SILCHERLIED (Pfitzer) — E — Lafrance pink 
with a dark red blotch. Opens 7-8 well 
formed florets on an 18-20 bud spike. Tall 
strong grower. Quite a striking glad but I 
don’t care much for it. 
Large: 25c; 10 for $1.90 
Medium: 2 for 35c; 10 for $1.35 
SHOT (DeBe)—Clean glistening white with 
cattleya-lilac glow and very large amaranth 
(strong purplish blood-red) blotch. This is 
a most attractive and appealing color com- 
bination, as pure as anything. Size of florets 
not too large, wide opened, more or less 
waved and of perfect shape. Attachment 
leaves nothing to be wished for and the 
stems are wiry, strong, and well above the 
foliage. It opens 5 or 6 at a time, which is 
exactly enough to make a well balanced and 
lovely spike. Bulblet production fast, propa- 
gation and germination easy and prolific. 
Foliage and growth very healthy. Some- 
thing very special, which starts blooming 
early in the season and continues till late 
season when also the bulblets produce nice 
spikes. 
Large: 90c. Medium: 60c; 10 for $4.75 
Small: 45c; 10 for $3.75 
SOUTH SEAS 491 (Wilson)—M—Orange gray 
on light slate background with deep orange 
and yellow blotch. A smoky that is entirely 
different. Tall strong vigorous grower with 
up to 8 6-inch blooms on a long head. Was 
on the popularity list this year. Keeps well 
as a cut flower. 
Large: 2 for 35c; 10 for $1.25

SPIC AND SPAN 432 (Carlson)—-M—Tall ruf- 
fled medium deep pink of a clear unusual 
shade. Opens up to 10 in the field with 8 
more showing color. Plant is tall and always 
perfectly straight. Stands up like a sentinel. 
It is fast becoming one of the most popular 
cut flowers on the market. Grand for both 
exhibition and florist use. Has won more 
blue ribbons and Grand Championships 
during the past five years than any other 
two glads.

Medium: 3 for 25c; 10 for 65c

Large wide open beautifully ruffled bright 
orange pink with soft scarlet feather. Opens 
6-8 florets with heavy substance. Good

correct this.

SULTARA 483 (Pruitt)—It is a smoky salmon

beautiful color and top notch all around va- 
riety. Great show winner and just as good

SWEET SIXTEEN 440 (Fischer, *51)—E—I be- 
lieve Sweet Sixteen will prove to be one of 
the very best, pure pink glads we have. It 
is a sport of Beauty’s Blush. One of the most 
formal of all glads, opening 9 perfectly

fectly shaped, placed and attached. It opens 
6 to 8 at a time; several buds showing color. 
The 20-bud spike is long and well balanced. 
Stems wiry and strong like iron, always 
straight. A large sized glad which grows 
outstandingly fast and healthy. Even a large 
part of the bulblets produce flowers. Tight 
buds open perfectly when cut and placed 
in water. Early to midseason flowering. 
Large: $1.00; Medium: 75c 
THE ROAN 590 (Pruitt)—Rosy red covered 
with fine silvery parallel lines giving it a 
unique and distinctive appearance. Has fine 
lines regularly placed and hardly notice- 
able as such. This variety was grand with 
me this past season and I am sure that any- 
one who likes something out of the ordi- 
nary will fall for this variety.
