BACK AT THE OLD STAND 
While we are retaining our growino- fields at Or- 
land, Calif., we are conducting business for this 
season at our Hayward address which is close to the 
Hospital where Mr. Kingsley is slowly recovering 
from severe injuries incurred last May in an-auto¬ 
mobile accident. 
And right here Ave Avish to thank our customers 
and friends for their numerous letters of sympathy. 
It is very gratifying also to find that some of our 
competitors are proving to be our best friends in our 
time of need.

Our 1939 Introduction 
TAMERLANE. We believe this striking novelty has the 
richest coloring of all “brown” glads. Garnet brown in color, 
deepening at edge of petals, practically a self, having only 
slight stipplings of red and yelloAV in the throat. Very 
heavy substance and velvety texture. Eight large wide- 
open flowers on tall stems which carry eighteen to twenty- 
two buds, most of them showing color at the same time. 
Vigorous grower, good producer of large bulblets that not 
only germinate well, but often bloom the first season. 
TAMERLANE’S rich beauty is a worthy addition to the 
list of unusual glads. It has been greatly admired in our 
gardens the past three seasons and is undoubtedly bound 
for great popularity. No small bulbs or bulblets this season. 
Large bulbs: $5.00 each. 
Especially Recommended 
In yellow there is nothing quite as good as Golden Goddess 
at the new low price. Chief Multnomah and Vagabond Prince 
have worthy competitors in our new Tamerlane, New Era, a 
slightly paler Georgette witli the same beautiful frilling. In 
reds: Commander Koehl, tall medium dark; Amador, brilliant 
and dependable; Tennyson, rich and dark, and the newer Ninth 
Syni])hony and Makenu. In orange. La Fiesta is unique in 
coloring, while Londonderry in a, deeper, slightly smoky tone, 
is about the largest orange Glad on the market. Vista Bonita, 
Peggy Lou, Rima, Robert Burns, Zuni and Shirley Temple lead 
in their respective classes. Among the “Giants”, Grand Opera 
stands out with its delightful coloring; and for a Glad differ¬ 
ent from anything else, there is artistic Pajarito.
