SUN SPOT (Roberts ’45) 417 (M). One of the great show glads of all time, 
with a long record of championships and other high awards, Also widely 
grown as a cut flower. Lovely clear apricot buff with an attractive red throat 
spot. The 8 to 10 or more open florets are large and nicely ruffled, well placed 
on good spikes. Sun Spot won for “most open florets” at the Western Mass. 
and Pittsburgh shows in 1953, and took Grand Champion of the show at 
Niagara Peninsula and Ohio. Our bulbs are clean and healthy and should 
win for you, too. 
M 2—.25, S 4—.25. Bulblets 40—.25, 100—.50. 
THE RAJAH (Jack ’51) 570 (EM). A beautiful rich shade of clear purple. 
An easy grower that opens six or seven large round florets on tall, straight 
spikes. Its only apparent fault is an occasional misplaced floret. Its fine color 
and other good qualities place it close to the top in the purple group. The 
Rajah was named, by public vote, the most popular variety at last summer’s 
Vermont show. A very fast propagator. 
M .20, S 2—.20. Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.00. 
THISISIT (Spencer ’49) 432 (EM). A fragrant variety. Medium deep pink 
with a small deeper feather. The medium sized florets are nicely frilled, with 
about 6 open. Fragrance is strongest in newly-opened florets. 
M .20, S 2—.25. Bulblets 10—.20, 100—$1.50. 
THUNDERBOLT (Pierce 753) 454-464 (M). Deep garnet red with maroon 
shadings and a black red throat. May belong with the deep rose varieties, 
but a good one whatever its classification. A vigorous grower, although a 
little more length of stem would be desirable. It opens up to seven large 
flowers at a time. You will want to grow Thunderbolt if you like the dark 
glads. 
L $1.25, M $1.00, S .75. Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 50—$4.00. 
TRAIL’S END (Ficht ’49) 563 (M). A fine big flower and a lovely color. Light 
orchid rose, not far from the main color of Rosita, but with a cream throat. 
The extra large, round florets are plain-petaled or very slightly frilled, with 
7 or 8 open at once. One of the best glads in the popular rose shades. 
M 2—.25, S 4—.25. Bulblets 20—.25, 100—$1.00. 
TYRONE (Deam ’52) 466 (EM). One of the nicer lavenders, quite consistently 
making uniform spikes of show winning quality. A clear light orchid lavender 
with slight darker stippling at the outer edge of the creamy white throat. 
Seven to nine medium-large frilled and waved flowers are open in formal 
double-row placement on slender, graceful stems that never crook. Tyrone 
has a long record of grand championships, especially in the midwest. 
M .75, S .50. Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00. 
VALDA (Barrett ’51) 566-568 (M). Large, very tall deep lavender. A very 
vigorous grower, and though perhaps not as pretty as some others, it often 
wins in the giant lavender class at the shows. 
M .75,S .50. Bulblets 2—.25, 10—$1.00, 100—$8.00. 
VANISLE (G,. R. White 52) 590 (M). A beautiful smoky in “ashes of roses” 
coloring with a small pure white lip petal area on which is a deeper feather. 
An unusually clean color for a smoky or A.O.C. glad. Five or six huge ruffled 
and fluted florets are not too well placed or attached to the sturdy stems. 
M $1.00.
