1942 Fall Glad Prices 
We do not say that Glad prices in this folder are 
lower than we may list the same varieties next spring. 
But unless all signs fail, Glad bulbs will have to 
bring more money than formerly, or commercial grow- 
ers will have to quit. You will learn more about this 
from other growers and dealers. 
Account labor shortage most of us large growers cut 
down our plantings last spring. And now that the 
labor situation has become so much more serious, the 
chances are that many bulbs will never be dug, but 
will be left in fields to freeze. 
Stocks scarce. 

So it is not a matter of price so much as whether 
the supply will equal the demand. I may be wrong, 
and hope I am. But in the language of a favorite 
radio commentator, “And that’s the top of the news 
as it looks from here, ladies and gentlemen.” 
A sane suggestion is that you buy PART of your 
Glads this fall anyway. There is no ceiling on Glad 
prices, nor any floor under them. We are all guessing. 
In these times, a situation can change over night. 
We really don’t care for many Glad orders this fall 
ourselves, believe it or not. 
Our FALL Glad orders will be filled with our usual 
liberal overcount on all items that we have in good 
supply, as before. Do not know now whether we can 
continue this through the winter and spring season 
or not. 
NOTICE: Orders we receive this fall will be 
booked subject to crop. All we can guarantee is 
your “‘priority right”, We hope to fill orders com- 
plete, but at this writing, (September) can not tell 
how the crop will turn out nor whether we can get 
help enough to save it all. 
.No orders booked without at least 25% payment 
with order. 
Only the kinds, sizes and quantities listed in this 
folder are offered this fall. Please do not write asking 
if we will haye this or that later. What we will have 
in addition, if any, will be listed in our 1943 SPRING 
catalogue, ready for you last of January.

A FEW IRIS POINTERS 
If plant Iris late in fall, then cover plants with 
brush, cornstalks, tomato vines, excelsior, or any 
coarse material until early spring. This is to prevent 
alternate freezing and thawing in winter. 
I usually protect my late Iris plantings simply by 
throwing a ridge of soil over the rows with a small 
hand plow, shovel or hoe, covering everything, In 
this case I cut the tops back nearly to the rhizomes, 
planting more like bulbs than plants. Very important 
to pack soil firmly about the roots and see that they 
enter the winter in the soil not dried out, though 
much moisture not needed or desirable. Level the 
soil early in spring.

JD Sez, Sez ’e— 
Today (July 13, 1942) my son, Everett C. Long, 
joins Uncle Sam’s Enlisted Reserve Corps of the Army 
Air Force. 
First eight weeks of study and flying will be here 
at Boulder. Classes at University of Colorado. Flying 
at local Airport a few miles east of town. 
Anticipating this enlistment, Everett has been taking 
private flying lessons at his own expense the past few 
months, even buying a plane in order to speed up 
hours in the air. 
As many of you know, Everett has been associated 
with me in our garden and mail order work since 
graduating from University of Colorado in 1934. 
I had dreams of his taking over more and more of 
my work, so that I could slow down and serve largely 
in an advisory capacity, and put in shorter hours. 
I’ve put in 42 years hard labor here in Boulder, and 
am no longer a glutton for work. 
_ Now, instead, it is I who am taking over an extra 
job. Not complaining, you understand. This is my 
contribution towards helping win the war. 
Everett might have been deferred for some time, 
but he didn’t wait for Uncle to say, “Come hither.” 
He volunteered, with approval and blessing of Mrs. 
Long, myself and his wife, Anne. 
It is my thought that by telling you, our customers 
and friends, the situation, you will understand why 
we may not always give our usual sudden service, nor 
answer inquiries in detail, if at all. 
Some of our best employees have also gone into 
the service, which adds still more to the work and 
worry of us who are left to carry on. 
Our plan is not to ask for more business than our 
smaller experienced crew can take care of satisfactorily. 
- S. Since the above was written, Everett has 
passed all tests with excellent grades, flying and in 
classes here at Boulder. 
and 
He is now taking additional work in flying 
Any more data might be giving military 
study.
