AACHEN (Fountain of Waters). A beautiful daintily ruffled lustrous cream Glad. 
A seedling from Picardy crossed with Barth’s La Paloma and rather similar in size and 
shape to Picardy but possibly opens one or two more florets. This bloomed rather late 
the past season and the ‘spikes were not quite so long as formerly due probably to dry 
growing conditions which stunted the spikes of all the named varieties but if it con¬ 
tinues to make spikes as it did in former seasons, this will probably be the best com¬ 
mercial and exhibition variety in its class. Bulbs of any size $5.00 each. 
COLOSSUS. One of the largest Glads grown, reaching a size of 7*4 to 8 inches with¬ 
out special culture or fertilizing. A rich pink with small red feather on a cream ground. 
Sometimes lightly flecked and shaded slate but usually clear. Not always of the best of 
form but good considering its immense size. Has good facing and up to nine blooms open. 
A seedling from Picardy x Oregon and rather like Oregon in color and form but still 
larger. Not so refined as the other varieties listed here but yet a very attractive flower. 
Should be a contender on the show table. Good propagator. Bulbs of any size $5.00 each. 
CONQUEST. Light salmon pink with cream throat blotches is the color description 
of this variety. A very pleasing color combination in a large well opened ruffled flower. 
Florets of good texture on a long tapering spike. This usually does not open more than 
five or six florets at once but is possessed of a refinement that makes it most desirable 
for cutting. Parentage: Picardy x Seedling (Gloriana x Mrs. Sisson). A good propagator 
and a large stock permits the low introductory price of $2.50 per bulb. 
RIMA. Among the finest of all cut flower varieties, this beautiful lilac pink with 
cream throat should prove a popular commercial variety. The individual florets are large 
and well faced on long spikes with up to seven open. Very heat resistant for a flower of 
such delicate coloring. Grows somewhat taller and has more buds to the spike with me 
than Picardy which is one of its parents. The other parent was a seedling from Long¬ 
fellow and Pearl of California. Given a card of Commendation at the Maryland Trial 
Grounds. This has elicited very favorable comment from growers who have seen it. As 
it grows in the garden pink is the dominant color but when taken indoors, the lilac tones 
predominate. Opens up well indoors. A moderate propagator. Bulbs of any size $5.00 
each. As with the other varieties listed here, I am not offering bulblets for sale, but com¬ 
mercial growers desiring bulbs in quantity as outlined below may get a few bulblets free. 
ZUNI. A very richly colored smoky Glad. A refined combination of salmon and slate 
with inconspicuous light orange salmon feather. Florets of medium size, well faced with 
up to ten open on a tall long spike having a good number of buds still to bloom. I believe 
this has the most evenly and delicately ruffled petal edges of any variety I grow. One of 
the most beautiful smokies and a strong vigorous grower making good spikes and large 
bulbs frequently from bulblets. A seedling from Picardy and Lighthouse. I do not have 
much stock of this as yet although it is a rapid propagator. Bulbs of any size $5.00 each. 
SPECIAL COLLECTION: 
One bulb of each of the above for $18.00. Six of each 
for $100.00. 
SPECIAL ON RIMA: 
25 bulbs of any size for $100.00 with 50 bulblets free. 
12 bulbs of any size for $50.00 with 24 bulblets free. 
5 bulbs of any size for $25.00 with 10 bulblets free. 
SPECIAL ON CONQUEST: 
25 bulbs of any size for $50.00 with 50 bulblets free. 
12 bulbs of any size for $25.00 with 24 bulblets free. 
6 bulbs of any size for $15.00 with 10 bulblets free. 
No free bulblets on orders for less than the amounts named above. 
Prices on my 1937 introductions will not be lowered next year to the point where 
purchasers this year cannot come out on them. I expect to list Aachen, Colossus, Rima, 
and Zuni at $3.00 each for large bulbs and 30 cents each for bulblets, and Conquest at 
half these prices in 1938. 
IRAK 
A grey sport of Bagdad which seems to be like its parent in every way except color. 
Perhaps every seedling grower who has worked much with smokies has had the experi¬ 
ence of growing some beautiful greys only to find that they are very poor growers after 
the first year and are almost impossible to propagate. This Bagdad sport is both vigorous 
and prolific like its parent. Almost neutral grey but with enough life in its color to make 
it beautiful. Doutless some will not like this but I consider it a beautiful flower. A 
limited quantity of bulbs at 50c each for any size. I advise early ordering if you have a 
choice of size.
