Recent Tutroductious of Merit 
The best of the recent introductions are offered here. 
which will be around the longest is hard to say. 
we have tried to be as frank in our descriptions of them as possible. 
Just which is the very best and 
Everyone does not like the same thing so 
Unfortunately, we think 
nearly every glad is beautiful so it has to be a pretty bad performer before we toss it out. 
Try some of these newer beauties, we’re sure they will delight you.

L .30; M .20; S 3-.35; Blbts. 12-.25; 100-$1.50 
ALBESCA (300) (Armstrong ‘51) (Early Med.) 
If you are looking for beauty of color and form, 
then look no further because this white is the 
ultimate. Tall grower, long, straight spikes and 
lots of open florets that are well placed and 
attached. 
L .40; M .30; S .20; Blbts. 9-25, 100-$2.00 
ALLAH (490) (Harris 1953) 
For the fans who want smokeys, or A.O.C. 
here is a beaut. A huge, richer, much improved 
Vagabond Prince without the scarlet feather. 
Ruffled and needle pointed florets. 
L .75; M .50; S .25; Blbts. 4-.25, 100-$3.50 
ANDRENA (440) (Armstrong ‘50) (Med.) 
This golden throated phlox pink glad is one of 
the most beautiful in existence. Beautiful ruffled 
floret form, well attached and will open 8-9. 
Was grand champion at St. Catherines in 1952. 
L .25; M 2-.30; $ 3-.30; Blbts. 15-25; 100-$1.00 
ANGEL WINGS (300) (Kolb ‘54) (EM) 
One of the better 300 whit2s—one we predict will 
become a very popular commercial. 18-20 bud 
spike with 6 to 8 roundad florets open, delicately 
crimped around the edges. Exceptionally de- 
pendable grower, tho not a runaway propagator. 
Makes nice bulbs that keep well. In all our 
plantings we’ve yet to see a crook or a mis- 
placed floret. Recommended. 
L $2.00; M $1.50; S $1.00; Blbts. 2-.30, 10-$1.20 
ARSENAL (452) 
Another deep red we brought over from Holland. 
Can make quite a spike when well grown, but 
does not take our lowa sun quite as well as we 
would like. 
L 2-.30; M 3-.30; S 4-.25; Blbts. 25-.25, 100-.60 
BARRETT’S BEAUTY (401) (Barrett ‘52)

ruffled and needle pointed and have perfect 
facing and placement. Grows tall.

BLUEBERRY (478) (Harris ‘53)

slight coloring in throat, almost a self color.

BLUE DEVIL 
BLUE DEVIL (479) (Larus ‘52) (EM) 
The florets are a clear, deep violet with a rose 
blotch on a conspicuous white throat—very strik- 
ing and different. Carries 7 wide open florets 
4V/2” on tall spikes. 
L $1.50; M $1.00; S .60; Blbts. 2-.25, 10-$1.00 
BLUE HAZE 
Another of our Holland imports. A rather dark 
muddy red—possibly a tinge of blue to the mid 
ribs—possibly a red over blue. Very unusual color 
is about all that can be said for it. Good spikes, 
L 2-.40; M 2-.30; S 3-.30; Blbts. 15-.25; 100-.80 
BONNIE BRAE (430) (Mode) (Med.)

8 open and 26” flowerhead.
