1935 INTRODUCTIONS 
Ever since becoming headquarters in the United States for J. W. Crow’s 
originations, we have marveled at what he was able to do with the gladiolus, 
but only regret that out of thousands of his seedlings only small stocks are 
available, making it impossible to name and introduce them until such time 
when we can produce stocks enough. Of the two named and introduced last 
year and shown for the first time this year at the Michigan state show, we 
can assure you that they were the talk of the show. In fact they were so 
well received that before the close of the show over half of this year’s crop 
of bulbs was sold so that only a limited amount remains for your who are 
the early birds. 
Well, folks, we’ll let them introduce themselves. 
The Dry Weather Twins 
We were born in Canada and raised in the United States; we both love 
hot, dry weather; we don’t care to be babied or petted; we would rather 
put on our own makeup; and we sure do have a peaches and cream com¬ 
plexion. Want to meet us? 
I am Bit O’Heaven. I know I am young and unspoiled and may be a 
bit haughty. I am tall, about 5 feet, 6 inches, but well built, always hold 
myself erect, and always keep my face or faces (as some say I have 8 or 10 
at a time), turned one way. I have a slight hood over my faces but it is 
not very noticeable. I use a nice bright orange rouge on my face and a 
light yellow rouge on my throat and it’s good, too, because it leaves no 
streaks or flakes. Sh-, one lady said I have 26 faces inside of ten days 
and every one of them the same. It takes me about 75 days to put on my 
full makeup but I sure t*.ry to put it on right so you will like me. Would you 
like to meet me? 
I am Streak of Butter, and like my sister, feel I am some glad, only I 
think I’m a little better because I’m bigger, taller and stronger. I stand 
almost 6 feet in my stocking feet and just love to grow in hot, dry wealther, 
whether it rains or not. I am just as straight and sturdy as my sister but 
it takes me a little longer to put on my makeup, about 90 days, because 
there is more of me. I use a nice soft buff rouge on my cheeks, blending it 
to a salmon at the edges, and use a very soft pleasing golden rouge on my 
throat. Some say they can see through me and that I use a salmon pink 
rouge on the back of my face. I do not have quite as many faces at a time 
as my sister, but my face is much larger than my sister’s and I do not weab 
'■ja. hood. I have just as many faces as I pass in review before you. Would 
you like to have me come up and see you sometime? 
Yours till we see you, 
The Dry Weather Twins
