GWEN 560-75 (Pickell, *49)—Well, here it is

fragrance out of it. A tall growing light 
rose that will open up to 8 florets which 
are strongly attached to good spike. Good 
propagator and fine grower from bulblets. 
A good commercial as well as a good ex- 
hibition variety.

January 
Bulb ordering month. If you live where it is 
warm make your first glad planting. Turn 
your compost over. Keep the fire going. Read 
a good book. Go to church every Sunday, it 
won't hurt you a bit. 
July 
If you live where the winters are mild you 
can plant glads for fall bloom. Take your vaca- 
tion if you can. Take the kids swimming. Eat 
lots of salads. Dust or spray with DDT or 
Chlordane. Make some ice cream.

June 
Go to a wedding. Visit a glad show, take 
flowers to church, give a bouquet of glads to 
some one for graduation. Dust or spray your 
glads with Chlordane, DDT or Isotox. Try to 
keep from getting sunburnt. Plant glads for 
September blooms. Find something useful for 
the children to do now that school is out. Idle 
time puts horns on mama’s little angel.

genta shading to a large sulphur yellow 
throat. 6-8 well placed 5-inch blooms on an

tachment of florets. Good substance. A

KING LEAR 570 (Palmer, 738)—A tall ruffled

edge around the petals. Like King Lear, 
one of its parents, but better. Heavily ruf- 
fled and fluted with 8-10 open and 10 show- 
ing on a long head. The finest of its color 
and a tremendous seller. Was second best

price range.

including at least 4 Grand championships, 
8 seedling championships, longest flower-
