A BLUE BOOK OF RARE GLADS 
and light to medium lavendar, completely self, heavily ruffled 
with seven open. The color was so remarkable that it simply 
stood out. There was absolutely no comparison with Minuet 
in this variety. Another one, a huge bronzy buff, with a color 
just a few shades warmer than Wasaga and completely dom¬ 
inating that varietv in beauty, opened seven also on a fine 
spike from a small bulb. A beautiful blue, completely and 
solidly clear medium blue and no other color will describe 
this glad—was a perfect dream. However, when I mentioned 
this one to the good doctor he stated this was one of his old¬ 
er ones and that there were others that surpassed it by miles. 
What do you think of that? Here I go and pick out a blue 
glad that is completely superior to any blue yet grown by me 
and then, presto, it is just one of the older ones and there are 
far better ones. I believe that the finest blues the world hasi 
yet seen will come from this collection. 
I could go on for hours mentioning these seedlings, but 
why? They won’t be available for several years yet, because 
we’ve finally decided that stock of them spall be in sufficient 
quantity that a low price will place them within the reach of 
all, before introducing them. There is one consolation, how¬ 
ever, and that is, that most of all these seedlings seem to be 
fine propagators, so luck with us, we will soon be able to 
supply you with these fine glads. 
Perhaps, I may seem over enthusiastic to many of you. 
I know that perhaps I am too rabid a giad man to be'ieve 
when it comes down to real glads, but listen to me, my glad 
friends: I am confident of the fact that I do know a real glad 
when I see one, and I have seen them, in the Scheer seedlings. 
Proof? You want proof of my belief in these seedlings? 
HERE IS YOUR PROOF! —I am herewith, in this catalogue 
and with the additional list enclosed, offering my entire 
stocks of nearly all varieties I have been growing, both 
domestic and foreign, at a low price in order that I may give 
any full time to the growing of over 50,000 : seedlings, the 
selection and propagation of the same, and the subsequent 
dissemination. Isn’t that prcof enough? If a man offers the 
cream of the world’s produce in the glad industry, he must 
nave reason for so doing. My reason for so doing is, as I have 
said before, the SCHEER SEEDLINGS. And a right good
