SUNDOWN (C. Robinson ’54) 582 (EM). This impressed us as being one 
of the best new glads of 1954. Big but beautiful, it will please all those who 
like strong blotches in their glads. The very prominent orange-scarlet 
throat harmonizes well with the ground color of light salmon orange, Sun- 
down opens 6 to 8 of its extra large, round flowers on good spikes. 
M $1.00. 
SUN SPOT (Roberts 745) 417 (M). Probably the oldest glad in our list, 
and still one of the most popular. While some growers report their stock 
deteriorating, we still have a tall-growing, healthy strain of this grand 
old variety. A lovely light apricot-buff with a rosy red throat spot, it 
regularly opens from 8 to 11 large ruffled flowers of heavy substance at a 
time. Sun Spot has a long show record dating back many years; its total 
number of championships and other major wins is equaled by only a few 
others such as Picardy and Spic and Span. During the 1954 season, Sun 
Spot was Grand Champ at the New Brunswick, Canada and Long Island 
(E.N.Y.) shows; 2nd-Day Champ at N.W. Ohio; Champion 3-spike, Thunder 
Bay, G.S., Best Open single spike, Eastern International; sectional champion 
at No. Minnesota and Western New York, etc. 
M 2-.25, Bulblets 20-.25. 
TAN GLO (Arenius ’54) 480 (M). Here is a new smoky that will please you 
with its smooth attractive coloring, and will also pick up the blue ribbons at 
the most important shows. It has already won as best recent introduction, at 
Eastern International and elsewhere, and it actually won a grand Champion- 
ship while still an unnamed seedling. A smooth rosy tan without markings, 
overlaid with a smoky sheen. It will open 8 or more on perfect spikes, 
very tall and stretchy. A consistently good grower, and a fine increaser. 
L $2.50, M $2.00, S $1.50, Bulblets .25 each, 10-$2.00. 
THE RAJAH (Jack 751) 570 (EM). One of the most attractive purples. 
Though introduced with less fanfare than most new varieties, it has 
proven one of the best. A clear royal purple with round, wide open, nicely 
ruffled florets, of which 6-7 or more will open at once. 
L 2-.30, M 3-.25, S 5-.25. 
THUNDERBOLT (Pierce ’53) 454 (M). A nice dark red with rose-purple 
undertone; not as dark as most of the maroons but has more life and sheen 
than many. With a few more inches height in the stem it could be the most 
popular black red; much admired anyway. 
L .60, M .40, S .25, Bulblets 5-.25, 10-.40. 
TIMES SQUARE (Butt ’54) 570 (E). This new purple seems to combine 
the best qualities of Royal Scot and King Lear. It is a seedling of the 
latter variety, but not related to Royal Scot so far as we know, though it 
does exhibit similarly good qualities of stem, floret shape, close attachment, 
etc., and is also earlier to bloom. 
M $1.25. 
TRAFALGAR (Klein 752) 470 (M). A very good dark reddish purple with 
a distinctly outlined white edging around each petal. Although we have 
grown this variety for a couple of years, we overlooked its value until last 
summer when, grown from acclimated bulbs, it really showed us its best. 
The color is most attractive, just a little different from any other purple. 
It also seems to stand unfavorable weather better than many other dark 
glads. It opens about 7 large, nicely ruffled florets on very good spikes. 
Approved, N.A.G.C, trial garden system, 1952. 
M .40, S .25, Bulblets 10-.25. 
TYRONE (Deam ’52) 466 (EM). One of the top lavenders introduced in 
recent years, Tyrone has amassed quite an imposing show record. It will 
also be a valuable cutflower variety, with its good color and other fine 
qualities. A clear medium shade of lavender with a small white center; the 
few rose-lavender dots not detracting from the pleasing effect. It will open 
about 8 on fairly tall spikes. 
L .50, M .30, S .20, Bulblets 8-.25, 40-$1.00.
