bulbs. Bulblets of excellent size are produced in pro- 
fusion, and they are viable, but they won’t germinate 
well unless cracked or peeled. 
Although Bambi is a sure winner in the Any Other 
Color class we believe its chief forte lies in its value 
as a Subject for the fabrication of unique and exotic 
arrangements. Another point of consideration is its 
use in breeding. Discerning hybridizers will see in 
Bambi a potential parent of a long line of novelty 
progeny. Properly mated, one of its parents being 
a large type glad. it is possible that Bambi may be 
the fore runner of seedlings of similar coloring in the 
300, 400 and 500 classes. Bambi was Best Recent 
Introduction 100/200 at the Central International 
show at Rochester, Minnesota last Summer. There, 
too, in our commercial display its unique color in- 
spired the awe of every viewer. Likewise, in our 
display at the Chicago show where Mrs. Rohde fab- 
ricated two sensational exotic arrangements of Bam- 
bi, the spectators were literally stopped in the aisles. 
A composite of the various comments overheard 
would go something like this. ‘“How unique! I 
didn’t realize there was such a beautiful color in any 
flower!”’

BASHFUL (Kuhn ’42) — 190 M 
Though quite short headed this novelty is so un-

blotch on a ‘yellow throat. 
L. 2-25¢e; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢ 
BETTY BLONDE (Deming ’51) — 200 M 
Betty Blonde is a white sport of the well known Betty

and in good growing and propagating habits — like it 
in every respect, in fact, except color, which is a 
pleasing clean white. 
L. 2-25¢c; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢ 
BETTY BLUSHES (Deming ’51) — 240 M 
Betty Blushes is another sport, or possibly a color 
selection, of Betty Coed. At any rate it has varied 
from the prototype in the opposite direction of Betty 
Blonde, being a good deep pink as contrasted to the 
elusive shell pink of the Coed. Blushes also is a 
sturdy grower and propagator. 
L. 2-25¢e; M. 3-25c; S. 5-25¢ 
BLACK JACK (Brown) — 254 M 
One of the few black reds in small glads. Color is

for exotic arrangments. 
L. 15¢c; M. 2-25e¢; S. 3-25¢ 
BLUE LILY (Kunderd ’21) — 277 E 
Just about as close to blue as we have in glads. Also 
has interesting touch of yellow in throat. Good hab- 
its, including sound bulbs and good bulblet produc- 
tion which is not common in blues. 
L. 15¢e; M. 2-25e; S. 3-25¢ 
“Bulbs I have purchased from you have_ been grand, 
and I recommend them to everyone I know.’’—Mrs. 
Wi IB Sor JANE 
“T have never seen such a wide range of colors as in 
your miniature glads. The neighbors got a kick out of 
Atom and The Orchid, but the most unusual one of the 
lot was the green one. All I can say is that I have 
switched to miniatures, and the best place to get them 
is from Summit Gardens.’’—J.N., Il.
