PREVIEW OF OUR I94I INTRODUCTIONS 
For prices and further description consult general variety list. 
BIG TOP (Rich). A giant plant and spike. Produced the three largest spikes in our fields 
last year. And don’t think it had no competition! Introductory price is not an error. Yes, its 
too low. Mr. Rich won 47 Awards of Mention, Commendation and Merit in 1941, a promis- 
ing record. 
‘BOBBY DAZZLER (Both). You know it is orange when you see it. No need to be told. 
Also that it is a beautifully ruffled giant. Color not as vivid as Dazzler but softer and still 
more beautiful Only the slightest trace of fading under very bad conditions, so this one has 
excellent commercial possibilities. 
FASCINATION (Both). We got this variety as far as this stage last year then failed to 
list it for sale as our stocks seemed insufficient. A deep orange pink ruffled beauty with plenty 
buds and plenty open. See picture on back cover. 
HURRICANE (Evans). Ask any Mich. grower what he thinks of the color. Or Prof. E. 
M. C. Shafer of Sacramento, Calif. who writes: ‘Hurricane seems destined to go places in its 
color class. 9 opened in the field. Stood out like a lighthouse in the garden. Color is quite 
subtle, being bright from a distance and soft close by. Its brightness of orange is heightened 
by artificial light, which is a good decorative quality. Now every bulblet is going to bloom 
and most are holding about 5 good sized bloom open in the field. I wouldn’t part with one of 
them for a mint of money. If it doesn’t sell there is something wrong with the public.” 
PASTEL (Both). The smoothest soft, velvety smoky. Large round, smooth petals, too. 
Its the perfect pastel blend smoke. 
PERKY (Hubler). Small glads have to be good to get notice from us. This joins the ranks 
of Pinocchio and Sub Deb but this is still smaller. However, Mr. Hubler, who was supervisor of 
judges of the Amer. Glad Soc. for years and has been hybridizing for many years finally puts 
an OK on one of his own. The Ohio society is jealous of its reputation in handing out Awards 
of Merit. It got, I think, about the 4th in 14 years. 
PURPLE SUPREME (Wilson-Evans). We feel this is both bigger and better than 
Wilson’s good Purple Classic. Not only does it have the good color value of Purple Classic but 
it also has the color harmony produced by a definite lighter halo margin around the petals. 
SPITFIRE (Evans). We believe no apologies will ever have to be made for this one. We 
are still looking for its slightest fault. Propagation refuses to run wild, as is the case with 
Hurricane, but we couldn’t be too sure that can be termed a fault. Plenty of prizewinning 
background. It got one of those rare Ohio Awards of Merit several yearsago. Clear, irridescent, 
rosy toned salmon with white throat. See picture on front cover. 
Note. We planned to participate in the introduction of Pruitt’s beautiful Jeanie. But, 
last season, Mr. Pruitt did not decide to introduce it until too late for us to include it. We do 
now and what a rare beauty it is. Better still, its cheap enough for all to buy it now. 
PREVIEW OF OUR I94!I IMPORT RELEASES 
ACCA LAURENTIA (Holland). Color and excellent cut flower habits. Smooth petalled, 
primulinus grandiflorus type. Slightly hooded. Bright orange, throat deeper, Supply small 
and further import impossible but its a good propagator. 
GLOBE TROTTER (Pfitzer). No telling when we will ever get a peek at any more new 
Pfitzer varieties. Of the 6 Pfitzer varieties offered by K & M in the fall of 1939, this one 
proved to be by far the most outstanding. Impressive spikes with 10 or more open. Light 
vermilion shading to rose pink with creamy white blotch. 
OBERBAYERN (Pfitzer). Next to Globe Trotter, the largest, we liked Oberbayern, the 
smallest. Med. Dec. size, about 314 to 4 inch diameter. Color is extremely striking—dark 
aniline blue with so much clean cream within that the blue is not much more than a border. 
Wide open florets help emphasize the contrast. Height, wiry stem, number open all seen in 
proper proportion. 
ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY CONCERNING THE WORLD FAMOUS 
TUNIA EXHIBITION STRAIN 
We are pleased to advise our customers that we have entered into an exclusive arrangement 
with E.Both, world famous hybridizer of Adelaide, South Australia, whereby we are permitted 
to purchase stocks of his seedlings intended for introduction, a year before public release. 
We thus have stocks, grown here two years, fully acclimated and under U. S. release a year 
before normally possible. Importers, growers and catalogers will readily see the several ad- 
vantages of such opportunity of purchase. 
Mr. Both’s varieties of recent years have proved sensational, particularly Tunia’s Triumph, 
Crystal, Harmau and St. Edward. Some new ones we are growing will prove even more sen- 
sational. Take another peek at that picture on the back cover. 
ANNOUNCEMENT CONCERNING VARIETY ‘COUTTS’ ORCHID” 
By arrangement with Mr. Coutts we are the sole Importer and Distributor to U. S. pur- 
chasers of stocks of his sensational new variety, ‘‘Coutts’ Orchid.”
