GLADS FOR 1955 
GOOD MORNING (503) Lacey 1954. A giant of 
giants, outdoing King Size in our garden. It will 
take the heat, too. Color similar to Columbia. 
Up to 8 huge florets open at once of excellent 
attachment and placement. A glad to keep your 
eye on. 
GORGEOUS DEB (530) Wilson 1949 (85). Possibly 
the most heavily ruffled of all glads. Often wins 
as “Most Ruffled” in the show. Eight florets open 
of light salmon with a yellow throat on massive 
spikes. Rather loose attachment. 
GRAPEWINE (470) Rich 1953 (72). A beautiful, 
clear wine purple that opens 7 heavily ruffled 
florets on long tlowerheads. Very strong, healthy 
grower. 
HARRISBURGER (552) Mikle 1953 (100). A mag- 
nificent, clear, deep cherry red that seems to 
have everything. Easily opens 8 wide-open florets 
on perfect spikes. Everyone who has seen this 
rates it the tinest red ever introduced. Bulblets 
are small but make vigorous growth. 
HIAWATHA (436) Beardmore 1947 (90). Clear, 
fire cracker scarlet with up to 8 open with most 
of the remaining buds in color. Lightly ruffled. 
HOWARD V. WRIGHT (410) Kadel 1952 (82). It is 
not often that a glad of such outstanding traits 
as Howard V. Wright possess makes its appear- 
ance. Huge, formal spikes of light yellow with 
6-8 perfectly placed florets open at once. As 
grown here since its year of introduction it is 
fault-free. 
IVOREE (506) Smith 1951 (90). A deep cream that 
can be grown to giant proportions. Up to 8 open 
on long flowerheads. This will garner its share 
of ribbons. Mr. Wesley W. Hyde, Rochester, N. Y., 
writes, “I took the spike of Ivoree to the Bing- 
hamton show and got a First, Best 500, and Best 
in Section on it. It had 8 open out of 21 buds on 
a 28-inch flowerhead. I am going to order more 
Ivoree.”

standing glad that consistently produces long, 
formal spikes. Up to 10 open heavily ruffled 
florets of salmon-pink. 
JULIA MAE (460) Pommert 1953 (74). A pale rose- 
pink, opening 8-9 florets on a tall, wiry spike. It 
is an easy cutter and opens perfectly from a very

dimerican Home Achievement Award winner in 
KAREN (471) Mazur 1952. A very striking rose- 
purple with a cream throat. Tall, easy grower 
with up to 8 florets open at once. This is becom- 
ing very popular. Bulblets are rather slow in 
germinating.

pure white with 7-9 frilled florets open on a 26- 
inch flowerhead. A seedling of White Cloud, it

sesses great commercial qualities.

Really a white Spic & Span.

pastel pink with up to 10 florets of perfect place- 
ment open at once. 
PINK CHIFFON (440) Fischer 1953 (75). A cool, 
lilac-pink, a pure self color. Up to 7-8 open on 
average flowerheads. This is in the same color 
class as Phantom Beauty but it is a much livelier 
color—just the shade of pink florists love to use. 
PINT SIZE (166) Evans 1954 (70). A tiny miniature 
lavender with a creamy white throat. Total height

lavender with a cream-white throat. Opens up to 
11 ruffled florets of perfect placement in formal

tifully ruffled, medium yellow with an amber lip. 
8-10 fluted, needlepoint florets open on a tall,
