FIJI—Very light lavender with velvety, bright 
red throat blotch edged with cream or light 
yellow. Slightly ruffled. A 1952 introduction 
that is very attractive and quite different. 
You should try this. 
FIMBRIATUS—Cream with slight reddish 
feather. Long, lacinated, pointed and sl ghtly 
ruffled petals. 4 and 5 open on spikes up to 
15 buds. Another grand old variety introduced 
in 1928, 
FLAIR—Upper petals cream with rosy b ush. 
The two lip petals are smaller and so:id deep 
rose, slightly edged cream. Long, pointed 
petals, slightly ruffled and lacinated. Very odd 
and very spectacular. At the Boonton, N. J. 
show this won the award for “Most Unusual 
Floret.” 
FLASHLIGHT—Brilliant orange-scarlet with 
very showy, full, clean yellow throat ecg:2d 
scarlet. Opens 6 or 7 somewhat ruffled florets. 
Reminds one of the large, flashy Beacon which 
is an ancestor. 1953 introduction. 
FLICKER—Medium orange with yellow throat 
and bright red blotch. A quite specta-ular 
little glad that rates among the best of all 
small varieties. Won ist for me at Boston in a 
large class and a customer reports winning 4 
firsts with it. 
FLOWER BASKET—Rich, clean pink with 
full white throat. A 214-234 inch face-up with 
15-16 buds. Rather long and pointed petals. 
Something different in a face-up, Outstanding 
for corsages and arrangements. 
FLOWER GIRL—Clean white with a touch of 
cream in throat. Needlepoint petals. Opens 
4 with 4 in color on a 14-15 bud spike. Very 
popular and quite a show winner. 
FLUFFY RUFFLES—Cream with yellow lip. 
Slightly ruffled, pointed and lacinated petals. 
Early, quite small, and very popular. 
FROHSINN—Medium red with much deeper 
throat having a purplish tinge. A very rich 
color. Opens 8 on an 18 bud spike, A slow 
propagator. 
GAILY CLAD—Greenish yellow with conspicu- 
ous orange-red blotch. Up to 5 heavily ruffled, 
heavy textured florets open on a long head. 
Very bright and spectacular. 1951 introduction. 
GAY SPARKLETTE—Upper petals pale apri- 
cot, lower petals rich greenish yellow. Beauti- 
fully ruffled. Opens 5 or 6 on a 15-17 bud spike. 
Slow propagation still keeps this in the limited 
class. A customer reports a blue ribbon from 
the one bulb purchased last year. 
GILT EDGE—Distinctive light red with all 
petals edged gilt or gold. Similar to Kewpie 
and Atom but a darker red and a darker edg- 
ing. Opens 4 or 5 on 15-16 bud wiry spikes. 
Produces nice spikes for the show and some 
crooks for arrangements. I like this very 
much.
