ELLIS ORIGINATIONS 
We are often asked as to which of our Glad Originations 
we consider best. Judging from the Blue Ribbons they have 
received, also from the many fine letters we have gotten 
through the years from growers in many states and countries, 
together with their performance in our own gardens, we 
especially recommend: New Era, Wings of Song, Golden 
Chimes, James Fitz James, W^hite Sword, Bonneville, Abe, 
Old Faithful, Royal Pink, Spanish Cavalier, Eric the Red, 
Coral Glow, Vista Bonita, Chief Multnomah, Red Roy, 
Golden Fleece, Red Chief, Commodore, Dorothy Wood, 
Edenmist, Mountain Girl, Whispering Hope. 
For prices on the above and many other fine varieties, we 
refer you to our Bulbalog, which is issued several times a 
year and is free on request. 
Recently one of the foremost writers of New York writ¬ 
ing for the magazines on the best new Glads, wrote us a 
letter from which we quote the following paragraph: 
“In my opinion the Ellis Originations you 
have turned out in the past few years can safely 
hold their own with those of any other hybrid¬ 
izer in this country or abroad. The percentage 
of really good ones is surprisingly high, and as 
they performed for me without any special cod¬ 
dling many of them were much better than 
others that have been widely publicized.” 
We could fill several folders of the size of this one with 
excerpts from the many fine letters received praising Ellis 
Originations.
