SHIRLEY TEMPLE 
As it performed again for 
us the past summer. A won¬ 
derful sight worth seeing. 
The above pictures were 
taken about two weeks apart. 
Showing the fine straight 
spike before opening and the 
other showing them in bloom. 
Most of these bulbs were only 
fives and down in size. It was 
the first time we had had 
more than two rows of stock. 
Giving us an opportunity to 
see it in a mass. They were 
planted on grain ground and 
not fertilized with anything. 
The many knocks Shirley 
Temple has had is why we 
are showing these pictures in 
our catalogue this year. 
The variety will not bloom 
like these if planted in hot 
climates to bloom in the hot 
weather. But if planted to 
bloom late it will repay any 
one for the cost and effort to 
grow it. 
I have used it for a seed 
parent and find it even bet¬ 
ter than Picardy. But feiv of 
the seedlings show any sign 
of stem weakness. I will 
probably release one or more 
of them next year. The lovelv 
ruffled Glad I am using in 
the catalogue on page 10 is a 
seedling from Shirley Temple 
and Wasaga. Easily the most 
beautiful Glad in coloring 
and rnffledness we have yet 
*/ 
seen. 
See field pictures on pages 
2 and 3.
