Shirley 
Temple 
Grown from 
small bulbs. 
(D. S. Pruitt) 
The greatest sensation in our garden. As it grows for us it excels all the creams and 
whites combined. 1 hesitate to praise it as highly as I feel like doing because it is my own 
creation. 
Though it has only gone out in small lots, we have received many letters of praise in its 
behalf. I had the pleasure of having many prominent growers visit us the past blooming 
season, as follows: Elmer Gove, Carl Salbach, Ralph Baerman, Leonard Long, a prominent 
grower from the flower district of Florida, some from Canada, and a number of other 
prominent growers on the west coast. We will leave part of the praise to them. You are 
invited to ask anyone who saw it growing for me or saw it as it grew for others. 
In color it is a light cream with a rich cream throat, beautifully ruffled. Very heavy 
substance of the best keeping qualities after cutting, blooming out to the last flower. 
Multiplies good and should take the country as a commercial in the very near future. 
Owing to the use of an excessive amount of gas in treating the bulbs of Shirley Temple 
last year, they were damaged. Fully 25 per cent of them failed to germinate. I am glad to 
replace all of such bulbs with the increase you should have, based on the increase I get, 
which is good. These will be replaced no matter from whom you bought them.
