NEW INTRODUCTIONS 1940 
, Having known and watched the hybridizing of one of America’s oldest Glad 
Growers (Mr. Louis Jaenichen, now over 70) for 10 years or more and wondering 
why he has never introduced any of his seedlings, some of which put to shame many 
of these which have been placed on the market, have been informed that he has 
played with Glads just for his own enjoyment. Year after year his seedlings have 
won ribbons at the local and state shows. This year we have persuaded him to 
allow us to place on the market two of his seedlings, which, we are sure will not only 
please you but be able to hold their heads up wherever Glads are grown. Owing to 
a fair stock of both, prices will be very reasonable. 
DICTATOR (Jaenichen) 1940 
New very deep pink lavender, color by Ridgeway Mallow Purple might be 
classed a new color in Glads. Clean, clear color with large redish purplish tongue 
in throat. Medium tali grower with 5-8 medium sized plain pettled florets, open 
always in perfect placement. A Glad that is hard to forget. Mid-season bloomer. 
FIRE BALL (Jaenichen) 1940 
4 
, Very large spectrum red self, slightly ruffled tall spike with 6-7 wide open 
florets open at a time on a spike carrying 18 buds. A Glad shown for the first 
time this past season and made all other reds look sick. Fine for show as well as a 
good commercial. Always straight. Prolific and a good producer. 
Trial ground reports on both the above this past season place both on a high 
standard.

10 $2.60; Small 25c each, 10 $2.00.
