The season’s greetings to my glad friends and customers everywhere. It was in- 
deed a pleasure to meet so many of you at the Mid-West Chicago Show. I look for- 
ward each season also to your visits to my glad garden. Your successes in 'the garden 
and at the various shows mean my success, and I welcome your letters telling me of 
such, as well as any failures which may occur due to defects in the bulbs themselves, 
for after all “To Err is Human,” but I welcome the opportunity to make such failures 
right to your complete satisfaction. 
I believe my list is a fair representation of the finest exhibition and commercial 
varieties of today. Due to wide variation in soil, climate and rainfall, I think specific 
recommendations are becoming less valuable each year. I can only tell how certain 
varieties do in my own garden. Keeping the above well in mind, among my 1941 gar- 
den tavorites, J] should include Myrna, Margaret Beaton, Lady Jane, Surfside, Bingo, 
Glamis, King William, Lavender Ruffles, Oregon State, Jasmine, Purple Beauty, Alad- 
din, Shirley Temple, Rosa Van Lima, Rocket, Wings of Song, Snow Princess, White 
Gold, Emma Joy (Gundlach ’42) and the Krueger seedlings. The Canadian varieties, 
Elizabeth The Queen and Ethel Cave Cole, warrant further trial. 
The Krueger seedlings are still making good. Mr. Walter Miller, leading Wiscon- 
sin grower, has written a superb testimonial for Diane, C. Lass, Badger Beauty and 
Master Myron. In part he says, “One of the best new lavenders is Badger Beauty, 
opening 8 to 10 blooms, perfectly straight spike and a fine keeper. I consider same a 
big stride in improving the lavenders.” Mr. Miles Labrum, Midvale, Utah, wrote me 
as follows: “My three bulbs of Diane produced uniform spikes averaging 54 in. tall, 
30 in. stem length, 16 buds with 7 open and 6 showing color, first floret 7 inches 
across. Diane is the finest orange I have ever grown, far better than four other new 
orange glads growing alongside.” 
They are also winning on the show bench. Diane won division championships at 
3 major 1941 shows, the Chicago Mid-West, Wisconsin and Illinois. Master Myron 
won division championship at Iowa. Cooney Lass won lst in both 1 spike and 2 spike 
class at Boston 1941, as well as Ist in 3 spike class, New York Worlds Fair 1940. 
Criterion, the 1942 ace release, was voted most beautiful spike in show, Wisconsin 
741. This glad has been declared by Mr. J. H. Heberling to be the only glad he thought 
more beautiful than Picardy.
