offering a choice color range. 
ATOM — One of the very best miniatures. A beau- 
tiful vermillion with picotee edging. A great show 
winner and extra-fine for home arrangements.

through the years because of its excellence. Deep 
rosy purple. Nice ruffling, good substance, many 
open in perfect formal placement. Has a great show 
record. One of the very best.

ACE OF SPADES — This variety sold well for two 
years and is very popular. It is rated as one of the 
blackest glads grown and the large florets are of 
heavy substance and have a rich velvet sheen. Spikes 
are tall and excellent for cutting. 
L. 30c, M. 20c, Sm. 10c, Bts. 10/20c, 100/1.50 
BARRETTS BEAUTY —A ffine, tall-growing, ruffled 
white with purple lined throat. Carries 22-24 buds 
on 26” flowerhead, 7-8 open. Many consider this 
Barretts best creation.

BLACK CHERRY — Giant black red and sure winner 
at the shows. 6-8 large florets open on_ sturdy, 
strong spikes. Propagation a little slow, but one of 
the finest glads introduced in recent years. 
L. 30c, M. 20c, Sm. 10c, Bts. 10/20c, 100/1.50 
BOISE BELLE — Has attracted a lot of attention and 
is in great demand. Deep pink with yellow lip 
petals and attractive yellow edging. Opens 9-10 
ruffled blooms. Quite late so plant very early for 
the shows. Has good commercial rating. 
L. 20c, M. 2/25c, Sm. 3/35c, Bts. 10/15, 100/1.00 
BRIDAL ORCHID — My 1950 Introduction. Extremely 
tall light lavender with up to 6 florets, ruffled 
cnd very nice. Eight open, easily plus many showing 
color. Spikes always straight. | grow ten or more 
lavenders and none of them will match Bridal Orchid 
for strong, husky plants, nor easy growing. Bulblet 
production heavy. Germination excellent. Makes ex- 
cellent cutting spikes from all sized bulbs. Flecks 
some occasionally. | think this is the best commer- 
cial lavender by far. Florets open exceptionally well 
when cut in bud. Write for commercial prices. 
L. 2/25c, M. 2/15c, Sm. 5/25c, Bts. 100/25c 
BURMA — (New Selected) — Usually | do not pay 
much attention to selected strains of glads, but | 
have tried this one from Wards Flower Ranch and it 
has proved to be really outstanding. Hitherto | have 
never been able to grow good Burma but the few 
bulbs which | had of this strain produced mar- 
velous spikes. Florets were wide open, 8 or 9 at a 
time, color seemed a trifle lighter, at least a brighter 
throat. Tall, vigorous and wonderful in every respect. 
Try it and see. 
L. 2/25c, 10/1.00, M. 10/50c, Bts. 100/50c 
CANDLELIGHT — A nice medium yellow with very 
promising commercial qualities. Tall, with 41/2” florets 
which open well and keep well. 
L. 20c, M. 15c, Bts. 100/1.00
