ROSY FUTURE (Pletcher ’51) 464 (EM). A very bright and showy deep 
cerise-rose with slightly deeper rose red lines on lip petals. A somewhat 
more reddish shade of rose than Glad Tidings, and a little darker. Six large 
flowers are only fairly well placed and attached to the stems. Such a bright, 
cheery color that it is sure to attract much attention, and it will certainly 
make a gay spot in your garden. 
L .20, M 2—.25, S 4—.25. Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.00. 
ROYAL FLUSH (Barrett ’50) 552 (ML). A grand deep red that has always 
been one of our favorites. Its large flowers are nicely ruffled, and they have a 
velvety sheen that reminds us of rich red plush. Seven or eight florets are 
open in a long ribbon of bloom on moderately tall but very sturdy spikes. If 
you like red glads you will surely enjoy growing Royal Flush! 
L $1.00, M .75. Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50. 
ROYAL SCOT (Taylor 752) 470 (EM). While perhaps not quite the equal of 
some other new purples in beauty, Royal Scot may prove to be best of all for 
commercial cutting. It stands up in any sort of weather without floret dam- 
age, and is a marvelous propagator. Makes beautiful bulbs, too. The color 
is medium purple with less red in its makeup than most. Six or seven medium- 
large florets are open on fine tall spikes. 
L .75, M .50, S .25. Bulblets 5—.25, 10—.40, 100—$3.00. 
ROYAL TREAT (Lins 752) 452 (EM). A beautiful ruffed dark red with 
some rosy undertones. Darker and much redder than Burma, Royal Treat 
is rather close to the dividing line between the 52 and 54 color classes. Sta- 
mens are white. A very vigorous grower that opens about seven large, round, 
ruffled flowers on tall spikes. Much larger than Garnet Glow, though not as 
dark. Very beautiful, and probably Gene Lins’ best introduction to date. 
A good grower, fast increaser, and fine bulb maker. 
L .75, M .50, S .25. Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00. 
RUFFLED EBONY (Fischer ’53) 454 (EM). A grand deep-toned glad that is 
about as dark as any developed to date, and in addition has a lustrous sheen 
that adds greatly to its beauty. Buds are black as night, opening to a very 
dark rosy maroon. The inner portion of the top petal has a rosy glow that 
shines in the sun and really adds a lot of life to the flower. Of average height 
and not too many open, but its ruffled florets are about the ultimate in beauty, 
at least among the darker varieties. 
L $1.50, M $1.25. Bulblets 2—.30, 10—$1.20. 
- RUFFLED GOLD (Lines ’53) 512-520 (M). Not a yellow as erroneously 
classified, but a rich blend of salmon and orange shades with a few rather 
unobtrusive red-orange throat lines. Florets are large and nicely ruffled, with 
six to eight open on spikes of medium height. Has won several prizes at 
western shows, and we think one of Rev. Lines’ best originations. 
L $1.00, M .75, S .50. Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00. 
RUTH LORENE (Fuller 752) 412 (EM). A sport of Spotlight, Ruth Lorene 
has a nice clear yellow color without the throat marking which some florists 
objected to in the older variety. Florets are not quite the same shade, but 
it opens more at once, up to eight. 
M .35, S .25. Bulblets 10—.35, 100—$3.00. 
SEASHELL (Roberts ’49) 540 (ML). Huge tall light shell pink with a white 
center. A lovely color when it doesn’t fleck; usually clear here. It opens six 
extra large ruffled flowers on stems like cornstalks. 
L .25, M 2—.30, S 3—.25. Bulblets 15—.25, 100—$1.50.
