Cinderella 
\ \ 7E purchased the entire stock of this unusually attractive, small decorative Glad- 
iolus from the originator, Mr. E. H. Lins. I have never seen a more beautiful 
Glad in this class than Cinderella. Its fresh, warm but delicate colors are com- 
bined in just the right way to give it distinction. As a seedling it received an Award 
of Merit at the Minnesota Show. 
DESCRIPTION 
® Color is most pleasing combination of soft apple 
blossom pink blending to a rich golden cream. 
@ The attractive ruffled florets combined with its 
wax-like texture add a great deal to its charm. 
e 4 to 5 florets.on a 14 to 15 bud spike, which is 
ample on a Glad of this type. 
@ In fact I am sincere in saying that Cinderella is 
the most beautiful small Glad that I have ever seen. 
The entire stock of Cinderella is still very limited 
and no doubt we should not have introduced it this 
season, especially in view of the low price on so fine 
a flower. We have had so many requests for it and 
so decided to offer it at this time, putting a limit on 
the amount sold. Only large bulbs will be sold 
individually—other sizes being sold in sets. We also 
reserve the right to withdraw the sale at any time. 
Large bulbs—$2.00 each. 
$5.00 Set—1 large, 2 medium and 3 small. 
Sale limited to 25 sets. 

$10.00 Set—2 large, 2 medium, 6 small and 15 bulblets i ' 
Sale limited to 10 sets. CINDERELLA 
We are offering 5 other varieties of Mr. Lins originations in our general list, namely, 
Mercury, Rio Rita, Mellowglow, Stoplight and Belmar. The latter three are 1942 intro- 
ductions. While I have not grown these varieties, | have had the opportunity to see them 
all and without going into lengthy details I can say with confidence that each has a right- 
ful place in the Glad world. Only the test of time is the real test of any variety but these 
are all backed by prominent awards received in various shows throughout the country, 
which proves they must be worth while. I am sure you will like them and the prices are 
very reasonable due to sufficient stocks at the time of introduction. You make no mistake 
to at least give them a try. 
Croix Farms Originations 
To date, I have mentioned nothing in our catalogue of my work in breeding Gladiolus, as 
| preferred to withhold this information until such time that I would have something to 
offer that was a real credit to the Glad Fraternity. I have had many inquiries as to varieties 
of my own origination. So in answer to these requests, I can only say that barring unfore- 
seen circumstances I will have some seedlings to introduce next season that have been under 
test for several years and | can assure you that they will be worthy contributions.
