SKYLARK (Palmer ’48) 423 (EM). Still about as good as any orange we 
grow, and one of the brightest and prettiest in existence. Golden orange with 
a clear yellow throat that blends perfectly. Six or seven large ruffled florets 
open at once on good stems. An excellent propagator of large bulblets that 
grow well. 
L 2—.30, M 2—.20, S 4—.25. Bulblets 40—.25, 100—.50. 
SOUTHERN BELLE (Fischer ’52) 483-445 (EM). A medium deep pink with 
prominent white throat and midribs. A definite slate blue edging may, under 
certain conditions, cover more or less of the petal area. As it grows here it is 
definitely a pink, not a smoky, however. It opens from seven to nine large 
florets that are frilled and somewhat fluted and crimped, on medium-tall stems. 
A runaway propagator, near 100% germinator, and a vigorous grower from 
bulblets. 
L .75, M .50, S .35. Bulblets 5—.25, 10—.40, 100—$3.00. 
SOUTH SEAS (Wilson ’47) 491 (ML). One of the best of the odd-colored 
glads. The rather somber ground color, slate gray that is often flecked deeper, 
is enlivened by a small orange-red throat spot. About seven good-sized florets 
are well arranged on tall spikes with stretchy flowerheads. 
L .20, M 2—.25, S 3—.25. Bulblets 25—.25. 
SPIC & SPAN (Carlson ’46) 444 (EM). Too well known to require a lengthy 
description, this is the bright deep pink with many open florets so often seen 
at the shows with a grand championship rosette pinned on it. We have noted 
at least ten G.C.’s in 1953 with many shows still unreported! 
M 2—.20, S 4—.25. Bulblets 40—.25, 100—.50. 
SPRITE (Palmer 752) 320 (EM). Beautiful golden orange with a yellow 
center, very faint lines on lip petal midribs. It opens 7 or 8 at a time on spikes 
that are in proportion to the medium-sized flowers. Florets are very nicely 
ruffled and fluted, and are closely but perfectly placed and well attached to 
the stem. A fine show prospect, Sprite took the Second-day Championship 
of last summer’s West Virginia show over many larger varieties. 
L .75, M .50, S .25. Bulblets 5—.25, 10—.40, 100—$3.00. 
STORM TERROR (Wilson ’50) 582 (M). A nice beige-toned smoky with 
cream white throat. This looks like one of the better exhibition glads in its 
class. Somewhat reminiscent of the old favorite High Finance from the same 
originator, but a more consistent spike-maker. Quite tall, many open. 
M .20, S 2—.30. Bulblets 10—.25, 100—$2.00. 
STORMY WEATHER (Barrett ’47) 582 (M). A grand light-toned smoky 
that is one of our favorites and a perennial best seller. A light rosy-gray with 
some salmon tints and a creamy throat on which is some light rose stippling. 
It ee open from seven up to ten large florets on rather willowy but straight 
spikes. 
M 2—.25, S 4—.25. Bulblets 25—.25, 100—.80. 
SUNSET GOLD (Clegg 51) 421 (EM). One of the most reliable orange glads, 
this variety was the subject of much admiration by many garden visitors, 
though we must admit that a few thought the large vermillion throat marking 
a little harsh in contrast to the clear light salmon-orange ground coloring. 
It eens seven at once on tall, straight, very uniform spikes. A good propa- 
gator. 
L .75, M .50, S .25. Bulblets 4—.25, 10—.50, 100—$4.00.
