FOREWORD 
This season it is again my privilege to be associated with Mr. Walter Krueger in 
the dissemination of his outstanding seedlings. Mr. Krueger’s first release, MASTER 
MYRON, a commercial rich self red, was sold outright to Mr. J. H. Heberling and is 
offered solely by him this season. His second introduction, DIANE, was purchased out¬ 
right by Mr. Elmer Gove and was offered jointly by Mr. Gove and myself last season. 
This season Mr. Krueger is offering his two new’ introductions, COONEY LASS and GEM. 
Stock of these two glads may be obtained either directly from Mr. Krueger or myself. 
Descriptions and prices are as follows. 
COONEY LASS

reminiscent of Maxwelton, though a lighter shade of rose pink. Health and propagation, 
good. Extreme reliability in the production of excellent spikes. Season, 80 days. Num¬ 
ber of buds, 16, with 6 open. Floret size, 5 inches. Winnings: First, 3-spike seedling

DIANE 
DIANE bloomed for the first time last season in my own garden, and once again 
I have no hesitancy in stating that I consider this orange colored glad one of the finest 
to be introduced since Picardy. I believe fans and commercial growers alike will make 
no mistake in stocking this variety heavily this season. It propagates like both of its 
famous parents, Betty Nuthall and Picardy. New 1940 prices are as follows: 
LARGE $3.00, TEN FOR $24.00 — MEDIUM $2.00, TEN FOR $16.00 
SMALL $1.25, TEN FOR $10.00 — BULBLETS 25c, TEN FOR $2.00
