CREAM ORCHIDS 406-70 (Fischer, *51)—A la- 
ciniated cream bloom that closely resem- 
bles an orchid with its lovely waxy appear- 
ance. Very useful for corsage work. It is a 
tall grower and stands extreme heat very 
well. 
Large: 35c; 10 for $2.75 
Medium: 25c; 10 for $1.90 
CRIMSON GLOW 486 (Pruitt) — M— One of 
the most beautiful smoky glads I have ever 
seen. Opens 6-8 ruffled and fluted needle- 
point, wide open florets of a frosty crimson 
which blends into a soft blue-grey tone 
around the edge of the petals. The throat 
has a deep crimson feather in it. Crimson 
Glow grows well over 5 feet tall, makes 
straight spikes in hot weather without burn- 
ing. The flower somewhat resembles Flying 
Fortress but is a much richer color with 
much better growing habits. A wonderful 
cut flower. I picked some spikes with one 
floret open, left them out of water for 24 
hours and when put in water they fresh- 
ened up and opened every floret. Was very 
popular at the fair this year.

How long is a bulb good for? 
It depends on variety and conditions. Under 
good culture some varieties will be past their best 
when 3 years old from bulblets, while other will 
produce bloom for several years. A bulb 2 years 
from a bulblet is generally considered at its best.

CRUSADER 301 — E— A striking new white 
with a startling velvety purple throat. Truly 
an orchid throated glad. The purple throat 
markings are bright and large, making this 
glad really stand out, and one you will want 
to add to your collection. 
Large: 85c; Medium: 65c 
CROWN JEWEL 406 (Fischer) — This rose- 
pink—almost lavender, with a ruby red 
throat blotch is really a gem for lovely 
colors. You will like this one. A lot different 
than any other glad that I list. 
Large: 35c; 10 for $2.75 
Medium: 25c; 10 for $1.90 
DARK DAVID 554 (Morgan)—Here is a very 
tall strong growing dark red, that has mas- 
sive size and can easily open eight 514-inch 
blooms. 
Large: 50c; 10 for $4.00 
Medium: 35c; 10 for $2.75 
December 
Right now it is July 20th and it is hard to 
think what to do if it was December. The 
weather has been over 90 most of the time 
for the last two weeks. Esther, that’s my better 
half, is crocheting twin jackets. I guess they 
are jackets for the babies to wear in December. 
They aren’t here yet but it may be only a mat- 
ter of hours now. Order glad bulbs for Christ- 
mas gifts, keep on the good side of people. I 
think ll invite my mother-in-law to dinner. 
DIEPPE 432 (Hassall)—M—Dark salmon red 
with darker blotch. Opens 6-7 flat wide 
open blooms of the most gorgeous color im- 
aginable. Some call this salmon and others 
red. But whatever the color it is one of 
the very finest I know. To me it looks scar- 
let. I can’t see any salmon in it at all, but 
I am color blind. A wonderful commercial 
as well as a garden flower. 
Large: 2 for 25c; 10 for 90c 
Medium: 3 for 25c; 10 for 65c 
EDGEWOOD 461 (Torrie-Flad)—M—Tall me- 
dium rose with rose lavender. Color is very 
close to that of Elmer’s Rose. It looks better 
to me, though. Eight lightly ruffled blooms 
open on a 20-bud spike. Good propagator, 
commercial prospect and a really fine 
variety. 
Large: $1.00; 10 for $8.00 
Meduim: 75c; 10 for $6.00 
ELIZABETH THE QUEEN 566 (White)—M— 
Beautiful clear lavender mauve with darker 
lines in the throat. Opens 7-8 heavily ruf- 
fled florets of beautiful form. This is the 
standard lavender now and by far the most 
popular both for cut flower work and for 
exhibition. Also it is one of the very finest 
for breeding. There is a whole flock of new 
seedlings coming along now with Elizabeth 
as one of the parents. At the present there 
is nothing better in a lavender at the price. 
Large: 2 for 25c; 10 for 90c 
Medium: 3 for 25c; 10 for 65c 
ELMER’S ROSE 462 (Fischer)—M—Wonder- 
fully fine new deep rose. Opens 7-8 heavily 
ruffled well spaced and placed blooms of 
good substance. One of Fischer’s best. 
Heavy propagator and a sure comer for 
exhibition or for the home garden and 
should be popular as a commercial too. One 
of my favorite glads. 
Large: 25c; 10 for $1.90 
Medium: 2 for 35c; 10 for $1.25
