jlrer varieties just by sheer a bil-

to work wonders on some of the new 
and taller creations, and to be a

joys that come to the glad grower. 
Just to show the kind of spirit 
that exhists among glad fans,I re- 
cel a case at, the National show at 
Pittsburg .A first prize had been 
placed on a spike of Red Phipps 
belonging to a boy of about 11 vrs. 
It was found, that this was in error 
and so the ribbon was placed on 
an o th e r spi k° of R ed Phipps .The b o y 
watched this procedure and then ex¬ 
claimed , "Thats all right I will
