Pfitzer’s Lovely Pink Glad—“SONATINE” 
Introducer’s description: “Color Atlas-rose, with small cherry-red blotches. The florets are 
exceptionally large, having very broad petalsi, and are strongly attached to the stems which 
grow to a height of 6 feet 6 inches. For cut flowers a wonderful future is predicted for 
Sonatine.” 
To me and many others, “Atlas-rose” means “watermelon-pink.” At least I think of a 
luscious watermelon when I spy a grand spike of Sonatine. 
Sonatine is one of the few Glads that you can cut without bending over—very much. You 
will have a fine long spike without cutting it low. 
The spike is stiff and tough, seldom if ever crooks, ideal for shipping because buds lie 
close to the stem, and there is no excess baggage to the stem or spike. 
Sonatine has been high priced, but this season we can offer it way below former prices 
and within the reaGh of all. 
New Sonatine Prices: (Barge, 2 —12c; 10 —50c) (Medium, 3 —10c; 10 —25c) (Small, 10 
15c). See other pages for prices on larger lots.

killed right now, when you spray.

the following prepaid prices: 1 ounce 35c; 8 
ounces $1.00; 1 pint $1.75; 1 quart $3.00; V 2

“Your Subscription Expires” 
As the magazines announce, “Your subscrip¬ 
tion expires with this number.” 
There is one way to renew your subscrip¬ 
tion to a magazine. Pay up. 
There are two wavs to keep yourself in good 
and regular standing on our mailing list. 
One is to send an order. The other is to drop 
us a line asking for catalogues. 
We do not expeot an order from everyone, 
every year. No mail order house does. And 
we are not stingy with catalogues, so long as 
they last. 
We appreciate names sent us by customers 
and friends. But wish such names “hand 
picked.” Only one, or a few, from any one 
person. Cannot use lone lists. Do not offer 
any pay or premiums for names. Consider 
that you do your friend as big a favor as you 
do us when you have us place a name on our 
list for “Long's Garden Book.” 
More About Douglas Glad 
This is one of the biggest and best of the 
champion Glads of 10 or 15 years ago. How 
well do I remember the massive and stunning 
displays of Douglas at the big flower shows 
in “the good old days.” It was as sensational 
then as Miss New Zealand is now. Even to¬ 
day Douglas gives some of the new creations 
a scare. 
Joe Coleman Passes On 
You who read page 31 in my 1938 Fall cata¬ 
logue will recall that I praised Joe Coleman, 
originator of Minuet, which still is the 
measuring stick for all lavender Glads. 
About a week after I sent Joe a marked 
copy of the catalogue, he and Mrs. Coleman 
were killed in an auto accident. The car 
skidded off a bridge into the river near 
Bradentown, Florida, at which place Joe grew 
and shipped cut Glads to the wholesale mark¬ 
ets. The report I read said their daughter, 
Catherine, will continue the business there.
