BIRCHVILLE GARDENS - 
PLAINVILLE, CONNECTICUT 
LEADING LADY (Johnson 42) 506-87 
A white sport of Picardy that is a leading glad to- 
day. It has won all kinds of championships. The 
spikes are tall with 8 large blooms that are well 
placed. Don’t miss growing Leading Lady. 
MANCHU (B. L. Palmer 45) 513-80 
A contrasting deep orange and yellow glad that 
grows very tall. Its one fault is that the blooms are 
not always well-balanced, but it is different and 
makes a hit with all our garden visitors. 
MARATHON (Lawrenson 51) 416-85 
A strong growing light buff with a red spot in the 
throat. Opens 7 large blooms on tall spikes. This 
was fine from small bulbs here this past season. 
Large bulbs are apt to crook. 
MARSHAL MONTGOMERY (Salmon 48) 554-85 
This is certainly one of the finest dark reds. It is a 
shining deep maroon-red with large, wide open 
florets on a tall, straight spike. One of those varie- 
ties you will love on sight. 
MELLOW MOON (E. Snyder 50) 420-80 
Beautiful light orange, nearly self-color. Opens 8 
good facing, well-attached 5 to 5% inch florets on 
a 20 bud spike. 28-30 inch flowerheads with six 
showing color. Grows up to 60” tall and is ruffled. 
A top notch variety that will go to the top. 
CHERBOURG 
RED FEATHER 
MID AMERICA (Knierim 47) 550-85 
A very large deep red exhibition glad. It opens 8 
well-attached florets on a long spike of 24-26 buds. 
The florets are well-attached to a long flowerhead 
that often reaches 33 to 36 inches. 
MIGHTY MONARCH (Butt 46) 552-88 
An exceptionally strong growing variety with a deep 
red velvet glaw. Opens 6 or 7 huge florets on a 
long 20-26 bud flowerhead. A very heavy show 
winner. 
MODERN TIMES (Salman 48) 464-75 
Crimson-purple or reddish-rose. The same color as 
Boulogne but is a better glad in my opinion. Tall 
and straight grower with 6 to 8 open. A florist favor- 
ite for those who want a good commercial glad. 
MOUNT INDEX (Miller 42) 401-68 
The perfect early flowering white. The exquisitely 
formed florets are firmly attached and placed on 
very tall spikes. Opens 8. One of the very best 
commercial glads. 
MRS. R. G. ERREY (Errey  ) 554-85 
Believed by many to be the best dark red. Opens 
8-10 on very tall spikes, with long flowerheads. 
Certainly can win on the show bench. 
NILA (Pruitt 47) 464-85 
If you like the dark ones, | am sure you will like 
Nila. It is a tall, dark red that opens 7-9 well- 
placed blooms on an 18 to 20 bud spike. Grows 
straight and tall.
