Pfitzer’s Lovely Pink Glad—^^SONATINE” 
Introducer’s description: “Color Atlas-rose, with small cherry-red blotches. The florets are 
exceptionally large, having very broad petalsi, and are strongly attached to the stems which 
grow to a height of 6 feet 6 inches. For cut flowers a wonderful future is predicted for 
Sonatine.” 
To me and many others, “Atlas-rose” means “watermelon-pink.” At least I think of a 
luscious watermelon when I spy a grand spike of Sonatine. 
Sonatine Is one of the few Olads that you can cut without bending over—very much. You 
will have a fine long spike without cutting it low. 
The spike is stiff and tough, seldom if ever crooks, ideal for shipping because buds lie 
■close to the stem, and there is no excess baggage to the stem or spike. 
Sonatine has been high priced, but this season we can offer it way below former prices 
and within the reach of all. 
New Sonatine Prices: (Ijarge, 12c; 10—$1.00) (Medium, 2—14c; 10—60c) (Small, lO—COc). 
See other pages for prices on larger lots.

There are two ways to keep yourself in good 
and regular standing on our mailing list. 
One is to send an order. The other is to drop 
us a line asking for catalogues. 
We do not expect an order from everyone, 
every year. No mall order house does. And 
we are not stingy with catalogues, so long as 
they last. 
We appreciate names sent us by customers 
and friends. But wish such names “hand 
picked.” Only one, or a few, from any one 
person, (^nnot use long lists. Do not offer 
any pay or premiums for names. Consider 
that you do your friend as big a favor as you 
do us when you have us place a name on our 
list for "Long's Garden Book."

When to Take Up Bulbs 
If your planting Is not large, better let the 
Glads remain in the ground until well into 
October in most sections. But if the leaves 
turn somewhat yellow or brown, it indicates 
that the bulbs have matured and are ready to 
lift. 
The plants from small bulbs and bulblets 
may not turn brown by freezing weather, so 
you must just take them up towards the end 
of the season, regardless of how the tops look. 
The bulbs will be OK, especially those from 
bulblets. Bulbs from bulblets may be stopped 
at any stage of their growth. Will cure and 
be good, sound planting stock for the next 
year. May shrink some, but this does not 
impair vitality. 
But dig all bulbs before tops die down. Let¬ 
ting the bulbs remain in ground too long tends 
to bad looking and diseased bulbs.
