Introducing: 
PAUL BUNYAN 
(540) Seedling No. 47-11. (Seedling x Seedling) 
THE LARGEST GLAD we have ever grown. A huge salmon pink with deep 
rose throat marking. The color is just a shade lighter than Spic and Span. 
The 544” ruffled florets are of very heavy texture, with good placement 
and firm attachment. Opens 8 to 10 with most of the remaining buds in 
color and a total of 22 buds. Flowerhead 29”, height 60”. Blooms in 85 
days. Propagation and germination are both good. 
We believe Paul Bunyan will be a real contender in the giant class. Its 
size can be judged by the picture on the front cover, yet it is not coarse 
looking as the florets are nicely ruffled and fluted and it has a lot of class 
for so large a glad. We have had very good reports on the performance 
of Paul Bunyan in test gardens located in New J ersey, New York, Penn- 
sylvania and Idaho. 
Large each $2.00, 10 for $16.00 
Medium each $1.50, 10 for $12.00 
Bulblets 10 for $3.00, 100 for $24.00 
NOTE: The picture on our front cover shows Kenneth, age 5, son of George 
Melk, almost hidden behind a huge spike of Paul Bunyan. 
FORTUNE (422) 
1954 Introduction 
BRIGHT clear golden orange without blotch or markings. Color about mid- 
way between Orange Gold and Patrol. The 414” florets have slightly 
rolled back petals, giving it a needle point effect. Opens 6 to 7 with 6 
additional buds in color on a well balanced spike of 19 buds. Attachment 
is good and florets and buds are nicely spaced on a stretchy flowerhead 
of 26”. Field height 58”, 
Blooms in approximately 80 days. Fortune should prove to be a valuable 
addition to the orange class because of its bright glowing color and de- 
pendable growing habits. Makes well proportioned spikes even from 
small bulbs. 
Produces extra fine bulbs and is a good propagator and germinator.
