tion of top quality spikes. Princess, becoming the leading lavender for all uses, has outdone 
itself this year with consistent 414’ spikes and up to 10 florets open at once. Tyrone, taller 
than any of those in this color is getting much attention commercially while Francesca, 
another tall one, is our personal favorite for the most beautiful of all glads. The giant of 
this group is Attraction, one of the finest Canadian show glads. Long rows of Elizabeth the 
Queen, Lavender Lace, and Crown Jewel give evidence of their superior cut flower qualities. 
Most unusual is Paisley with its half moon of white on the lower petals and Falcon with its 
distinctive coloring and form. Beautiful little Trim has perfect 300 size show spikes and 
Wedgewood has perfectly sculptured individual florets. 
The deep lavender class is well represented by Noweta Rose and Parthiena on the show 
table, by Parade for early cut flowers, and by Col. Atkinson for late cut flowers. Not to be left 
out is Pirate Chief with its large spikes and bold novel color effect. 
Leading the purple varieties for exhibition is King David with its straight spikes and 
fluted florets while rows of husky growing The Rajah are being cut heavily for our orists. 
The newer Purple Burma is magnificent with its large ruffled spikes of rich true purple. 
Also eye-catching are the consistent growth of Royal Scot, a fine commercial; the rich and 
attractively flecked color of Wonder Boy; and the heavy texture and ruffling of Kashmir. 
Adding greatly to the light blue class is Violet Charm, perfectly formed spikes and 
many open blooms. The older standbys — Blue Beauty, High Life, and Blue Bonnett continue 
to perofrm well. Gustav Mahler attracts attention because of its odd grayish blue color. 
The majestic spikes of Salmon’s Sensation are a sight to behold with their deep violet 
blue color and massive blooms. Also noteworthy are Indigo and Crater Lake, two fine exhibi- 
tion varieties. Still a favorite is richly colored Abu Hassan. 
The many and varied smoky varieties always attract the smoky fans and those who like 
the unusual. There are model spikes of Tan Glo, now the leading exhibition smoky; Copper 
Lustre, huge spikes in a smooth brown tone; Prunella, a fine new one from Australia; and 
Southern Belle, a smoky pink exhibition variety. Also well liked are varieties such as Stormy 
W eather, Mesa Mist, Persian Rug, and many other distinctive ones in this group. 
Of much interest in the A. O. C. class are the new green varieties — Erin, Greenland, and 
Chartreuse. They have added a beautiful new color in the glad world and these green varieties 
are also good in many other respects. Copper-colored Cherokee now reigns as the top A. O. C. 
exhibition variety while Robinson Crusoe has a most unusual color combination with its 
chocolate marbling on a tan background. Others worth noting are huge Salamanca in a 
grayish buff color, clear toned Buckeye Bronze, and of the older varieties Vagabond Prince, 
Tunias Elite, R. B., and Choctaw.
