Introductions of 1937 
SURFSIDE (Winsor) 
Seedling number 32-298C. Surfside is a white with a cream throat 
and very slight penciling deep in the throat; the ruffled florets are of fine 
substance and lay well against the spike. The spikes, which are tall and 
straight, will average about twenty buds with eight blooms open at once. 
It is a very good increaser and we cut many soikes for florists from our 
bulblet stock the past season. It is a seedling of Picardy and the Australian 
variety Burwood Cem. Midseason. While we had many good reports on 
Surfside, the following is noteworthy as the writer grows all the new ones 
each year and therefore has a good opportunity for comparison, he writes:— 
“In my opinion Surfside is by far the best of the new glads that I have seen 
and I wish you much success with it.” 
Frederick W. Cassebeer, New York City.

BULB STORAGE 
From Detroit, Michigan, 3/27/37, a customer writes:—“I want to thank you for your 
very fine catalogue. It is the very best one on the market—bar none. In the first place, 
you are so fair; you give the originator and it is so well described. You spent some money 
on it and should be rewarded in receiving orders for your good work.” 
Another Ohio customer wrote:—“The bulbs you sent us are so beautifully clean, 
smooth and shiny that I cannot help but wish that I knew just what kind of treatment, 
disinfecting, etc. and soil they had. Grand good work. Hope that our bulbs look as well.”
