An exciting ethereal white Glad, a beauty of fashion. We believe Larch- 
mont the most beautiful Glad in its class. Wonderful grower, resistant to 
heat, will not crook or misplace and most of all very healthy. Bulblet pro- 
duction and germination the best. 
Field growth 58 inches, 28 inch or over flower head. Foliage upright and 
deep green. The wide open 5 inch florets are ruffled, fluted and needlepoint, 
22 to 24 buds, 8 or more open, 8 showing color. The beauty of Larchmont 
should be seen to be appreciated. It was named by H. M. Sherman, Jr. for 
his home town. Mr. Sherman grew Larchmont for four years and recom- 
mends it for introduction. 
Shown as seedling 1-51-50 Larchmont won its shade of high wards.

This new introduction has been thoroughly tested as a seedling for sev- 
eral years. Last summer it was submitted for test to and received an approval 
from the Hybridizers’ Guild. The 51/,” florets are a clean meduim rose red 
and their rich color plus the variety’s excellent growing habits make this a 
fine commercial prospect. Under various trying conditions in 10 different 
areas in the United States and Canada this past summer the average spike 
was 55” tall, with 18-19 buds on a 26” head and 6 large florets open. Under 
good growing conditions it will grow over 60” tall with over a 30” flowerhead. 
While Cheer has won a number of seedling awards at the shows its greatest 
potential appears to be a a cut flower due to its strong growth, outstanding 
color and ability to perform under hot or dry conditions. 
Prices: Large $2.50 Medium $2.00 Small $1.50 Bulblets 40 cents
