A BLUE BOOK OF RARE GLADS 
reason, too. I will venture tc state that I could, over a sum¬ 
mer's period, pick from this cc-llection a selection of glads 
amounting to several hundred that would equal, or I shall 
say be superior to, the present day best. 
This year’s introductions, CHIEF RED BIRD and BEL¬ 
TANE THE STRONG, are two fine varieties that are as good, 
or better, than any competition on the market. I want to state 
however that these varieties are of the older crosses and will 
menion that there are far superior ones to come yet. How¬ 
ever, I believe that they will both become the talk of the 
glad world, and as they propagate fine, I will recommend 
that those wishing to make a good investment in a future 
commercial glad, SURELY WILL invest in these two varieties. 
We mention this because we believe they will be sought 
after for various reasons—first, color; second, size, and third, 
behavior. All characteristics are ideal. It is with the greatest 
of pleasure I announce the above informat on to you and I 
trust you will be interested in the SCHEER SEEDLINGS. 
OYER THE GARDEN FENCE 
(Continued from mside front cover) 
upon your faces, as you begin to realize, for the first t : me, 
that you are indeed looking upon the master work of a 
hybridizer. Over enthusiastic, you say? Read what others, 
also experts in the field, say about them. No, friends, this 
little praise is very little indeed to ward what is due the 
man of whom I am speaking. 
That fact is why I am so jubilant as I write this little 
introduction to you. That is why I would love to say “Howdy’' 
over the Garden fence every morning next summer, and be 
able to show you spikes of glads with colors never appreached 
for sheer beauty of form and color. 
And now, shall I say: Try some cf these new ones and be 
convinced? Will you share my pleasures with me this coming 
season ? I hope that each of you will treat yourself to the 
best , and believe me that is putting it mildly. May I remark: 
“The best cannot compete with the Scheer originations”? If 
you don’t believe me. just try them. 
See you again, over the Garden fence. 
Yours for a better standard in Giaddom, 
— H. J. N.
