BEAUTIFUL—EASY TO RAISE 
WE grow thousands of Glads each season, testing out a great many of the newer 
and better varieties. In listing the following sixteen varieties, we are selecting 
varieties that make good cut flowers, good commercial varieties, that stand severe 
heat and drouth. Every variety is a superior variety, easy to grow, and makes the 
best of cut flowers. A bouquet properly handled will last two weeks in the house. 
There isn’t any reason why you shouldn’t have a bouquet of Glads from early July 
until freezing. Also easily cared for over winter. Plant about 5 inches deep, 6 inches 
apart in the row with the rows 18 to 20 inches apart. The bulbs we are offering 
vary from No. 1’s to No. 3’s. We do not put in any smaller bulbs. All of these will 
produce wonderful blooms for you.
