florets of good texture, slightly wavy, and well attached on a strong 
straight stem. Black Cherry makes a beautiful exhibition spike and 
is a very good seed and pollen parent. It has led its class in the 
National Symposium for three years, and at the Genesee Valley G.S. 
Show at Rochester, 1954, it won a section championship.

BONNIE LASS = (1951) 468 Class. 85 days to bloom. Bonnie 
Lass is a very clean, pure orchid lavender, with a white blotch dif- 
fused into lavender on a single lip petal. Midribs are lighter and 
slightly raised or creased. Petals have frilled wavy edges and are of 
good texture. Attachment is good, facing and spacing excellent. The 
stalk is slender, but very strong and always straight. It opens very 
well in water when cut in bud, holds its size to tip, and blooms well 
from any size bulb. Very healthy, and quite prolific, and good germ- 
ination of bulblets. The growth is up to 60” tall, 25” flowerhead, 414” 
to 5” blooms. 20 buds and opens up to 8. This is a fine show flower 
and excellent commercial.

sively for cut flowers and basket work. It is very healthy and near- 
ly a 100% cutter from all size bulbs.

days to bloom. Cavalier is a giant bluish mauve self color, with 
lightly frilled edges, and fluted centers in the petals of the wide open 
florets. It is a very vigorous grower reaching a height of 66”, with 
30” flowerhead and 6” blooms, 20 buds, and 6 blooms open, with 6 in 
color. The facing and spacing of the florets is excellent as is their 
texture and attachment. The bulblet production is good, germination 
easy and excellent.

DESERT DUSK = (1950) 586 Class. 100 days. Desert Dusk is 
one of the most beautiful smokies, with a huge expanse of bloom and 
fine overall habits. The color is smoky siate salmon with a blue over- 
cast, and an orange red blotch. The florets have lightly frilled edges, 
good substance, are long lasting, and their facing and spacing is 
excellent. The plant has a strong, straight, medium spike, healthy 
foliage and bulbs. Bulblet production and germination is fair to good. 
It grows up to 57” tall, 30” flower head, 6” blooms, 22 buds, and opens 
8 in the field. In Empire State Shows it has won 24 blue ribbons and 
3 section rosettes, up to 1954.

FANTASY = (1952) The new parrot type Glad. Class 440. 
(Mutation of Strutter). 90 days. This is named for its resemblance 
to the Parrot Tulip, Fantasy, as it has a similar combination of 
coloring and type of bloom. It is a beautiful peach pink with char- 
treuse spurs on the back of the petals and these spurs carry their 
exotic coloring through to the front. The texture, fluting, and ruff- 
ling is exceptionally heavy. The clear, soft, beautiful colors, com- 
bined with unusual 24 hour keeping quality, make Fantasy a dream 
for corsage and arrangements. It grows about the same as standard 
varieties with a height of 50”, with a flowerhead of 22”, 5” blooms 
16 to 17 buds, and opens 6 blooms with 7 in color. The buds are 
pink at the tip, with the base chartreuse, changing to pink as they 
open. Fantasy’s pollen sets seed readily on other varieties; it is pro- 
lific and the bulblets grow readily. All size bulbs and even bulblets 
bloom true to type. This jis the original Fantasy and not the one ad- 
vertised by Kellogg’s.

GARDEN GOLD - (1948) 512 Class. 90 days. This is still 
the most beautiful and gorgeous deep yellow that we have seen and is 
probably the best show Glad in its class. The color is pure clean 
golden yellow with slightly deeper thrvat, and without any flaking 
or foreign color. The florets are of good texture, lightly ruffled, and 
have frilled edges. Facing is excellent and attachment is good, on a 
tall straight and strong spike. The plant and bulb are both very 
clean and healthy. We had spikes in our growing field, without 
irrigation, that grew 67” tall, with 32” flowerhead, 7” blooms, 21 buds, 
and 6 open.
