
HEIRLOOM (Klein 752) 566 (EM). Another fine dual-purpose variety, with 
a topnotch show record and with color and keeping qualities that should put 
it in the commercial lists eventually. Seems to grow unusually well in the 
east, where it has been a consistent winner of high awards including several 
grand championships. Does not grow too tall here, but it opens seven or 
eight frilled florets at a time. Color is most attractive, being a clear medium 
lavender with a small white throat and faint light midrib lines. A good 
propagator. Grand Champ at the 1953 Canadian International. 
L $3.00, M $2.00, S $1.00. Bulblets .25, 10—$2.00. 
“WHITE CLOUD has just bloomed to beautiful satisfaction. I have about 
50 whites, and truthfully believe White Cloud is the whitest of them all. Six- 
inch florets, 24 buds, 6 open in the field (10 open today inside), a little 
better than five feet tall. Keep these kinds of introductions coming!’’ 
—Nebraska.
