1955 INTRODUCTIONS 
You will be proud to be the owners of the three most 
outstanding glads which I am introducing this year. 
“THe Queen”, “Mary CROWLEY”, and “PRAISE” will 
be all blue ribbon winners. They are disease resistant and 
have excellent habits. 
“THE QUEEN”, a light rose, is a sport of Burma with the 
the same beautiful ruffle and a much finer texture than its 
parent. 
“Mary CROWLEY” is a rich self color in the medium 
rose class—an outstanding formal. 
“PRAISE” is an exceptional strong grower with a flower 
head of 24” and in color is a rich scarlet without any mark- 
ings.
