“Received your bulbs this morning and was I surprised at what I got. Your bulbs 
were the finest 7 ever received. It was my first order but it wont be my last. Thank you 
very much for the over count and extras .” — -Harry Geller, N. J. 
TllC Palmer strain. See page 24. 
Timhuctmi ★★★★ (Zimmer) (Ex) (Com) Early midseason. 
* ** ** w w Beautiful deep rose red sometimes flaked darker. 
Opens 6-9 with 6 or more additional buds showing color on a nice long spike. 
Better than medium height. Though this is not a so-called commercial color it 
does make up beautifully in floral sprays. We used what blooms we had of it this 
past season in our shop and they were very well liked. It is a fine forcer in the 
greenhouse and an all around first class four star variety. Florists and growers 
as well as the amateurs should stock heavy with Timbuctoo. Fine propagator. 
A great seed producer. See picture page 8. 
“7 thought you might be interested to know how the prize bulb TIMBUCTOO 
performed for me. 
“From the large bulb you gave me grew two stalks each producing a spike of seven¬ 
teen buds with eight open and several others showing color. I like the way it grows. 
The blooms are so close together that it makes a compact mass eight inches across of 
the most beautiful shade of red I have ever seen in any variety .”

(Crow-Pappas) (Com) (HG) (70) Peach red or flame 
* *P*^^*» salmon with clear yellow throat. A fine commercial color. 
Heavy texture. Medium large size. Fine grower. Heavy propagator. A first class 
commercial variety. 
“TOKEN was a marvelous glad—as well as being one of the earliest .” 
—J. H. Odell, Mass. 
“TOKEN is a fine one. All you say, plus number .” —R. B. Vail, Ala. 
“TOKEN and Beacon have both bloomed and are certainly varieties that are 
beautiful and outstanding .” —R. W. West, Mass. 
“7 picked out ten different varieties and showed them to our florist here and the 
first one he picked was TOKEN.” — Harry Ruble, Minn. 
“This spring I bought from you 5 bulbs of your new introduction TOKEN. 
At the time I thought your description might be somewhat rosy tinted with an in¬ 
troducers natural enthusiasm. Now that it has bloomed for me I realize that your 
description was really outright conservative. This is the finest new thing I have seen 
in years. It is perfect. It has everything, earliness, vigor, size , color, height, length 
of flower head, ruffling perfect and very beautiful, the substance and petal texture as 
heavy and firm as any glad in my garden. I have about 20,000 bulbs of all sizes in 
over 150 of the foremost varieties and have discarded about 30 of the so-called leaders 
as not being up to standard of what I think a glad should be. This TOKEN looks 
to me like the answer to a glad growers prayer .” —W. E. Gardner, Michigan. 
“We cut a few spikes this past week for the first of TOKEN and it sure looks 
good to me. The spikes have 16 and 17 buds each and seem to open up fine after being 
cut. Looks like they will all open. They look like they should be a good shipper as 
the petals seem to have plenty of thickness and feel rather tough.” 
—F. L. Bennett, N. Y. 
Tunis’s Blue ★★★ ( Both ) (Com) (IIG) Very large dark blue. 
* ******* J ******** Very strong growing plant. Good propagator. 
One of the best of the blues. 
Tutlia’e Triumnh ★★★ (Both) (Ex) (Com) (85-90) Light 
M ******* a * 1 *** Mi P M orange scarlet of large size. 7-9 open. 
Has won many awards in Australia where it originated and is considered very fine 
by a number of the growers in this country. With me the stem is rather weak but 
this may not be a characteristic of it in other places. 
Uncas 
★ ★★ (Webster) (Ex) (HG) Dark coppery orange with reddish 
feather tipped yellow. 8 large well placed somewhat ruffled 
blooms open. 17-20 buds on a very tall strong growing plant. Unlike most orange
