SHIRLEY TEMPLE 
SHIRLEY TEMPLE 
(Pruitt, 1937) 
I consider myself fortunate in being able to 
help introduce this wonderful new Glad for 
Mr. D. S. Pruitt. This fine seedling is a giant 
creamy white with creamy yellow throat 
blotches. Although very heavily ruffled, it 
develops long tapering spikes which are 
rather unusual in ruffled Glads, and what is 
more unusual for heavy textured ruffled 
varieties, it opens up well to the tip. While 
very large, this is a refined and beautiful 
flower. Contrary to my usual custom of not 
offering any variety that I have not grown 
myself, I feel this is well worth listing as I 
have had the opportunity of seeing the 
flower, both at my own home from spikes 
presented me by Mr. Pruitt and at Grants 
Pass where it won first place as the best 
exhibition seedling. A good grower and 
propagator. No. 1 bulbs, $10.00 each; No. 2 
bulbs, $7.50 each; No. 3 bulbs, $5.00 each; 
bulblets, $1.00 each.

MY FORMER INTRODUCTIONS 
SIEGFRIED (1936). A novelty Glad with 
rather small florets but many of them open 
at one time. In some sections this did not do 
well the past year but others give good re¬ 
ports of it. Probably should be grown to 
bloom in the fall for best results, although 
it does quite well with me during warm 
weather. Rose pink overlaid red with white 
throat and white splashes on the upper 
petals. A very pretty novelty Glad when well 
grown. See 1936 catalogue for more complete 
description and photo. Large bulbs, $1.50 
each; M. $1.00 each; S. 50c each; Bits. 15c 
each, 10 for $1.20. 
FLAMING METEOR (1934). Bright deep 
red self. Five or six large round flowers 
open on about the tallest spikes of any of 
the varieties I grow. Does not always have 
perfect facing from large bulbs but usually 
comes quite good and smaller sizes average 
fine in facing of the florets. Makes good 
spikes from even Nos. 5 and 6 bulbs. About 
the most vigorous grower in my garden. 
Many are reporting that this is fine in the 
midwest and other sections and several write 
that Flaming Meteor has held up well in 
temperatures over 100 degrees. Not a rapid 
propagator but produces a fair number of 
bulblets from medium size bulbs. Bulblets 
grow quite readily making many large bulbs. 
The demand is very heavy and I do not care 
to spare more bulblets in quantity this year. 
Large bulbs, 12c each, $1.00 per 10; M. 8c 
each, 60c per 10; S. 30c per 10; Bits. 10 
for 10c.
