THE FOSS HEATON GLAD GARDENS, CRESTON, IOWA 
RITA BECK 
(Fischer). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Shrimp Pink. (49th in 1931). 
Similar to Mrs. P. W. Sisson but much larger. If it were more reliable in send¬ 
ing up the fine spikes it is capable of doing, it would be unbeatable. Some seasons 
no finer Glad on the farm. 
DARK PINK 
CATHERINE COLEMAN 
(Coleman). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Geranium Pink, small feather Pome¬ 
granate Purple. (46th). 
The Glad with small slender leaves that extend along the spike, making cutting 
a little difficult. Capable of producing fine blooms. Extremely tall, perfect place¬ 
ment, nice form, and a pleasing geranium pink. 
MRS. LEON DOUGLAS 
(Diener). Late mid-season- Ridgway: Rose Doree. (7th). 
A very popular dark pmk. It was first in a National Symposium a few years 
ago. Probably the tallest growing Glad, and very heavy foliage. But the flower head 
is not always correct, being sometimes short with poor placement. A live refreshing 
pink. Has some tendency to crook. Very good in spite of its faults. 
MR. W. H. PHIPPS 
(Diener). Late. Ridgway: Light Geranium Pink. (3rd). 
The world’s best Glad for years now has to be content with third place, Minuet 
and Marmora advancing to the first and second places. The Phipps habit of not al¬ 
ways doing her best has lost her votes- No Glad more gorgeous than this one, and 
with good culture I usually get these fine spikes. It can stand high culture, and should 
have it, if you expect these wonderful spikes. A fine pink of great size, and many 
open blooms. 
WINGED VICTORY 
(Briggs). Mid-season. Ridgway: Geranium Pink, flaked Scarlet. 
Probably the biggest florets in Glads. A rich pink, several open on a good spike, 
and nicely placed, but the petals are of the flaring, or winged type. The giant 
among Glads. 
SALMON PINK 
BETTY NUTHALL 
(Salbach). Late. Ridgway: Bittersweet Pink, throat Pinard Yellow. (4th). 
The most outstanding introduction of recent years. The world wants a golden 
pink, or an orange pink, and this one comes near it. Very heavy foliage that is low 
set on the plant, making the spikes easy to cut- The spikes are very tall and always 
straight, with many open blooms, that keep well and open up well after the spikes 
are cut. A very dependable and beautiful Glad. 
GLORIANA 
(Betcher). Mid-season. Ridgway: Salmon Color. (21st). 
A very popular Prim on account of its color, which is a pure salmon. The golden 
throat is beautiful. 
NETHERLAND PRINCE 
(Stevens). Late mid-season. Ridgway: Light Strawberry Pink. 
A very tall growing salmon pink, with large blooms. Fine growing habits. 
PICARDY 
(Palmer). Early mid-season. Ridgway: Shrimp Pink- (5th). 
This Prim has risen extremely rapidly in the ratings. One of the most beautiful 
colors in Glads. Many open on a tall graceful spike. The form is delightful. 
SHEILA 
(Coleman). Early. Ridgway: Strawberry Pink, throat Baryta Yellow. 
Here is a Glad that will not send up a spike unless it is a good one. From an 
early planting of assorted sizes one may have a constant supply of blooms from July 
until frost. Always very tall, pure salmon pink color, and good keeper. Not many 
open, but large and showy. Very popular color.
