LODESTAR 412 (Palmer)—E—Medium yellow 
shade, darker on the lip. Only medium 
height but opens 5-7 somewhat ruffled very

lows I know. Good propagator and fine cut 
flowers variety.

Medium: 3 for 25c; 10 for 65c 
MAGNET 560—E—A huge, tall lavender rose

the tallest.

Medium: 2 for 35c; 10 for $1.25 
MAJORETTE (Kroon, *50)—A beautiful ruf-

May 
This should be a happy month because we 
are so close to June—with its weddings, school 
getting out, graduations, etc. Study vacation 
folders, dust and spray glads for thrips, plant 
glads now for August blooms. Enjoy the host 
of spring flowers. Get after the kids to do their 
homework. 
MERRY WIDOW —A very striking glad. A 
deep, brilliant shade between purple, 
mauve and lavender with a large, creamy 
white blotch on the lower petals. Another 
of the most popular glads whenever shown, 
and one you will need for your garden. 
Large: 25c each; 10 for $1.90 
Medium: 2 for 35c; 10 for $1.25 
Small: 2 for 25c 
MID-AMERICA 550 (Knierin, ’47)—M—A true 
giant glad. Opens 10 giant florets at once 
with the lower ones often measuring over 7 
inches across. Spike often reaching 6 feet 
tall with 26 buds. Too big for a commercial. 
This was the most popular glad at the fair 
this season. Now that the price is down 
everyone should grow this one. 
Large: 2 for 35c; 10 for $1.25 
Medium: 2 for 25c; 10 for 90c 
MIGHTY MONARCH 552 (Butt) — M — Huge 
tall strong plant. Opens 6-7 large blooms 
of heavy texture. If you like the big he man 
type of glads this is it. However, it being so 
tall and making such a heavy head it some- 
times bends over if allowed to open in the 
field. Plant it deep, at least 4 inches for 
large bulbs. Thrips like Mighty Monarch 
best—you should grow some to test for 
thrips—if you don’t have any on this, you 
don’t need to spray. Mighty Monarch is to 
thrip what apple pie a la mode is to me. 
Large: 2 for 25c; 10 for 90c 
Medium: 3 for 25c; 10 for 65c
