timely information. On top of that you have the privilege of exhibiting your blooms at 
our annual exhibition, which is considered one of the largest and best in the entire country. 
Also fast becoming famous, are our weekly seedling and regional shows. It is through 
these weekly shows, which are held during the blooming season in various parts of the 
State, that several leading varieties become known. Also exhibited are several new var- 
ieties that would ordinarily miss the annual show. Beside the fellowship and the many new 
friends you meet make the events all very worthwhile. All this for one dollar. Mail me 
your dues and get some valuable bulbs free. 
THE NEW ENGLAND GLADIOLUS SOCIETY: Now conceded the leading 
Society of its kind. Too well known for elaboration here. Same offer on free bulbs holds 
good here, too. The Year Book is now being mailed, and if you have never had a copy 
of this valuable book, you don’t know what you have missed. The regular membership is 
only one dollar and you get the book. The two dollar membership is well worth the small 
price, for in addition to the Year Book, you get quarterly supplements which will keep you 
up-to-date throughout the year. We strongly urge your membership in both these two 
societies, if you are really interested in glads. 
RECENT INTRODUCTIONS ... 
This list is intended to cover varieties of recent introduction which we now grow and 
find them all to have considerable merit. 
AMERICAN COMMANDER: Our own introduction. Tall, vigorous grower. Color 
is a clear lustrous solid blood red. This has been on the market but a few years, and dur- 
ing this time we have received reports of such uniformly good performance, that we are 
sure now that it is certain to be a leading red for commercial use. And for the home 
garden it has been found to be outstanding, and this is true, for it really stands out and 
above the others in this particular color class, to say nothing of the others. Visitors look- 
ing over our field each season always remark about the wonderful uniformity the rows of 
AMERICAN COMMANDER display. If you are looking for a real red to take the 
place of some of the less-stronger growers you have been trying, be sure to get a stock of 
this headliner. Our experience here in our own flower shop, along with the enormous 
wholesale demand indicates what we have previously said and claimed; namely that AMER- 
ICAN COMMANDER now is the red. 
Propagation qualities of this glad are good. Bulblets are moderate in size and all 
sizes of bulbs yield a good amount. Bulblets often bloom, in fact you may expect all sizes 
of bulbs to produce good long spikes. The florets are large and we usually find six, seven 
and sometime as high as nine florets open in good condition at once. The flower head is 
of good length and placement and facing is uniformly good. The texture is very good. 
Spikes may be cut tight for shipping and will open well in water. AMERICAN COM- 
MANDER is known to be a good keeper. Here you have a red that is well balanced as 
to spike, form and performance. We have a good stock of this variety now and it would 
be good business to invest what you can in blooming sizes, planting sizes or bulblets.
