MEPHISTOPHELES—This novelty was listed in 1942 due to the many inquiries, 
after showing it in the Boston show it sold so well we had to omit from last year’s list to 
build up stock. This is a hard Glad to describe, so won’t try to. If you like novelties try 
a few. Some will crook, but it’s an eye getter to the ladies. 
Price, 3 bulbs for $1.00 or 15 bulbs for $4.00. No bulblets. 
Max Leavitt, well known grower, writes in the Maine year book when asked to 
write on novel and unusual Glads: The first on my list I believe should be MEPHIS- 
TOPHELES. Here we have a charming little fellow, red with yellow in the throat, 
blotched red. This is a very striking Glad and gets a great deal of attention.
