Right from our earliest experience in growing Glads, at the time when “America” 
was “the finest thing out,” has been and perhaps always will be to grow the very best 
obtainable, not only on this continent, but also from foreign countries, wherever out¬ 
standing varieties are originated. 
Our listing this year includes more than a dozen varieties that we had to pay 
from $100.00 to $300.00 per each bulb, when first offered, that you can now buy at 
from 2 for $0.10 or 2 for $0.12, etc. Mr. Frederick Christ blooms just as large and 
fine now at $0.25 each as it did when we first bloomed it in 1925 from a $300.00 bulb. 
Mother Machree blooms the same unusual color now as in 1927 from a $100.00 bulb, 
and now Picardy is just as fine a Glad today at $0.10 as it was five years ago at 
$20.00. Every Glad-lover can surely afford to treat himself with a liberal lot of the 
finest or unusual, the kinds you have been longing for; the price don’t stand in the w'ay 
any longer, it is only a small fraction of former values. 
It may interest some reader of our list to know where they all came from; many 
are not familiar with the names of the originators. Many of the foreign varieties are 
now well known and great favorites with the “Glad Fans”; others again are later 
introductions and some listed for the first time, but all at only a fraction of original 
cost. Most of them are offered for even less than the import duty. They are not all 
“world beaters” but all are surely interesting and so different in some respect or other, 
and no “glad garden” is complete without a liberal sprinkling of these “immigrants” 
from far away lands. Here is a listing of 137 varieties and the countries of their birth:
