INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1940 
GERTRUDE AMANDA (85 to 90 days)—This glad has glamour. 
Its color is orange to orange pink, deep yellow in throat, six 5- to 514- 
inch blooms out on 16- to 18-bud spike, florets heavily ruffled on strong 
straight spike. Named this one for the Mrs. (Large bulbs, $5.00 each; 
M. $3.00; S. $2.00; bulblets, 3 for $1.00.) 
MARY MARKOWITZ (90 to 98 days)—This is a deep orange with 
deep red blotch that we believe is sure of a great future as a commercial 
and show flower—seven to ten 5-inch flowers open on a perfect spike of 
20 buds. ($5.00 each for Large; $3.00 each M.; $2.00 for S.; bulblets, 
3 for $1.00.) 
DR. KEMPTON (85 to 90 days)—A brilliant, glistening dark red 5- 
to 514-inch florets on 20-bud spike. E. A. Lins of Spring Green, Wiscon¬ 
sin, says of it, “Was good; liked its color and performance very well.” 
This is a great bulblet producer and we have a fairly good stock on hand; 
thus the very low price of $1.00 each for L. bulbs, 5 bulbs varied sizes and 
100 bulblets for $5.00. 
One large bulb of each of the 1940 introductions for $10.00 or one M. 
of each for $6.00. 
One L., 1 M., 1 S. and 3 bulblets of each—a $19.75 value—for $15.00 
We feel that we have not been able to do justice to these new introduc¬ 
tions in our descriptions. We are offering any of these collections, that is, 
the $5.00, $6.00, $10.00 or $15.00 collection, with money-back guarantee 
if not entirely satisfied. In which case, you are to return all stock with 
bulblets in the fall. We have never known any originator to make such 
a guarantee on his introductions.
