CROSSROAD GARDENS 
QUALITY UNSURPASSED 
Please understand that the varieties mentioned below are not the only 
good ones to grow. These are some of the varieties that impressed us as 
being extra fine: 
AMRITA, one of the most beautiful varieties grown, and until you 
have seen it, you cannot imagine how beautiful a Glad can be. ALADDIN, 
a very large, showy variety. Many of the Coast growers consider it the most 
sensational introduction since Picardy. BARCAROLE, a sister seedling of 
Amrita, is so beautiful and unusual that every real Glad lover should have 
it. BEACON, another one of Palmer’s masterpieces. Last year we said we 
believed Beacon was destined for tremendous popularity; after last sum¬ 
mer’s performance, we say it even more strongly. BIT O’ HEAVEN, one of 
the finest exhibition Glads of its color class, grows tremendously tall and 
straight. CAMELLIA is lovely and unusual. It attracted a great deal of 
attention in our garden last summer, as did CARILLON, a new pink that 
in addition to being dependable, has the qualities that will make it a fine 
commercial. BLUE ADMIRAL, a deep violet blue that grows tall and 
straight. We like it better than Pelegrina, because among other things 
it has a longer flower head. Pfitzer’s giant white STAR OF BETHLEHEM 
is a must-have for the lovers of white Glads. REWI FALLU is one of the 
largest Glads in existence, and those who like the big fellows certainly 
should have this immense blood red. SMILING MAESTRO, a very showy, 
immense salmon rose. It attracted a lot of attention here last summer. 
VAGABOND PRINCE is, in our opinion, one of the most distinctive and 
unusual Glads in existence. NEW ERA, that exqusite ruffled pink you have 
heard so much about, is certainly deserving of all its praise. JASMINE was 
introduced last year, and its pale yellow color and moderate ruffling combine 
with excellent form to make it one of the most exquisitely beautiful Glads 
we have ever seen. KING LEAR, a very early and much needed addition to 
the purple class. Its heavily ruffled and immense clear purple florets put 
this sensational new Glad in a class by itself. PEGGY LOU, one of the 
greatest exhibition winners ever introduced. Many people consider it has 
a better future than Picardy. SHIRLEY TEMPLE, that immense, heavily 
ruffled cream that you have heard so much about. Some people find it 
temperamental, but it grows beautifully here, and it is a worth-while addi¬ 
tion to any real Glad garden. MARGARET BEATON, a new snowy white 
with a small scarlet blotch in the throat that is destined to become one of 
the greatest Glads in commerce. It is truly beautiful and must be seen to 
be fully appreciated. 
Don’t overlook the following varieties for early cut flowers. They are 
i all good, especially TOKEN, which we consider the best early commercial 
on the market. For a good early white, try WHITE ORCHID. Other good 
early varieties are MR. WM. CUTHBERTSON, EARLY DAWN, BRIGHT- 
SIDE, MIBLOOM, EXCELLENCE, MISS BLOOMINGTON and PELE¬ 
GRINA. 
For the later bloomers, be sure and have MINUET and PICARDY, two 
of the most widelv grown Glads in the world today. Also, BETTY NUT- 
HALL, BETSY BOB-UP, MRS. T. E. LANGFORD, COMMANDER KOEHL 
and BAGDAD. 
! If you have never tried any of the Primulinus varieties, get a new thrill 
this year and grow some of the lovely decoratives. Ideally suited for house 
and table decoration, you will like their soft shades and graceful propor¬ 
tions. Read the descriptions of LADY DAINTY, EVELYN SOULE, BUT- 
TERBOY, BETTY CO-ED, AFTERGLOW and SWEETHEART.
