SNOW PRINCESS 
(Pfitzer) 
Snow Princess may well be called an 
improved Maid of Orleans, which is to- 
day the leading commercial white. In a 
few years Snow Princess will supplant 
the Maid for this coveted position. Its 
points of superiority are: somewhat 
larger florets; a little purer in tone, 
although buds are creamier; will con- 
sistently make much larger bulbs from 
bu'blets; makes better looking bulb; 
bulbs do not sprout in storage; fohage 
stays perfectly green until frost; for 
many growers is a much better propa- 
gator; and will open much better when 
cut in the tight bud. 
Although I have listed this variety 
as a Large Decorative type, the NEGS 
lists it as a Large Formal. One of those 
border line types that has to be good, 
when it can win blue ribbons in either 
class. 
Just as at one time we held the larg- 
est stock of Maid of Orleans in the U. 
S., I believe we now hold the largest 
stock of Snow Princess, and for that 
reason we are offering very low prices 
for so new a variety. I will be glad to 
quote very attractive wholesale prices 
to commercial growers who desire to 
buy in quantity.

HINDENBURG’S MEMORY 
(Pfitzer) 
This deep searlet-red variety won more blue 
ribbons than any other variety in its class in 
the large gladiolus shows of the United States 
during 1941—more than twice as many as its 
nearest competitor. This bright scarlet-red is 
a shade brighter and lighter than Command- 
er Koehl. It is a much healthier grower than 
Koehl, and so far at least, the bulbs have 
shown no tendency to disease. It is a very 
rapid propagator, although bulblets make 
mostly rather small bulbs. 
This is a great exhibition variety and a 
knock-out for local and road-side eut-flower 
sales. But the buds stand out rather badly 
for shipping, which seems to be the only fault.

COMMERCIAL GROWERS—I will be glad 
to send our wholesale list upon request. Of 
some newer varieties, especially Snow Prin- 
14 
cess and Hindenburg’s Memory, we have a 
good supply of all sizes and bulblets and can 
make attractive prices on quantity lots. 
Due to the fact that we are right in the 
midst of an active defense area, it is neces- 
sary that we make a considerable reduction 
in our acreage this season. 
“Our flowers are to a sick, sad mind, and 
to a heart that feels the hurt of the world, 
what the healing hand of a phyician is to a 
sick body. Our flowers are the sunshine that 
breaks thru the clouds to warm Mother Earth 
—to give it renewed vigor and strength—to 
give of it to us and to the new generation 
that comes after us. We all should have only 
one thought, that even in war time, senti- 
ments of a human heart keep on living, and 
with it our flowers.”—Max Schling. 
United States Secretary of Agriculture 
Wickard anounees that mistakes of the first 
World War will be avoided, one of which was 
the curtailment of growing of flowers. He 
views flowers as a very necessary thing in 
the building and keeping of public morale. 
Keep the home fires burning, plant more 
flowers, as well as more vegetables.
