THE GLAD PATCH 
SPRING 1 9 3 9 Normal, Ill. 
We thank you for a share of your patronage and assure you we will 
send you only high quality stock at moderate prices in spite of our very 
modest price list. 
We have omitted a good many varieties from this list because we deem 
some of them unworthy while our stock of others is low. We may be able 
to supply a few of these but can’t guarantee it. 
We feel that you are so well acquainted with most of these varieties 
that no description is necessary but if you ask for it we will send our last 
catalog with descriptions. 
We feel that a few of the newer ones should claim your attention. Creve 
Couer, a burnt orange with orange red blotch makes a good spike and opens 
up to eight four inch florets. Mary Ansteen, a begonia rose with throat mark¬ 
ings, is about the prettiest pink glad we have seen. The spikes are not tall 
but make strong, sturdy growth and are extra fine. New Era is., attracting a 
lot of attention with its large number of pink blooms open. We have not 
bloomed it, so cannot tell just what it will do in this locality. Prairie Gold, 
the deepest of yellows, has growing habits almost ideal and is worthy a trial. 
Recovery is one you must have, if you like medium red. A tall, strong grower 
with up to eleven florets open. Smiling Maestro, a deep salmon rose, is highly 
recommended by most growers. We have not bloomed it from large bulbs. 
Our prices are low and we do our utmost to keep our quality high. We 
give very liberal count and extras in proportion to the order. We like satis¬ 
fied customers and do our best to please you in every particular. If the stock 
we send you is not satisfactory in every particular, we will count it a favor 
if you will return it to us and receive your money back, or ask for a cor¬ 
rection if a mistake has been made.
