NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
Etta BELL, one of our most outstanding seedlings, will be introduced in 1940. 
Is being tried out this year by several noted growers in different sections of the 
country. Etta Bell is a beautiful Golden Buff overlaid with soft pink slightly ruffled, 
7 to 8 5-inch florets open at one time. Always comes with straight spikes. Good 
length, good facing and placement; an improvement over Duna and Wasaga. This Glad 
was named after Etta Bell Ford, a charming little blue-eyed blonde with rosy cheeks, 
and naturally she is very proud of her namesake. We have several other very promising 
seedlings that will be offered as soon as we can get our stocks increased sufficiently. 
We positively will not introduce any new ones that do not come up to our standard 
of performance. 
This year we are offering several new Smokies and a few others from other grow¬ 
ers. You will find any of these new ones satisfactory as we have tested them out in our 
trial patch. Several others we have a small stock, hardly enough to warrant listing 
in this year’s catalog. But if you are anxious to try any of them, we will be glad to 
spare a few at current prices. These will be in our regular list next year. These con¬ 
sist of the following: Beowulf, Black Opal, Blau Schonheit, Blue Delight, Bit-O-Heaven, 
Camellia, Chasseur, Chief Multnomah, Eloise, Gertrude Swenson, Gladys Clegg, Gov. 
Pinchot, Irak, Isola Bella, Johan Bach, Johan Strauss, Lucifer, Maunga, Max Reger, 
New Era, Ninth Symphony, Pearl of Stuttgardia, Philis McQuiston, Pimpernel, Redwood 
Beauty, Robt. Burns, Rima, Royal Omar, Sunset Cloud, Sweetheart, Superwhite and Zuni.
