PINK CHIFFON (Fischer ’53) 440-460 (EM). A clear, rather pale but 
refined orchid-pink shading to near white in the center. A lovely pastel that 
florists should find very useful. Opens about six on tall, willowy spikes. 
L $1.50, M $1.25, S .75. Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00. 
PINK PRIDE (Arenius ’52) 530 (EM). This big tall glad rivals King Size in 
overall dimensions, and is perhaps somewhat more refined in color, which is 
a medium light pink with deeper pink throat spears blending nicely and add- 
ing interest. We have had little or no experience with any flecking in our 
climate. A huge glad that is also attractive. Propagates easily. 
L $1.50, M $1.00, S .50. Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—8.00. 
POINSETTIA (Johnson-Weeks ’52) 450 (M). Clear medium scarlet red with 
a very slight deepening of the same color in the throat. An excellent new 
glad that is fast becoming a top cut flower in this class. It has a fine bright 
color that attracts everyone, and it is a good spike-maker, opening about 
seven medium-large frilled florets on tall stems. We suggest peeling or 
eracking the hard shells of bulblets of Poinsettia (just before planting) to 
aid quick germination. 
L 50, M .35, S .20. Bulblets 10-—.30, 100—$2.50. 
PRESTO (Roberts ’52) 401 (EM). Sometimes comes a clear white, some- 
times flushed pink, especially on reverse of petals; offset by a large showy 
blotch of pinkish scarlet. There is nothing delicate or refined about this glad, 
and there are some people who do not care for the rather gaudy throat mark- 
ing. Others, however, admire it greatly. Its 6-open florets are rather plain; 
in fact Presto is one of the very few plain-petaled glads that we have intro- 
duced. Extremely showy. 
L .50, M .35, S .20. Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
PRINCESS (Larus 753) 466 (M). A rather deep but bright rosy lavender 
with faint lines emanating from the throat. It opens a long ribbon of lovely 
bloom, at least eight, on fine tall straight stems. The large flowers are nicely 
frilled, with raised and fluted midribs. Although one of the deeper lavenders, 
it is considerably lighter in tone than Parthiena or Noweta Rose. Princess 
has had a remarkable show record, winning championships and other honors 
even before its introduction. It should make good in a big way as a com- 
mercial, too. 
L $2.00, M $1.50. Bulblets .30, 10—$2.40. 
PROSPECTOR (Leffingwell ’53) 412 (EM). A lovely glad that seems tops 
for beauty among the new yellows. A clear light to medium yellow with 
deeper, amber-toned lip petals. The six-open florets are broad-petaled, and 
are beautifully frilled and crimped at the edges. Quite a good producer of 
bulblets, but they are not very easy to sprout, apparently. Likely to be in 
rather scarce supply for a few years. 
Bulbs, any size, $3.00 each. Bulblets .30, 5—$1.20. 
RED CHERRY (Roberts ’46) 436 (E). One of our first introductions, still 
going strong as a standard early cutflower variety. It blooms just following 
such extra-early reds and scarlets as Rhett Butler, Early Red and Wel- 
come. A bright shade of scarlet with slightly deeper cherry red throat. 
Opens 7 on fine spikes. 
L 2—.30, M 2—.20, S 4—.25. Bulblets 40—.25, 100—.50. 
“In spite of the drought, PRESTO is simply beautiful this year. Don’t 
know how, without any moisture, as glads in general look pretty sick.”
