I aim to send out healthy stock free from thrips and other pests. Stock has been

with them.

give second choice if you have any. I usually refund if I am out of a variety unless I

MITSCH INTRODUCTIONS 
Last year I did not introduce any new varieties and this year I am offering but one. 
While several more are coming on, it was felt that another year’s trial should be given 
the others before introduction. Some of them have bloomed for five years or more and 
look good enough to introduce but I prefer to watch them one more season. The one I am 
offering is entirely distinct from any other Glad on the market as far as I know,—a deep 
blue violet with white blotch. The ruffled pink and white seedling sent out last year gave 
me some beautiful spikes and was well liked by florists, but because of its weak stems, I 
think it shall not be introduced. I may send out seedling bulbs for trial again this year 
with orders over $5.00, if requested. 
BLUET (1939). My only introduction of this year and the first “blue” that I have 
offered. I have grown thousands of “blue” seedlings over a period of several years but 
for the most part they have been disappointing. Some of them look very good for two or 
three years and then develop the faults characteristic of this color. Bluet may not prove 
an exception although it has bloomed longer than this and seemed as good or better last 
summer than before. The chief reason for my offering it is that it is entirely distinct 
from other “blues” that I have grown. Some may not care for a “blue” with a white throat 
but I like it very much and find that other visitors to the garden seem to like it. Among 
the seedlings have appeared quite a number of similar type and color but most of them 
have developed faults such as bad facing, short spikes, or weak growth after blooming 
two or three times. Bluet has flowers of medium size, about five to seven open at once, 
good facing, and good quite long spikes. Color is quite deep blue violet with white 
blotches in contrast to the red, purple, or violet blotches or marking of other “blues”. It 
makes lots of bulblets but it seems that I failed to plant bulblets one year so that I have 
but a limited supply of stock. There should be plenty of bulblets to go around but I can 
supply but few bulbs this year. Price of bulbs $2.50 each while supply lasts. Large selected 
bulblets, 50c each, $4.00 per 10. 
AACHEN (1937). One of the most beautiful of cream Glads and possibly the most 
beautiful of any I have seen when at its best, but unfortunately, the stems are usually 
stubby. Sometimes makes very long tall spikes from large bulbs well grown, but not as 
dependable as we should like. Opens seven or eight large lustrous rich cream blooms. 
Large, $1.20 each, 10 for $9.60; M. 50c each, 10 for $4.80; S. 30c each, 10 for $2.40; Bits. 
10c each, 10 for 80c. 
ARIADNE (Mitsch-Baerman). In contrast to the above variety, Ariadne is one of the 
most consistent performers I have raised. It is creamy white with large red blotches 
and shadings of red on the upper petals appearing as reflections from the blotches. Not 
as refined in coloring as a few others of its type but certainly one of the most showy
