More ^^Glad Gossip” 
Yes, it was hot in “Cool Colorado” this past 
summer. But don’t let our Chamber of Com¬ 
merce know I said so. Just another very un¬ 
usual summer, you know. 
Well, the heat was toug-h on the Glads in 
bloom. Never before did I note so keenly the 
difference in varieties as affected by the heat. 
Nor the difference in a certain firmness or 
fiabbiness of spikes and blooms, whether very 
hot or not. 
Ever shake hands with someone whose hand 
felt like a cold pancake? Well, some Glad 
spikes are just like that. Most others are 
firm, s6me especially so. 
At random I recall the following varieties 
that have strong, firm yet not clumsy spikes, 
witli petals of good, lasting substance. But 
please do not get the idea that many I do not 
mention are not also good in this respect. 
Space permits mention of only a few that I 
especially like: 
Mildred Louise, Betty Co-Ed, Minuet, Maid 
of Orleans, Golden Cup, Graf Zeppelin, Acadia, 
King Arthur, Duna, Debonair, Blue Admiral, 
Picardy, Sonatine, Early Dawn, Alayne, Sal- 
bach’s Orchid—and of course Red Phipps, Star 
of Bethlehem and Miss Greeley. These are 
just a few of the many excellent kinds— 
enough to start you to thinking and want to 
write me, ‘Why didn’t you include this and 
that?” Sure, they also are fine. So let’s not 
argue about it. 
When to Take Up Bulbs 
If your planting is not large, better let the 
Glads remain in the ground until well into 
October in most sections. But if the leaves 
turn somewhat yellow or brown, it indicates 
that the bulbs have matured and are ready to 
lift. 
The plants from small bulbs and bulblets 
may not turn brown by freezing weather, so 
you must just take them up towards the end 
of the season, regardless of how the tops look. 
The bulbs will be OK, especially those from 
bulblets. Bulbs from bulblets may be stopped 
at any stage of their growth. Will cure and 
be good, sound planting stock for the next 
year. May shrink some, but this does not 
impair vitality. 
But dig all bulbs before tops die down. Let¬ 
ting the bulbs remain in ground too long tends 
to bad looking and diseased bulbs. 
Another rule is to take up the large bulbs 
when the outer skin or husk has become 
smooth. Before large bulbs mature the husk 
is usually wrinkled. When this husk or out¬ 
side coat becomes smooth and firm the bulbs 
will not shrink much after being dug. 
OPEN SEASON POR BUYING —Pall and 
early winter buying is gaining favor from year 
to year. This for the reason the customer is 
more likely to secure just the kind and sizes 
of bulbs ordered -and desired. Just another 
case of the early bird. Prices often lower also.
