FOREWORD 
The seasons greetings to my glad friends and customers everywhere. This season 
we were blessed with an abundance of moisture and cool weather, with the result that 
I have harvested the finest crop of bulbs that I have ever had. If you are looking for 
colored glad pictures, you won’t find them in this list. But if you want peppy, vigorous 
bulbs, grown without fertilization and without forcing for exhibition, then I assure you 
that I am in a position to supply you with such, and also to give you the greatest value 
your money will purchase anywhere. Naturally I do not list everything, but I do 
pelieve my list is a fair representation of the finest varieties of recent introduction. 
Limited space prevents my commenting on many, but among the most outstanding this 
season I may mention MARGARET BEATON, SURFSIDE, CORAL GLOW, NEW ERA, 
WINGS OF SONG, REWI FALLU, MYRNA, LADY ASTOR, GRETA GARBO, PURPLE 
BEAUTY, ROSA VAN LIMA and the Krueger releases. 
The Krueger seedlings are coming along strong. Mr. W. L. Pearson, originator 
of Shenandoah, Lady Astor and others, writes as follows: “DIANE is lovely, and I give 
it my hearty approval. I believe if I had had spikes of it at Hagerstawn I could easily 
have won first with them, and as you know, I had only small bulbs of it.” Elmer Gove, 
who owns the largest stock of DIANE, writes: “DIANE was very fine this season. I 
had spikes as tall as my head, and Palmer had some even taller.” 
Mr. W. M. Anderson, Millbrook, N. Y., won first at the New York World’s Fair 
Glad Show on three spikes of COONEY LASS, and he had only five bulbs last spring 
to plant. Mr. J. T. Robertson, Sunnyside, Wash., writes me as follows: “I had my big 
thrill of the season this morning when COONEY LASS bloomed.” Those who saw Mr. 
Krueger’s exhibit of MASTER MYRON at the Wisconsin Glad Show this season realize 
that the long looked-for commercial red has at last arrived. GEM must be grown in 
quantity to be appreciated, but it is a florist’s glad par excellence and a favorite of 
color-conscious fans. THE DUKE is strictly an exhibition red.
