CREAM (06-07). LORELEI will undoubtedly lead the “06” class; it is 
truly a lovely light cream or ivory white. The cream-with-markings (07) 
class is well taken care of by COLUMBIA—a real blue-ribbon getter! As 
a cut flower, too, Columbia is tops. CRYSTAL ORCHID is another variety 
we like for cutting; it will usually pass for a white. Perhaps the most 
beautiful of all those in this group are DIVINITY and CREAM ORCHIDS; 
both have exquisite color and lovely ruffled style. 
LIGHT YELLOW (10-11). This class is now quite well-filled with some 
beautiful entries. SCEPTRE, ARGENTINE, and GOLDEN BOY will prob- 
ably battle it out for show honors. The latter variety is classed a size smal- 
ler than the other two, but we believe it can easily be grown to 410 size. 
PROSPECTOR should win in a beauty contest, although challenged by LAR- 
GO, most distinctive of all the yellows with its “Peace Rose” coloring. H. V. 
WRIGHT and GOLDEN DAWN are good cutters. The small glads in this 
class are very fine ones: STATUETTE, the most consistent ribbon-winner; 
DRESDEN, the most beautiful, and GAILY CLAD, most outstanding for 
exotic color contrast. 
DEEP YELLOW (12-13). All of the nice things we said about FORT 
KNOX last year seem to have been justified by its record; truly a magnif- 
icent yellow. We wish it would propagate just a little faster. FORSYTHIA 
is excellent. GOLD is as beautiful as ever, but still a little shy on buds. 
GOLDRUFF is unique and very lovely with its amber-buff coloring and 
many-open ruffled florets. YELLOW ROSE combines good color with frag- 
rance. FROLIC and GOLDETTE are extra nice small yellows. Goldette 
might be described as a deeper-colored Babs or Dresden, while Frolic, aptly 
named, is a rollicking carnival of bright scarlet splashes on a background 
of golden yellow. 
BUFF (16-17). After being around a full decade, SUN SPOT remains 
a favorite with us and with others. We seldom catalog a variety for as long 
as 10 years, but we will give our customers at least one more chance to buy 
Sun Spot. HERALD is gaily colored, and we consider it quite beautiful. FIG- 
URINE seems to be coming into its own as a winning show variety in the 
smalls. 
LIGHT ORANGE (20-21), REGINA and SPRITE, though very dif- 
ferent, are personal favorites of ours. Both are ruffled (Sprite more intense- 
ly so), and both have lovely color. VALENTINE should be a good show glad 
and RUFFLED GOLD a nice one for the flower arranger. LITTLE GOLD 
is unmatched for its glowing orange color—a real “California Poppy” shade. 
DEEP ORANGE (22-28) and RED ORANGE (24-25). FIRE OPAL 
and FORTUNE are able contenders in the first of these groups. Both are 
outstanding for color; Fortune more smooth in tone, Fire Opal very brilliant. 
In red-orange we have FIESTA, which boasts unusual pigmentation with 
distinctive yellow and red veining. It is a good show prospect. 
LIGHT SALMON (30-31). BERMUDA, CARMEN CORLISS, DE- 
LIGHT, and VISION; what a quartet of ruffled beauties! Each is distinctly 
different, with its own particular type of crinkles, ruffles, and frills. Their 
colors range from almost a coral pink in Bermuda to the creamy pink of 
Vision. KING SIZE specializes in bigness rather than beauty; all giant 
fanciers will enjoy its “cornstalk” spikes with flowers as huge as cannas. 
Near the opposite extreme, BO-PEEP and JINGLES are “musts” for the 
small-glad fan. 
DEEP SALMON (382-33). BOISE BELLE is the leading show glad here. 
SUNDOWN should be a winner, too, although we think it may belong in the 
light orange class; it is similar to Valentine in color. CHINOOK is large 
and tall and has excellent color value, as does CORAL ACE, which is very 
nicely ruffled. DOLL HOUSE is lovely for arrangements, as are the smaller 
PIROUETTE and TWINKLES. PETER PAN has an exceptional show 
record.
