frilled. 15c each. 
Gladdie Boy 
GLADDIE GIRL—We have been search¬ 
ing our test planting several years to 
find a Glad we thought worthy of this 
name. After selecting several different 
ones and later discarding them, we 
bought the entire stock of another 
grower’s production to name it Gladdie 
Girl. This in turn was discarded as not 
■good enough. Now we have it from our 
own productions. You see, the trouble 
was caused by a definite decision that it 
must be better than Gladdie Boy. Tht 
style is somewhat similar to Gladdie Boy, 
but it is taller and much more attractive. 
Flowers are good size, ruffled. The 
two lower inside petals are rich plush, 
wax yellow. Other petals are flushed 
with bittersweet pink, changing to Gren¬ 
adine pink at the tips. Good long bud 
spikes and six perfect flowers open at 
one time. $25.00 each. 
See bottom page 20 for prices 
on three or more of a kind.
