FOREWORD 
Perhaps some will be disappointed this year in the more brief descriptions given to 
the Glads than have formerly been used, but we have felt that the Savings to us in the use 
of less catalogue space could be passed on to you-in the form of more discounts than are 
usually given in our spring catalogue. For more complete descriptions of varieties, kindly 
refer to last year’s catalogue. If you do not have a copy, one will be gladly mailed on re- 
quest. Please do not order from last year’s catalogue however, as some of the varieties 
listed then are not available now and in many cases, prices are lower this year. 
As you will notice, we are listing our Daffodils along with the Glads this year and are 
giving them more space than the Glads for the reason that we do not have a complete 
descriptive list of these available in previous catalogues. Orders for Daffodils may be 
sent along with your Glad orders or they may be sent any time until September 1st. To 
help us avoid errors, kindly order Daffodils on a separate sheet from that used for Glads.

Palblist: 
VARIETY COMMENTS 
This past year there were fewer new varieties added to our list than commonly and 
to limit remarks to these would mean but a description of very few varieties. This being 
the case, we shall give our impressions here of a few of the newer varieties and of some 
not altogether new. 
Taking up our list alphabetically we find that Allegro is still about the best medium 
“blue.” While Alchemy in common with some other yellows does not hold its size after 
being cut and is very subject to crooking in hot weather, it is the most beautiful yellow I 
have seen. Of the bright reds, Algonquin is near the top of the list. I think Amulet is about 
as fine in the buff class as any. Avalon should be good both as a commercial and exhibi- 
tion variety and Barcarole remains the most beautiful orange but is rather temperamental. 
Some do not like blues to have white throats but Bluet is a favorite here. In light rose 
salmon, Capeheart just about stands supreme. C. W. Gannett exhibited some smoky tints 
in its salmon ground this year. It makes huge spikes. In deep rose shades, Chamouny is 
a leader. 
Colonial Maid does not have big florets but gives consistently of its tall straight strong 
spikes. Colossus and Conquest are two varieties that remain among the favorites for cut 
flowers. Coral Glow is perhaps the most outstanding in its color class. In light rose purple 
Cordelia stands out. Diane is a fine late blooming tall orange salmon. For very tall spikes 
and large flowers, Don Bradman is very impressive. Much has been said about Ethel Cave 
Cole and one season’s experience indicates that it should be a fine commercial and exhibi- 
tion Glad. When a new lavender is introduced, we are usually skeptical but Elizabeth the 
Queen in one year’s trial looked outstanding. Flora Farmer and Glamis are two fine pinks 
with lighter throat, entirely distinct from each other. Greta Garbo is one of the finest 
imported things that I have grown in several years. 
Happy Days appears a competitor of Barcarole for beauty and while they are alto- 
gether different, the former seems to have better growing habits and it should become a 
leading commercial. In deep reds Hindenburg’s Memory looks about as good as anything 
we have and has been taller this past year than before. Those liking Glads with many 
open blooms should grow Intrepid. Perhaps the Glad most resembling an orchid is Joseph 
Haydn. We wish we could persuade it to refrain from sprouting in storage. King Cardinal 
is a very tall large bright red. In the purples King Lear seems the best variety we have.
