The new ones , VAGABOND PRINCE and BEACON were,the most beautiful 
glads I have ever raised. I exhibited them in our floral show. They went over big and I 
received first prize on them. 1 hope to be able to order quite a lot of these in the coming 
year.” — S. F. Peterson, Ill.

wonderful .” —A. J. Schmaler, Mich. 
“/ saw a spike of BEACON for the first time last summer and can well under¬ 
stand the success it had last summer at the Iowa show. I admired it greatly .” 
—W. H. Wheeler, Calif. 
“The BEACON and the Vagabond Prince bulbs which you sent as extras 
made beautiful bloom and every one who saw them thought they were wonderful. I 
think BEACON is the most beautiful flower I have ever seen and Vagabond Prince 
is in a class by itself, one must see it to appreciate it.” 
—Steven L. Stolba, Iowa. 
“BEACON is creating a sensation—just makes them gasp.” 
—J. G. Thomas, Louisiana. 
“Just a line to say the spike of bloom from BEACON bulb you sent me was fust

“77?e object of this letter is to tell you how I appreciated the glad Aladdin. It 
truly is a wonder glad and I too predict that if any glad will ever displace Picardy's 
popularity Aladdin will. It has all the attributes of a champion, size, color, beauty 
and performance. I agree that Amrita, Amulet, Barcarole and Jasmine are first rate 
glads and worthy of much praise, as you state in your fall circular. But why did you 
omit CAMELLIA? It wasn't until I saw Aladdin and CAMELLIA in your garden 
that I realized that my 3500 mile trip was paid for. This was thoroughly substantiated 
in my observation of these two at the Canadian Show two days later.”

spring have been very satisfactory. They drew more attention to my flower garden than 
anything else I had. They paid for themselves in that way alone.”
