Regardless of the fact that there are a host of new glads 
and seedlings being offered to the glad buying public, we call 
your attention especially to four good ones and trust that you 
will at least give them a trial. Each of these have show records 
and field test records envied by some less fortunate. 
Creve Couer 
(Young) 
Originator’s description. 
Burnt orange in color with blotch of deep orange red which 
is tipped and dusted with creamy yellow. Robust healthy grower, 
producing plenty of bulblets that germinate readily. Blooms 
100 to 105 days. This should be a favorite for late blooming as 
it is full of autumn colors. 
Has been in competition five times the past two seasons 
and has five ribbons to its credit. Won 2nd at Illinois State 
show in 1936 in basket class after spikes had been in cold stor¬ 
age for ten days. 
Legion Trial Garden Report. 90 days, 48” tall, 24” flower 
head, 20 buds, 8 open, 4” florets. 
Mary Ansteen 
(Young) 
Originator’s description. 
Color, deep begonia rose (some call it salmon rose) with 
throat markings of soft orange red overlaid with carmine, 
blending beautifully with body color. Broad rounded petals, 
slightly ruffled. Erect healthy grower, never crooks. One of the 
best propagators and germinators I have ever grown, and makes 
many large bulbs from bulblets. Blooms in about 80 days. Visitors 
were attracted by the captivating beauty of this glad as they 
saw it growing in my gardens the past summer. One large 
grower spotted it a hundred yards away. 
Legion Trial Garden Report. 80 days, 40” tall, 18” flower 
head, 17 buds, 6 open, 4” floret. 
We add a few words by saying that the foregoing fails to 
produce a mental picture to compare with the blooms we had 
last season. Even though it is not a giant we prize it as highly 
as any glad we grow. It is a beauty and has the good habits a 
beauty should have.
