Sandman ee days) (Picardy x Ro- 
sabella) Sandman has superb, sculptured florets of a 
smooth. sandy-salmon hue with a sharp disk of ivory 
in the throat. What a spike maker! For beauty it has 
few equals but unhappily the bulblets are difficult to 
grow.

Sans Souci oe iss days U,V, 
Konynenberg x Joe Wagner) Named after Frederick 
the Great’s pleasure palace at Potsdam (“Without 
Care”). This spire-like scarlet beckons across the 
field. Its rounded fiorets have an easy grace, its color 
a lucent glow. Robust and precocious, few glads cut 
as well from small sizes. Sans Souci is deserving of 
its rank as’ a vleading scarlet.

“Fire Opal was really my A-1 1953 thrill. Boy, I 
can’t get over that one. Glad I let that bulb split too, 
since I got two fine spikes, 17 buds, 25-inch flowerhead, 
7 open, fine balance. Great color, out of this world. 
This brings back old Beacon to me, but of course 
much, much better. Incidentally, I have preserved 
yon record in kodachrome, so I can prove it.”

Sierra Snow $951) (30 days) 
(Arctic Snow x Elizabeth the Queen) White as new- 
fallen snow on the lofty Sierras is this variety. As the 
Sierras are high among mountains so is Sierra Snow 
tall among glads. A grand commercial that opens 
many large, ruffled florets at once. The connoisseur will 
object some to the tawny, cream throat overlaid with a 
faint purple line but nonetheless this snowy glad de- 
serves a spot in every garden.

Snow Clad e e e e (80 days) (Florence 
Nightingale x White Sport of Elizabeth the Queen) 
Another grand white from the brush of one of Amer- 
ica’s foremost hybridizers, Jack W. Harris. He already 
has given us Florence Nightingale and Sierra Snow, 
and now, Snowclad seems destined to be widely grown, 
also. It is a clean-cut, starchy, cream-throated, ala- 
baster white; a 5-6 footer!

A "living picture" of ROSARIO glads, in a triangular 
grouping with creamy dahlias and lythrum as a center 
of interest. Note how the placement of the hosta 
foliage creates a feeling of upward movement, while 
the glad foliage enlivens the silhouette.
